List of Smallville Korea voice actors

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

WP:NOT; there are thousands of TV shows that have been translated into dozens of languages, it is of little encyclopedic value to have articles listing voice actors that have dubbed shows into foreign languages. Even IMDb has a policy against listing these type of credits. There's no reason why Wikipedia should list them either.

I am also nominating the following related pages for the same reasons:

 * *Comment and Support until and unless a convincing argument is made Well, I'll review WP:NOT, but I'm not exactly sure as to which WP:NOT violation you're refering to. Secondly, in your comment There's no reason why Wikipedia should list them either., you're going to have to point out what violation you're refering to, or this is not a legitimate argument.

 * Actually Saikokira did make a convincing argument. If his/her argument wasn't "legitimate", then by implication myself and the others here are wrong to be recommending deletion based on their nomination, but that isn't the case. Crazysuit 05:41, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all. Wiki is not a directory of film dubbers. Ohconfucius 01:29, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all Isn't CSI the most widely dubbed/distributed show in the world? This sets a bad precedent for having all of the sets of dubbers listed for every big show. You could probably have 100 different articles just for Simpsons dubbers. Crazysuit 01:39, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
 * We currently have one for the Simpsons, for the English one; and what makes them any more special than their Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc. counterparts? Carlossuarez46 22:19, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
 * For "the English one"? LOL - there is only one Simpsons - the original American (English language) Simpsons. There aren't any foreign counterparts - just dubbed-foreign-language versions of the original Simpsons. Crazysuit 05:41, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * English-language, but I hope you enjoyed your joke. Just like their English-speaking counterparts, the Spanish-language voice overs in the Simpsons do the same job. You should read WP:BIAS. Carlossuarez46 06:14, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all as Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. This kind of thing is also, as above, absolutely vast and of little encyclopaedic value. -- Mithent 01:43, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak suggestion of a merger to a single article - I can see some small measure of encyclopedic value in a single list article but I don't care enough about it to make much noise. Otto4711 04:29, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: Interesting point. Although not universally the case, in some countries, voice actors are well-known local actors chosen to do dubbing, and so may merit an article, but doesn't appear to be the case here. Clicking through the links to the voice actors here, one disconcertingly finds a bunch of stubs, mostly with nothing more than a list of voice acting credits much like an imbd entry, and no biography to speak of.

 * Delete all I find it absolutely hilarious for some reason that Horatio Caine is voiced by the same guy that does Zabuza Momochi. But really, this information is pointless. JuJube 05:02, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all per Ohconfucius and Mithent. Sr13 (T|C) 05:03, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all not notibility, not independant external coverage. Violation of WP:NOT--Dacium 07:14, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all This is not useful information and doesn't belong in an encyclopedia.  Jody B   14:29, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOT. This sort of thing would be much better handled by some kind of category for voice actors, as that would catch any notable enough for an article.  Ark yan  &#149; (talk) 16:05, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete all, per WP:NOT and plain old common sense. Realkyhick 18:20, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all- per WP:NOT- agree with the category suggestion Thunderwing 19:21, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep all if voice-over is not worthy of inclusion even in a list, why do we bother to keep List of cast members of The Simpsons and would we feel the same way to keeping a List of cast members in the Spanish-language version of The Simpsons? Carlossuarez46 22:17, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep pending a decision on the notability of individual members of the list. Do not create categories. I have no opinion on whether all the individuals named in these lists are notable (I've tried to get Japan voice actor articles deleted in the past on the grounds that they were only sourced to animenewsnetwork, but that failed); if in general the consensus is that they are notable, then the list would be useful for development purposes (as they would contain redlinks to voice actors who had been in notable shows, but lacked articles). Anyway, "collection of indiscriminate information" has a very clear definition, and it's not "information I don't like" --- these lists have obvious criteria for inclusion as well as a high level of verifiability (by checking the broadcaster's website). Also I'd be opposed to creating a category; that would be an example of categorization of actors by performance, which is generally considered a bad idea. cab 03:24, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
