Video game voice actor. No evidence of notability. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:39, 1 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment not sure how this affects the notability of the person, but this The New York Times article says that he wrote Parappa's lyrics, so he's not just a voice actor. Quasi  human  &#124;  Talk  23:15, 1 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete. Not seeing any reliable third-party coverage to verify notability. --DAJF (talk) 00:37, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment. I'm almost certain that, but for sourcing, we'd be able to justify this one. But I can't keep with just the one article. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 13:12, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, I agree. Personally, I think it's likely that there was coverage about him in game mags, especially Japanese ones, but PaRappa the Rapper was released in 1996, before most of these magazines were published online, so sourcing is likely to be hard to find. We can't keep this article just because I have a hunch that there are more sources out there. I'll have another look for sources. Quasi  human  &#124;  Talk  13:25, 4 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete: WP:V is quite explicit and clear; we cannot keep an article just on the unfounded supposition that reliable sources must exist out there, somewhere, which discuss the subject in "significant detail." We can only sustain an article if such sources are produced.  They have not been.  Ravenswing  10:54, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
