Delete fails WP:GNG LADY LOTUS • TALK 12:00, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep. Acted in both SAOs, Attack on Titan, and Magi. These are some of the most popular anime series today. Meets WP:NACTOR #1 --gdfusion (talk|contrib) 22:56, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Meets WP:NACTOR #1 or not, the article is completely unsourced.--180.172.239.231 (talk) 00:25, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That isn't true. The article contains two citations, each of which verifies one of his roles. Those roles are as the primary protagonists in two notable TV series, so those citations alone would be enough to verify that he meets WP:NACTOR #1. Calathan (talk) 00:45, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Easily meets WP:NACTOR #1 with many significant roles in notable TV series. Looking through his listed credits, I found 10 where he seems to be the main protagonist (Hamatora, Knights of Sidonia, Tsuritama, Rozen Maiden: Zurückspulen, Blood Lad, The Devil Is a Part-Timer!, Ace of Diamond, Brynhildr in the Darkness, Valvrave the Liberator, and OniAi), and I stopped looking after that so there may be more. There were also many other roles where he played a major character other than the primary protagonist. While the article certainly could use more sources, he is clearly notable.

Keep. Clearly a notable actor with multiple notable roles. —Xezbeth (talk) 11:24, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep - Article could use a lot more sources (like most other seiyuu articles at the moment), but he's clearly notable with all his major roles. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 11:48, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I agree, the roles of this person makes them notable. Clearly passes the subject specific guideline created for this sort of thing. Dream Focus 21:21, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
