 * 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. I see no reason for voice actors having any notability distinct from WP:BIO, and this currently lacks any sources beyond 2 directory sites, but to close this as a delete would not be appropriate given the community input. &mdash; Scientizzle 16:37, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

per WP:NOT and WP:COPY. Someone seems to be going around copying stuff out of Voice Actor Database without due consideration as to whether a person fulfills WP:BIO. Most of the roles appear to be minor ones. Ohconfucius 05:17, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. How busy must a voice actor be before they are notable? This seems to be an eminently sensible stub article for a person who has a seemingly significant body of work. However, as Ohconfucius notes, most of the roles appear to be minor characters. So borderline keep. --Tagishsimon (talk) 11:09, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Question: Can articles on people such as this ever be anything more than mere lists? -- Hoary 11:23, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * keep per Tagishsimon-two dozen or more credits make this substantial even if the roles are minor-not a flash-in-the-pan. Chris 15:26, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment: what is the notability requirement for actors/voice actors? Do we have one codified? —Quasirandom 21:55, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep pending a greater discussion on VA notability. -- Ned Scott 04:44, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
