List of Pokémon voice actors

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

Information about voice actors and the characters they portray are incorporated in the character summaries, either on the main article, list of characters article or individual character articles, as directed by WP:MOS-AM. Because of this, there is no point in keeping a separate "cast list" article and the list does not serve a useful purpose. --Farix (Talk) 14:41, 31 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom's correct rationale and the example of other recent list-of-voice-actor deletions. —Quasirandom (talk) 16:56, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and all my recent prods and AfD comments on similar lists. — Dino guy  1000  21:42, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep; it serves a useful purpose because it gathers them all in one place. One could just as well argue that the List of countries has no purpose because one could simply look them up on the continental lists such as List of European countries. The notability is not in question, so I see no reason for deletion. Esn (talk) 04:01, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Redundant information. This list is suitable in some Anime News Network, not in Wikipedia. And this article is for only anime/game fans. Another lists, such as countries, are for all people in general. Zero Kitsune (talk) 04:15, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Is that a WP:IDONTCARE? The vast majority of Wikipedia's articles are not useful to "all people". Esn (talk) 05:24, 1 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment So all of this is documented somewhere, right? -- Ned Scott 06:38, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * A spot check shows the English and Japanese voice actors are. —Quasirandom (talk) 21:14, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Which means that the Latin American & Brazilian actors are not... Esn (talk) 22:05, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * And this is relevant because? --Farix (Talk) 23:06, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Latin American and Brazilian actors are generally something of interest for the Spanish Wikipedia, not the English one, and if you really feel that it is important that visitors of the English Wikipedia are told who the Latin American and Brazilian actors are, you're free to add them to the character articles yourself.

 * Delete Redundant, and this is only the latest in a number of redundant "list of voice actors" article deletions that have been going on for weeks; precedent supports the nom's reasoning, and so far no one's bothered to raise a good arguement against it. Gelmax (talk) 17:17, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
