List of League of Legends voice actors

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Though League of Legends is notable, there is no need for a list of voice actors. Aside from the notability issue, this article's premise violates GAMEGUIDE, which is why the several previous attempts at listing out the characters and their in-game roles have been deleted, as well. IMDb covers this game's cast-- there is no need to have that information transcribed as a directory. D ARTH B OTTO talk•cont 18:38, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
 * *Keep IMDb is an unreliable source so it should not be relied on to provide accurate information about this subject. League of Legends is so notable that participation through voice acting also would seem to be notable. Also, it is better to have this information in it's own article rather than merging and overenlarging other articles. Atlantic306 (talk) 19:06, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I would certainly not recommend having this kind of information merged into the League of Legends article-- I'm recommending this page is deleted, cut and dry. I'm not arguing that the game is not notable, as it's very much so, but having not only game guides, but cast lists for individual video games, is unprecedented.

 * Perhaps read WP:NOTINHERITED? Just because league is notable, it does not make all the voice actors notable. TheMagikCow (T) (C) 20:11, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Arguments to avoid at deletion discussions rules out almost everything from an inclusion point of view and is a particularly biased essay while  Not Inherited has been given a vast scope that was never intended from its original couple of sentances.Voice acting in a very notable  production obviously gives more notability such as rs coverage than working in little known non notable productions.Atlantic306 (talk) 20:53, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Even if we were discussing the merits of the essay, what about the fact that this page is a virtual recreation of a page that was previously deleted for not being notable and for being a game guide? D ARTH B OTTO talk•cont 01:55, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
 * League of Legends is so notable that participation through voice acting also would seem to be notable. This is a classic suggestion that because League is notable, all the voice actors are too. This goes against the WP:GNG and WP:NRVE - two of the most fundamental principles of article creation. For example, just because Barack Obama is notable, it does not mean his right arm is notable.

 * Another person agreeing that this stance seems to be centered entirely around INHERITED and not wanting to merge it into a parent article, neither being valid arguments in favor of proving stand-alone notability. As my stance below mentions too, your comments on the importance of voice acting in video games flies directly against WikiProject Video Game's current consensus, which, per WP:GAMECRUFT, generally discourages these sorts of lists existing at all, let alone as a stand-alone article.

 * Striking keep vote as there is a consensus against this type of article Atlantic306 (talk) 21:46, 7 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete: Can't find any WP:SIGCOV to establish notability. Fails WP:GNG. TheMagikCow (T) (C) 11:41, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete - The entire article is one giant violation of WP:GAMECRUFT/WP:NOT. Sergecross73   msg me  03:23, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Even if this could be salvaged as a character list, there's no indication that the mass of characters in LoL are notable or could be documented in that way (contrast to Characters of Overwatch where we can support most characters with secondary sources.) --M ASEM (t) 13:45, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is too detailed, trivial information. It's not about the characters, but about their voice actors. Unnecessary. soetermans . ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 09:29, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - Wikipedia is not a directory, so there's no justification for lists of cast members. Also, it really needs to be emphasised (again) that notability is not inherited. Exemplo347 (talk) 21:49, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
