Kenji Nomura

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

One insignificant source was used (World Cat), otherwise there are no secondary sources. No significant roles done by this non-notable voice actor, and neither are there any news coverage or strong significant sources. Sk8erPrince (talk) 06:56, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Weak keep 274 roles in VADB and not on obscure things like adult visual novels. Starring roles as Mitsunori Kugayama in Genshiken, Chairman Harabote in Kinnikuman: Ultimate Muscle, Lorenzo in Ristorante Paradiso, Gilles de Rais in Drifters. He's also in a bunch of supporting roles for shows Battle Spirits, First Love Limited, Jormungand, Kanokon, Valkyria Chronicles, Yes PreCure5, and Yu-Gi-Oh1 5D. A bunch of villains for One Piece.   Reason I listed as weak is that yes, there's not much in secondary interviews unless you dig into a bunch of the Japanese articles. AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 15:28, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
 * All starring roles are from niche, non-notable anime. The number of roles Kenji did is irrelevant; I still fail to see in what way he is known and notable for. Again, even with your claim regarding existing interviews, I don't see them on the article. Non-notable actors do not deserve their own article. --Sk8erPrince (talk) 16:11, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Genshiken, Kinnikuman, Battle Spirits, Yes! PreCure, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D and One Piece are not niche anime. Drifters and Ristorante, yes. Please also see WP:NEXIST Not all sources have to be immediately cited in the article. AngusWOOF ( bark  •  sniff ) 16:46, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Again, like with Omi's page, I'll step back a little bit - list all of Kenji's role in this format, then I'll withdraw this AFD. --Sk8erPrince (talk) 01:50, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
 * No, do not list them in the infobox. They are not extremely tied to the voice actor as with Pikachu. AngusWOOF ( bark  •  sniff ) 10:43, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Alright, but I need the input of other members as well. --Sk8erPrince (talk) 10:49, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
