Mike Cooper (voice-over artist)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I'm thinking WP:ENT applies to voice over artists. in any case he fails WP:BIO. he's not even listed on IMDB and could not find any coverage of him. LibStar (talk) 06:29, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - I feel uncomfortable deleting this article because if Cooper has narrated programmes, news bulletins etc. for the BBC World Service and numerous TV channels, he would certainly meet WP:ENT. However, on the flipside, I feel uncomfortable keeping an article cited only to a blog. I'm struggling to find reliable independent verification of Cooper's work. If someone can find sources, I'd vote 'keep'. Sionk (talk) 11:07, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - fully meets the WP:ENT. Issues with sourcing are unfortunate but not enough to delete the article, on contrary it is an invitation to improve it. Deleting is easy, improving is not, so try doing that instead.--Avala (talk) 13:11, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete No credible assertion of notability ("known for his work" appears to be untrue) and no reliable sources to indicate notability. The person exists, but existing and having a job are not the criteria by which we include people on Wikipedia. Fails basic inclusion criteria.  SilkTork   ✔Tea time  01:41, 19 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete. If the only reference sources that can be found are blog-based, then there is not sufficient reliable third-party coverage to satisfy the notability criteria for a self-standing biographical article. --DAJF (talk) 08:24, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
