 * Speedy delete per WP:SD. Haipa Doragon (talk • contributions) 16:28, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge, but to their character pages, not to the game pages. In many cases on the list this has already been done anyway. --Taelus (talk) 16:42, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - We have to remember that this is still gamecruft and that it isn't following WikiProject Video games/Article guidelines anyways. A merge is just moving the problem elsewhere.  I could maybe see it being listed as part of a character bio for any notable characters, but that's about it.  Having a cast list in a video game where the cast isn't notable isn't encyclopedic, it's something that turns Wikipedia into GameFaqs.  A notable case might be any movie game where the actors reprise their roles, or a game like Brutal Legend, but even then a table of actors seems to cruft-y.  Such things should be merged into the development section of an article if necessary. I still vote for Speedy and Strong Delete per my nomination, Haipa Doragon's notes, and my comments above.  --Teancum (talk) 17:35, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree with you, as a list is has no place on Wikipedia. However, as a single line, or an entry in the info box on relevant character pages, as is already existant in the majority of characters in that list, it fits into Wikipedia. Therefore I stand by my view of merging the information to the pages which do not already contain it. However I do support the deletion of this as a standalone page, or a list on a gamepage. --Taelus (talk) 18:32, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I would be happy with a merge to Super Smash Bros. (series) or each individual character's Wikipedia entry such as Pit from Kid Icarus, but it should be put into an infobox, or into the prose of the article. --Teancum (talk) 18:53, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to Super Smash Bros. (series). Information relevant to a notable game per rationales given above. - 2 ... says you, says me 18:59, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge as proposed above. Looks pretty clear cut to me.
 * Speedy Delete under A7 (unremarkable group of people that doesn't assert the importance or significance). These people were involved in important topics, but are themselves non-notable.  I see no reason why we'd want any of this material in the video games - not notable and what's more, there are no sources provided whatsoever. ~ Amory ( user  •  talk  •  contribs ) 22:46, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, do not merge to the game articles per point 10 of WP:GAMETRIVIA (I can't see how this voice cast would be particularly notable). Go ahead and merge individual entries to the character articles if any of them don't have them though. BryanG (talk) 06:38, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete We don't really know who voices who in Brawl. --Trogga 12:22, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * "Voiced by such-and-such in Super Smash Bros."? In my opinion, that is also unnecessary. We had similar discussions regarding such lists from the Mega Man and Metal Gear series. Delete. MuZemike 16:51, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
