Voice-over for Hermione, Hilary Duff, and some others, but nothing notable in the anime world. Submarine 707R isn't really a notable anime title, and not much for Garo the Animation. No sources. Worth keeping? AngusWOOF ( bark  •  sniff ) 03:08, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete People who do dubbing work are very rarely notable for such.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:03, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
 * That is an extremely broad statement to make and debatable in its accuracy. Deletion arguments should be made on the basis of this article, not a preconception of all dub actors.SephyTheThird (talk) 06:05, 9 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete Making a case on the notability of her roles dubbing Hollywood actors is hard to prove either way, unlike anime or game reviews there simply isn't a western viewpoint on them to make coverage easy. With the Japanese coverage likely to be buried in specialist press that is difficult to access we can't prove that their dubs are notable or not, good luck finding Japanese reviews telling us how well she dubs the roles. That doesn't mean she isn't notable for these but there isn't enough to assume she is. It's quite common for Japanese actors to dub a western actor "for life" to provide a consistent voice but I'm not sure there is a case for giving importance to these particular actors, several of which are known almost entirely for a single role (one is almost entirely associated with one series of films and another for one, maybe two tv roles. So in that regard she is hardly Yasuo Yamada or Kiyoshi Kobayashi. As for her anime roles, almost all bit parts for mostly minor series. Some of her other work (looks like she might have done some Drama work) is going to be difficult to source or define notability from as well. I can only assume that the article was created by a fan feeling she needed an article and not because of merit.SephyTheThird (talk) 21:00, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per lack of coverage, although if significant coverage in Japanese appeared, I would potentially change my vote. Voice actors do occasionally garner enough media attention to be considered notable, with features in trade magazines and film releases, but sadly they usually get the short-stick in terms of coverage, or interviews only.
