 * Delete – Agree: unsourced BLP article, so no evidence of notability demonstrated. And based on what's presented there, the subject almost certainly does not meet WP:NACTOR. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 13:43, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - Plenty of secondary sources under the name of "Elise Zhang". STSC (talk) 23:25, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Care to elaborate? Where are these "plenty of secondary sources"?... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 03:49, 8 December 2018 (UTC)


 * As far as I can tell,, Zhang's only significant role is as the character Mei from the popular video game Overwatch. I can't find anything substantial about her as an actor, besides the game (WP:INHERIT). soetermans . ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 08:16, 8 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I found many sources from Google searches on "Elise Zhang" and "张昱". The article would pass the WP:GNG; "people who meet the basic criteria may be considered notable without meeting the additional criteria". It just needs more translated content from the Chinese article which lists other works she has involved in. - STSC (talk) 10:53, 8 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I found many sources... - Post them then. Baseless claims aren't helpful. The Chinese article isn't even properly sourced. It's just as bad. --The1337gamer (talk) 11:28, 8 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I was actually in the process of getting some of the sources posted here for discussion. Both English/Chinese articles do need some improvements on the citations. STSC (talk) 11:58, 8 December 2018 (UTC)

 * I'm not familiar with sources for film articles, but from a WP:VG standpoint, these are not reliable. And it's pretty focused on Overwatch. soetermans . ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 19:51, 8 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Mei (Overwatch). The sources provided are all about the character, not the voice actress.  Sure, she's mentioned, but she's not the primary topic of the coverage, and an actor's notability isn't inherited from their character.  Some roles are so massive that they're likely to get coverage of both the character and the individual e.g. Ned Luke and Steven Ogg of Grand Theft Auto V but unfortunately that's just the way media coverage works.
