 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This page seems borderline when it comes to passing WP:NACTOR, so perhaps additional thoughts at AfD can tip the scale. The only clear role meeting criteria 1 as a "significant role" in a notable show is WorldEnd. The other linked roles do not appear to be major. The redlinked Battle Spirits: Burning Soul (is it a notable show?) has the character billed 11th at ANN, and there are six characters in the photo, so I'm inclined not to count that as major. The video game roles don't have anything to indicate they are significant. The tipping point comes in the dubbing role of Korean show Love in the Moonlight, where the character is billed third on the page. So are there thoughts on whether this counts as significant? A dubbing role isn't much different for voice actors in the first place. Even if thoughts are yes, it's still borderline, with this being only the second major role to be "multiple". - 2pou (talk) 19:44, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Procedural note. This page seems to be transcluded twice on the log for today? Not sure what might be going on there. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 20:30, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
 * For some reason I had to create this more than once. The first go-round, Twinkle created all the log and sort entries and notified as appropriate, but this actual AfD page was not created.  Said something about a missing token?  Anyway, I had to recreate the AfD, and in doing so, Twinkle made another log entry.  I have removed it. -2pou (talk) 20:57, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

 * KEEP the main protagonist WorldEnd and the rest of his work shows he is a notable voice actor, having a significant part in notable media.  D r e a m Focus  02:32, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
 * That role is admittedly a significant one, but my question to the community is which, if any, of the other roles is notable in order to satisfy the multiple criteria of NACTOR and not have a case of WP:TOOSOON. To be clear, I am not convinced all other roles are not notable; I am just looking for input on what others think since my opinion is more of an, "Eh... I dunno. It seems like a stretch, but please tell me what I'm missing." -2pou (talk) 05:26, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Toosoon is just a pointless essay, and no idea why you'd use it here for someone who has been working since 2013.  D r e a m Focus  23:44, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Jeez... why so hostile? Essay or not... it was only intended to illustrate the point of the question, not claim that one needs X amount of experience to qualify.  If preferred the question can simply be phrased as "Is it too soon to say that this actor has had more than one notable role, or do we think we're already there?" knowing full well that there is always potential for getting cast in a major role next week, next month, next year... in which case it would become clear that WP:NACTOR is satisfied. -2pou (talk) 01:14, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep per DreamFocus, the actor passes WP:NACTOR, there are multiple films and significant coverage is a subjective term. To me considering his acting career, the article can stay. ☆★  Mamushir   ( ✉✉ ) 17:10, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. The point of WP:NACTOR and other similar SNGs is that it gives us a rough guideline as to when people will probably have the kind of significant coverage necessary to pass WP:GNG. But none of the keep arguments here have actually provided any sourcing that indicates notability! Without sourcing, we cannot retain the article. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 19:40, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
