Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mariko Honda


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   no consensus to delete, default to keep. There is clearly a dispute as to whether or not the subject is notable. Keep arguments are slightly stronger, as only a single notability guideline need be met, but the source used to verify the information is itself not terribly strong. lifebaka ++ 17:44, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

Contested PROD. The subject fails both WP:BIO and WP:GNG. I have been unable to find any reliable sources for the subject. There are plenty of user-edited sources, but nothing reliable. Inks.LWC (talk) 18:21, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. Not seeing any reliable coverage or sourcing to satisfy notability criteria. --DAJF (talk) 22:54, 15 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment CSE search for 東山奈央. --Malkinann (talk) 05:47, 16 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep Passes the guidelines for voice actors at WP:ENTERTAINER. Anime News Network does a good job of stating which were major roles in a series.  If you sincerely doubt the information there, it can be confirmed on the person's official website, or in the credits of the products mentioned.   D r e a m Focus  04:45, 17 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Weak keep. There's enough here to where the characters she portrays are either main characters or notable characters and at least one of the series Omamori Himari has a decent following outside of Japan. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 05:35, 17 September 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79


 * Keep. Per Dream Focus Comment and per WP:A&M/ORS.--Ald™ ¬_¬™ 12:39, 17 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep. --shikai shaw (talk) 19:45, 17 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete: She's a Japanese voice actress and even the Japanese Wikipedia doesn't have an article for her. While that in and of itself isn't a reason to delete, she does not appear to be notable. Yes the info is verifiable (although relying solely on ANN's database for a keep when its been shown numerous times to be unreliable is bad form), there is no reason to believe she is notable. 陣 内 Jinnai 21:57, 17 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment Hitoshi Doi's seiyuu database lists her as having three interviews or articles in anime magazines . I haven't seen those articles (and can't read Japanese, so I couldn't read them anyway), but they might qualify as significant coverage from reliable sources. Calathan (talk) 05:47, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I have at least one of those magazines, but likewise I can't read it. If someone is willing to take a look (and I can actually find the issues in question) I can provide photos of the pages in question. Shiroi Hane (talk) 13:57, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
