WP:BLP of a voice actor, not properly sourced as passing WP:NACTOR. As always, the notability test for an actor is not passed just because the article lists acting roles, and requires some evidence of third party analytical coverage about him and his performances in media to get him over WP:GNG -- but the only "sources" listed here are his own website and an IMDB-like voice acting directory, which are not notability-building sources, and he's so poorly sourceable that it's actually in question whether he's American or Irish by nationality, with the voice acting directory saying he was born in County Wicklow while his IMDB profile says he was born in Shawnee, Oklahoma, and no better sources have proven locatable to resolve that conflict at all. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to pass GNG on better sourcing than I've been able to find.

 * Delete: per nom. BLP, fails GNG and BIO. BEFORE showed nothing that meets IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject direct and indepth. WP:BLP states "Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources"'; BLPs need IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth for both content and notability per well known core policy (WP:V and WP:BLP) and guidelines (WP:BIO and WP:IS, WP:RS, WP:SIGCOV). BEFORE showed nothing that meets SIGCOV, game news, database, promo.  // Timothy :: talk  06:40, 22 April 2023 (UTC)  // Timothy :: talk  06:40, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete. Article is essentially unsourced, with just a few footnotes citing directory listings and the actor's own website which is a primary source. Searches in Wikipedia Library and ProQuest turn up only a few passing mentions of his name in secondary sources (e.g. listing of his name in credits for Tales of Earthsea and mention that he is appearing at ComicCon along with other actors). Fails WP:BASIC and does not meet WP:GNG. There are other websites and blogs much better suited for promotional purposes than Wikipedia. Cielquiparle (talk) 08:51, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Possibly the "best" piece of coverage is a 2019 Q&A interview on the making of Hearthstone that appeared on Forbes.com, but it's written by a contributor and contributed articles to Forbes.com are not considered reliable sources on Wikipedia, plus it's essentially a primary source, and hence does not count toward notability.
