List of Cowboy Bebop voice actors

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

A useless list of voice actors without mentioning who they play. Some of these actors voice a trivial character in a single episode. Brian Kendig (talk) 20:36, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unsourced listcruft, that despite its length manages to contain virtually no usable information. ~ mazca talk 20:46, 16 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete: This article isn't encyclopedic, and it doesn't seem notable enough. Dwilso  21:33, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment This was listified from a category a year ago by a bot -- can anyone figure out why? —Quasirandom (talk) 02:44, 17 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete, anime articles do not have cast lists and the voicing of major characters is already covered in the List of Cowboy Bebop characters. Redundant, unsourced listcruft of no encyclopedic or notable value, particularly when it doesn't even say what role anyone plays. Collectonian (talk) 02:48, 17 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep these all seem to be arguments for rewriting or otherwise reworking the article, not eliminating it. The strongest argument here is that it might (due to the cast listings) not be verifiable.  I submit that there are plenty of sources out there to dig through this for anyone interested in doing so.  there doesn't seem to be some guidance on the wikipedia list guidelines that meshes with the feelings of the editors here.  nothing on there suggests that lists are by their nature superfluous so I don't think we should make the judgment independent from that without some good reason.  furthermore, there seem to be fountains of lists of notable figures where the list itself would not otherwise be notable.  This seems to me to be a case where the function of the list is a sorting device and an aid to navigation, not an encyclopedic virtue by itself.  24.160.240.212 (talk) 03:02, 17 April 2008 (UTC) (The previous comment is from me (Protonk (talk) 23:38, 17 April 2008 (UTC)) not logged in, in case people lend less weight to IP's than users.
