Jun Fukuyama

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

DELETE. Yes, there are tons of credits. No, we are not IMDb. If you want a biographical article on Wikipedia we need to see some substantial third party coverage about the person from a reliable publication. JBsupreme (talk) 07:25, 18 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep Jun Fukuyama has won the first Seiyu Awards in Best Actor in leading role. I'm aware that wikipedia has bias issue and will discount that prize as an outlander non notable non reliable prize for Japanese seiyu but still i tried. I agree that this article would be way better with some sources thought like that one to the Seiyu Awards --KrebMarkt 10:16, 18 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep Passes WP:ENTERTAINER for having significant roles in multiple successful television series, including Lelouch Lamperouge from Code Geass, Kimihiro Watanuki from xxxHOLiC and xxxHOLiC Kei, Takaaki Kōno from To Heart 2, and Kraft Lawrence from Spice and Wolf. All of these are the lead male character in their respective series. While most articles on Japanese voice actors are in a sorry state because few editors have access to the Japanese sources do to language barriers, this is not a reason to delete an article. --Farix (Talk) 11:45, 18 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Passes WP:ENTERTAINER C1 by having several lead roles in multiple commercially produced television shows = Keep. Per policy, being scanty of information other than roles is not a wikicrime, but rather a reason to either wait for others to add to it or to find and add it yourself. —Quasirandom (talk) 14:34, 18 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment I had to remove the ANN reference as it was user edited and part of their encyclopedia so the credits are in question (Most look like they were copy/pasted from this source). —Knowledgekid87 (talk) 11:41, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem with that. In the end the best would be that every single role should be asserted with a reference to the anime series cast page. Majors & recurrent support roles are not a problem but the remaining ones will be hellish to prove. I will give it a shot tonight for the major roles. --KrebMarkt 16:24, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay sorry for the huge project I just wanted to point that out, that there is where most of the credits came from.- Knowledgekid87 16:14, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems Notable and passes WP:ENTERTAINER per say, the references just need to be worked on and it looks like KrebMarkt has been doing a good job on that =). - Knowledgekid87 16:14, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Total of added references 24. That will prove that Jun Fukuyama "indeed" voiced enough lead & recurrent support characters to be a notable voice actor. I cowardly leave the insane among of remaining roles to other editors. --KrebMarkt 21:24, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * How many of the 24 references amount to non-trivial coverage? Just curious.  JBsupreme (talk) 08:45, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * My point is to prove that he "really" has a lot of verifiable lead roles or recurrent support roles as voice actors. That enough to pass WP:ENTERTAINER C1. You can still either contest the validity of those references or demonstrate that WP:ENTERTAINER can't be applied here if you want it to be deleted. --KrebMarkt 09:51, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

More stuff: After some in-depth recon mission, i found that Jun Fukuyama was on the cover of the Japanese Voice NewType issue #28, October 2008. NewType Amazon.co.jp another seller. Anyone wanting a Jun Fukuyama's B5 format poster? A good find for animanga project for seyiu coverage some past issue. It's was tricky but fun. --KrebMarkt 10:31, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep - KrebMarkt's knack for finding references pays off again. It needs additional work, but the effort put in so far is enough to show notability in my opinion. Dandy Sephy (talk) 17:59, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Lack of references is grounds for improvement, not deletion, and as KrebMarkt (or even a simple Gnews search) have shown, there are ample sources available. Edward321 (talk) 17:29, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
