Fails WP:GNG. The references in the article do not show notability and there don't appear to be other references available online. --Ferien (talk) 21:47, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Clearly meets WP:NACTOR. 17 years as the lead of The Bozo Show and hundreds of voice roles in television and film. Novemberjazz 05:01, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep Per the subject-specific WP:NACTOR criteria that overrides GNG. His contributions in the voice acting realm can rightly be described as "prolific" due to the vast amount of media he performed in. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:57, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Are you sure this overrides GNG? It is under #Additional criteria and that says conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included. I thought that GNG overrides these specific subject-specific notability guidelines. --Ferien (talk) 13:33, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It is infact the other way around, subject specific guidelines override GNG. While they are also not definitive in stating something is notable, there has to be a really solid reason why it would be an exception. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 18:05, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That's not really correct either. Everyone has their opinions, but both are merely different indicators of what may or may be notable. Sergecross73 msg me 20:29, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. For sure an F-list voice actor, and the "meat" of the article will probably always be something of a stub due to the weak references, but the notability inclusion criteria for actors is pretty low. SnowFire (talk) 16:25, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - To think someone could host a television show for 17 years and not be notable ~~is...exceedingly bad judgement~~ is exceedingly unlikely. Please think hard about what exactly our notability requirements are aiming to do. This...isn't it. Sergecross73 msg me 17:03, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Sergecross73, I don't think saying I have exceedingly bad judgement was necessary. I probably could have checked a little harder, I'm aware of that now, but I'm not an active editor at AfD, and considering we've now got to a level where my judgement is being unnecessarily attacked here, that is completely irrelevant to the article at hand, that's probably for good reason. It was snowing heavily before you turned up – I already got the message, thanks. --Ferien (talk) 21:59, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I apologize if my comment was over the top, I just find it frustrating when there's so many bad articles out there, and people target articles with a relatively easy-to-envision path to notability instead. Sergecross73 msg me 13:59, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's understandable and I will certainly pay more attention in any future AfD nominations I make. --Ferien (talk) 17:37, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, let's not WP:BITE users who try to bring things to AfD. I'd rather have some articles determined to be notable and kept than non-notable articles not be brought here at all out of fear of being called an editor with bad judgement. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 12:01, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - He is a notable person. Kinkordada (talk) 18:03, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per the claims above. --Rtkat3 (talk) 14:35, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Clearly fulfills WP:NACTOR. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 18:43, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
