Steve Olson (actor)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Olson doesn't appear to be notable. I found this student newspaper which confirms that he's an academic at SAIT Polytechnic who does voice acting as a hobby, but on its own that's not enough. I couldn't find any other reliable sources covering him. I don't see that he meets either WP:NPROF or WP:NACTOR. Huon (talk) 23:45, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete. Just as for any other kind of actor, the notability test for voice actors is not simply the ability to copy and paste a list of their acting roles from IMDb or another IMDb-like directory — every actor has always had acting roles by definition, so just listing roles does not automatically hand an actor a free exemption from having to actually have any reliable source coverage about them. The notability test for people, regardless of occupation, always has less to do with what the article says, and more to do with how well the article references what it says.
