The result was   keep. Although it is debateable whether there are the major roles normally required to meet WP:ENT, the concensus here is clearly to keep --  Phantom Steve / talk &#124; contribs \ 02:03, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Does not meet WP:ENT and article is WP:PUFF, notoriety is trying to be established with list of voice credits, but none of the roles seem major. avs5221 (talk) 04:28, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
 * comment - Not sure I get the how a list of credit is WP:PUFF (which isn't even policy), and I haven't seen most of those shows - but Corin Nander from Turn-A Gundam is a one of the main antagonists in that series. 159.182.1.4 (talk) 13:13, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Japanese sources, including the ja.wiki article, give a rather impressive list of credits, which should be gone through to see whether any are lead roles -- if so, then it would be a keep as passing WP:ENTERTAINER. —Quasirandom (talk) 14:27, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm, almost all of those are tiny roles. Few even have names, and a lot of those are obviously one shot parts. It's certainly possible there are major roles in the shows I'm not familiar with... Doceirias (talk) 20:01, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment Did some sourcing and fixing. That nothing but some jury rigging. So far a litany of secondary roles. --KrebMarkt 21:16, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment I've noticed that the filmography is woefully incomplete. I will work on adding a more complete filmography soon. —Farix (t &#124; c) 21:41, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep After adding a more complete list of voice roles, I have to say that the Kawazu does pass WP:ENT for having several major roles in notable series. Among them Sago, one of the four main protagonists in Shinzo, and Glide from MegaMan NT Warrior. —Farix (t &#124; c) 22:19, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Looking pretty iffy to me. The role for H2O for example isn't even mentioned on the series page. A whole lot of secondary roles but almost nothing that says "signficant" to me. —Quasirandom (talk) 00:12, 3 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Taking another look at himself and series he's been involved with, there's enough significant, even lead, roles in his resume hidden among all the bit parts that I'm going to say he passes WP:ENTERTAINER and so is a keep. One wonders why his career is so highly variable, though. Out of curiosity, has anyone checked the usual voice acting magazines for coverage of him yet? —Quasirandom (talk) 03:48, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep With that many notable series the voice actor has done work for, they are clearly notable.  D r e a m Focus  09:18, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
