Non-notable actor. Known for being the voice of a computer game character. Also voiced the character in a short 30 min film. Nothing other then that. Created it seems as part of a series of articles based around the game. Caffeyw (talk) 12:36, 15 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and improve - Actor received coverage from several large video game media outlets, such as this article at Kotaku, [1]. Was also nominated as best voice actor in (at least) one major video game awards show, the Spike VGAs. Won a DICE award [2]. #4 in top 10 best video game actors at Game Informer. WP:BEFORE applies here. --Teancum (talk)

As an aside, I find it slightly concerning the vast majority of this user's edits are AfD-related, and there have been only ~630 edits in a month. --Teancum (talk) 14:34, 15 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I would say keep (per above), but as the creator of the article I don't really have much of an input. I will try and improve the article as much as I can today. Thanks, Teancum, for giving me a bit of a headstart (yet again!), and I hope the consensus will be keep, as I really think Wiethoff deserves an article. --Rhain1999 (talk) 01:36, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and allow continued improvements by those willing to build content. I am becoming concerned at the nominator's concentration on new articles, and encourage him to read and show understanding WP:BEFORE, WP:WIP , and WP:PERFECT before nominating brand news article for deletion.

Keep per above. The nominator should also have a look at WP:NAFD. Taylor Trescott - ^{my talk} + _{my edits} 21:56, 17 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
SNOW Keep I do;t want to do it myself, but I would urge a snow keep on this and similar nominations--trying to delete hopeless articles is an excellent way to improve WP, but trying to delete new promising ones instead of trying to reference them is an excellent way to discourage newcomers and harm the encyclopedia.
