Article topic lacks significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. (?) Nothing more than passing mentions. czar 09:09, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per WP:TOOSOON. The article is poorly sourced, with links to unreliable sources IMDb and the encyclopedia portion of ANN. ANN does show she voices in anime, but no lead roles in any notable anime shows. Also she did not win an award; the show she was on did, and it's unclear whether that award is notable. No entries in AnimeCons which means she is not a regular on the anime convention circuit. [1] AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 20:36, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete I've removed the ANN encyclopedia sources given that area of the site is not reliable. I don't know how big the credited roles are (15 episodes on one show but how big is the actual part?) but based on the list given she would seem to be yet another actor local to Texas who gets given random bit part roles when Funimation need someone to say a few lines here and there.

• Keep Since this article was nominated for deletion and since the previous comments on this talk page, it was announced that she would be voicing two leading roles in the English dub of Charlotte^[1]. I have updated this page to reflect that announcement with reliable sources. It does not appear that she is a local Texas hire as the above user has suggested since the shows she has been on are Bang Zoom shows, not Funimation shows, and since the Amazon show she is on is about Los Angeles and films in Los Angeles. The show just started on Amazon and perhaps someone should create a page for the series. This actress is one of the leads.

That announcement still gives us no substantial coverage with which to write an article. Her role can be adequately covered in the dub's section of the anime's respective page/section. czar 16:03, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've struck through my statement about Funimation as you are quite correct. Clearly I made that remark based on her place of birth rather than researching her roles (an easy and honest assumption considering). As for the update It's still only one major role, and it's still a very short list of roles. Is there any information for this other show? It's a bit difficult to consider it if there is nothing being said about it. How significant is it and is there any discussion of her role?SephyTheThird (talk) 17:20, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• 'Keep I don't agree with IMDB not being a reliable source. That's almost like saying Wikipedia is an unreliable source.https://www.amazon.co.uk/L-A-Macabre/dp/B01G7K2X38 Here is a link to Amazon.uk.com which shows it's aquisition on LA Macabre the webseries she is on. Amazon should be a credible source, no? Even if it's not making headlines yet or being talked about, it is still factual. She apparently plays a lead role as a girl name Jamie who gets kidnapped. EDIT: http://www.indiewire.com/2015/06/l-a-macabre-web-series-investigates-what-happens-when-you-confront-a-cult-61145/ I don't know how credible of a source indie wire is, but here is another link to LA Macabre and all who are involved are included, including the previous history of crew members as well as Ryan. Some involved were involved with shows such as Futurama and the movie Megamind.the Along with this she credited in her 2008 film with Nikki Blonsky as well as her supporting roles in Love Live and the recent Your Lie in April animes , I think these are noteworthy and given her recent role in Charlotte it would seem she may be fairly new? If there are future unannounced projects it may keep you all from having to remake this page.

I agree that there should be no bias against IMdB on Wikipedia. I have never found anything inaccurate. If I thought something is not right with IMdb, I would not use that particular material. Hot Furnace (talk) 14:23, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Except that Wikipedia is an unreliable source. See Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources, which also explains our stance on Amazon and IMDB in articles. czar 16:34, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Her roles in Your Lie and Fate/stay night Unlimited Blade Works are way down there in the Additional voices section. LA Macabre is a web series but lacks notability. It was literally at Kickstarter level and doesn't even have a Wikipedia article. Love Live she has a supporting role. That leaves the very recently announced Charlotte as her sole lead ensemble role. I still stand with WP:TOOSOON; if you want to move the article to draft or userify then you can see whether she will eventually become notable, but not right now.

Keep I have no knowledge of this actress, but she seems to qualify as do nearly all actresses. Am unable to evaluate the references. Hot Furnace (talk) 14:39, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete; clearly non-notable. If you hold that imdb is a reliable source in this case (against Wikipedia practise, see Wikipedia:Citing IMDb) then I'm afraid this encyclopaedia is not a suitable place for you. Best, FoCuS contribs; talk to me! 14:42, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Limited roles and most sources found or already in the article don't seem notable. Esw01407 (talk) 15:11, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as I've been watching the activity here also, nothing close at all to any independent notability. SwisterTwister talk 04:15, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
