Katashi Ishizuka
Is this Japanese voice actor "notable enough" within their field for inclusion on Wikipedia or is this "vanity"? Returns 192 hits on google    but perhaps there are more if performing some sort of a Japanese search? In contrast, Makio Inoue returns nearly 3000 hits.

 * Delete article does not establish notability, possible vanity. Megan1967 05:50, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep He has had some significant roles in anime and video games.Besides,this isn't even close to "vanity;" and I don't endorse vanity myself.Not to mention that there's at least one seiyu(mentioned in at least one article) which lacks an individual English article,but IMHO is less deserving of an one than the seiyu that already have existing articles...Ranma9617 06:54, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Neutral. 4340 hits (562 displayed) in Japanese; 105 additional English hits with proper name ordering. Vanity seems Pretty Unlikely, and even if it were, the creator has almost 2000 contributions, so I'd be inclined to be a bit lenient. :)  No opinion on notability within his genre; I don't follow anime. &mdash;Korath (Talk) 07:40, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)
