 * – ( View AfD View log )

Voiced a notable character but it's his only role. No sources found. Last AFD was five years ago. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 22:54, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep – significance verified per imdb listing. Nominator's rationale of voicing a notable character as the individual's "only role" is baseless. Northamerica1000 (talk) 13:24, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - IMDB listings may give some guidance, but looking at the listed credits, I see the roles of a working actor and not much else. This doesn't tell us whether he is or isn't notable. -- Whpq (talk) 16:34, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Per WP:IMDB, you cannot use IMDB as a source as it is user generated content. This is the same reason you can't use Wikipedia as a source.  You can use IMDB in the external link section to give the reader an option to find more info from a very popular and informative site.  Bgwhite (talk) 20:21, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - We can verify that he did voice Mario, but there's no coverage about that in any independent reliable sources. He's mentioned here.  But I don't see the sourcing to establish notability. -- Whpq (talk) 16:45, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Insufficient reliable sources to meet GNG. IMDB is not reliable. Norespectasip (talk) 19:35, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Meets WP:ENTERTAINER.  Has played significant roles in notable productions.  And his IMDB entry is a reliable source, since you can confirm any information in the primary source, or at places like Amazon that sell those products which also list the main voice actors.  You can also see his filmography at the New York Times website, which is not user generated.    D r e a m Focus  22:18, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
 * What about other sources? You have to have more than just IMDb. And I found nothing. Also, I fail to see how any of his other roles are "significant" if none of them are recurring characters save for Mario.
