Comment For what it's worth, I don't think this is a complete hoax, because of [1]. I'm not sure that I've seen coverage that reaches WP:GNG, but I did at least want to comment on the hoax concern. --j⚛e decker ^talk 15:10, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete I skimmed the snippets on [2] and clicked about five links. [3] has two sentences to support WP:GNG, but the pattern is that the topic is listed in indiscriminant collections that don't support WP:GNG. However, there are 15 references to the topic in the encyclopedia, which indicates that the history of a stand-alone article or a redirect for this topic on Wikipedia will not end with a delete here. It has been mentioned before that voice actors are under-represented in the popular press. This topic has been presented to the public over many years in voice credits, which by itself is a form of wp:notability, so perhaps a biography will appear in an authoritative history book to provide the viewpoint we need for a BLP.
