Minami Hinata

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Japanese voice actor at the start of her career who doesn't meet the requirements of WP:ENTERTAINER. A case of WP:TOOSOON. John B123 (talk) 16:13, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment I've added a reference. The Japanese Wikipedia article is more substantial and has several references to what appear to be magazines/books. Perhaps these sources establish notability? Hard to tell. NemesisAT (talk) 16:21, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Weak keep she has two starring roles in anime television series. Those should be listed up front in the main paragraph. AngusW🐶🐶F  ( bark  •  sniff ) 16:51, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Having analyzed the various sources listed in the jawiki article, most of them are non-independent, unreliable, or don't mention her. The only potentially usable one for notability purposes is from realsound.jp, which states the following about the subject: Also, the power of Minami Hinata, the voice of Bojji, is amazing. Hinata joined her current talent agency in 2019, and Ranking of Kings is her first starring role. Although her career is still short, she has a wonderful performance. Even with only a few words, she clearly conveys Bojji's emotional fluctuations and pureness. I think that's probably why the characters seem more emotional and Bojji is more enchanting.
 * That leaves the five print sources. Right off the bat we can eliminate the fifth source, as it contains the word 対談 ("dialogue, conversation, interview") in the title. So in addition to that one online source, there are four print sources which may or may not contain significant coverage; we have no way of knowing one way or the other unless someone can track down a copy of the sources.
 * Finally, as for WP:NACTOR, she plays the leading role in Ranking of Kings and a major role in She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wise Man. I've never heard of either of these, but apparently they're semi-popular; certainly not household names, at the very least. The jawiki page also lists her as having roles in Yo-kai Watch and Crayon Shin-chan which are definitely household names, but considering the dearth of coverage regarding these roles (jawiki doesn't even source them), I assume they're extremely minor.
 * In light of everything, and considering the difficulty of finding sources in a foreign language, I will give the benefit of the doubt and !vote to keep. Mlb96 (talk) 18:58, 27 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep with thanks to Mlb96's analysis. Oaktree b (talk) 20:09, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
