Nominate for deletion Received no consensus in 2007 AfD. Doesn't seem to meet WP:NOTABILITY. Has been tagged as of doubtful notability for 6 years. Boleyn (talk) 18:26, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Weak delete - normally I would state that voice actors are notable per WP:ENTERTAINER, but it appears that she hasn't done any major roles. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 05:58, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - She may have not been in many major roles in popular shows, but I think she was at least part of enough shows to be notable. Bensci54 (talk) 19:34, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment - Have sources been checked using the anime she has starred in as the search targets? If she has starred in multiple roles she could pass Notability based on the coverage. I noticed that the last AfD closed with sourcing as the problem. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 05:25, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete. With sourcing consisting only of ANN and IMDB links, this does not constitute sufficient in-depth third-party coverage to establish notability or justify a self-standing biographical article like this. No indication of any notable or major roles. --DAJF (talk) 02:54, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep I don't know if any of the characters she did in a notable series were major characters or just bit parts, but she has done a lot of work in notable things. Is it a theme song she did for one series, or just a one time use song?  God of War is a massively successful game which chose her to be the voice of one of the goddesses in the game for the Japanese version.  Other video games have used her as well.  They could afford to hire anyone, and they focus on quality these days for these sorts of things, so they must think well of her.   D r e a m Focus  23:29, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Her role in Happy Lesson is one of the main characters, and it is in a notable work. Her other roles look like either minor roles in notable works, or major roles in works that may be non-notable (e.g. she plays the title character in Eien no Aseria, but I'm not sure that OAV is notable). Calathan (talk) 14:11, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
 * In Labyrinth of Flames she is one of the main characters also. So that's at least two of her many roles that are significant enough to pass WP:ENTERTAINER.   D r e a m Focus  20:44, 25 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete I've been unable to find reliable, secondary sourcing which establishes the notability of this voice actor under WP:GNG, and in 2011, I tried, as evidenced by the reference, now since scrubbed, I added to, which is a passing name-check, not in-depth coverage.   --j⚛e deckertalk 19:24, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete No reliable secondary sources to be found to support WP:N. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 20:33, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
