Japanese dubs of foreign media are not considered to be notable. Subject is not shown to have any notable roles in any notable series. Article is inadequately sourced in JP Wiki as well. MizukaS (talk) 11:17, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

 * I am probably not up to date on the standards for this, but the first character that was unlinked in her non-dubbing section was Etna (Disgaea), which has its own article. This leads me to believe there may be other "notable roles in notable series" that aren't expanded upon in the current version the article. Dekimasu よ! 19:39, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Her character is listed third at List of The King of Braves GaoGaiGar characters, which leads me to believe that may be a main character in that series. Popolocrois (anime) says "main character in the second series." Again, I don't know anything in particular about these series. Dekimasu よ! 19:47, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep: Hello, I think I found the news references from Google search both in our language and Japanese, there is no reason to want to delete the article without having any precedent of the work done by the Japanese voice actress Tomoe Hanba. First, we should translate from Japanese Wikipedia to get valid references. 148.0.108.191 (talk) 00:58, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Can you list the news articles here? Do they show significant coverage? AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 17:07, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
 * The IP 148.0. is Special:Contributions/148.0.103.156 evading a block. Binksternet (talk) 05:18, 1 March 2018
 * believes that I was evading the block for this anonymous ip recently banned for a year, I do not know what you're talking about, I was correcting these celebrity articles when he does not let me explain about the case of the Japanese voice actress Kikuko Inoue only the internet restarted me in a matter of minutes before.. 148.101.32.39 (talk) 06:24, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, you are the same editor that got blocked as Special:Contributions/148.0.103.156. You keep edit-warring on Japanese voice artist articles, for instance this reversion you performed today. You got noticed for edit warring in the first place, then the IP was blocked as a proxy. To me, it appears as if you have tangled with for four years over your edit warring at Kikuko Inoue. Looks like you got blocked as,  and . Binksternet (talk) 15:19, 1 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment Her anime work isn't that notable - supporting characters at best. However, she is a regular in the Disgaea series, and has mentions in several video game articles.     AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 17:07, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
 * If something like that, for example:    and apart from saying that he has no notable role, well I did not find any reference about her anime work but I found something Hanba participated in the Japanese dub as additional voices in the anime Azumanga Daioh which was not accredited.  148.0.117.206 (talk) 02:01, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment - I don't do much in the way of anime/VA stuff, so I don't know if I'll give a stance or not, but I thought I'd note that voicing Etna in the Disgaea series would be a...less-than-minor role, at least. It's a long-running, relatively popular worldwide video game franchise that's been going on 15 years. She seems to be used as a mascot of sorts for Nippon Ichi Software, though I have no idea how prevalent this VA is in the character's in that area.

 * Keep Has voiced many significant roles, which passes WP:ENTERTAINER for voice actors ("Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions.") Lonehexagon (talk) 23:18, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
 * What are her notable roles? I'm only seeing Etna in Disgaea listed. Was she a major voice in other video games? AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 20:45, 7 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep - per WP:ENTERTAINER. per Lonehexagons rationale. BabbaQ (talk) 23:09, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
