Only EF is considered to be notable among the three, given that it has received a dub. Most anime adaptions of visual novels are considered to be not notable. Also, regarding those books, who can actually verify how much the subject is covered in them? Until that has been clarified, due to the subject lacking enough significant roles, and that the JP article being almost a credits dump (the Eng article on the other hand is nothing more than just a credits dump), these concerns all lay the grounds for deletion. --

Receiving a dub (in English or any other language) has nothing to do with notability. For how much the subject is covered in the magazines, the site I listed indicates the number of pages in each magazine that are about Junko Okada. The ones that are less than a page may not be significant coverage, but the ones with 2+ pages just related to her are much more likely to be significant coverage.

On the contrary, it is not uncommon to note a work's localization to the west as an assertion of its notability. AFD participants do use it as an argument. Do bear in mind that English is the international language, so localized Japanese media that are imported into the US with an English language dub produced will further increase its notability. Also take note on how Angus dismisses anime adaptions of visual novels as non-notable in
this AFD. --

Each VA should be treated independent of the others. I'm merely saying that the visual novels should be notable, have a decent presence on Wikipedia. It doesn't help if the VA has acted in a bunch of minor direct-to-videos or dime-a-dozen visual novels. If she's getting coverage in Japanese magazines, that's going to help her notability.

Right, but has the article specified WHICH role the subject is playing? If it's merely a bit role, then it's not an assertion of notability. --

CommentKeep I wouldn't count Sentimental Journey (anime) as starring as each of the heroines in that series only appears in one episode as a narrator/star, and then that's about it. The video game may be different though.

About half the magazine articles on the page I linked to are coverage in relation to Sentimental Graffiti, and Hitoshi Doi's page also lists a radio show related to it. In terms of the amount of attention the role generated, it actually seems like her most significant role. I do think that is more in relation to the game than the anime, since as you point out, each of the main characters is only featured for one episode in the anime.

But even then, that's just two significant roles. Since when is Wind: A Breath of Heart considered to be notable? I honestly don't think that a voice actor that has only garnered two main roles is enough to warrant her own independent article. --

Given her sourced involvement in the promotions for the Sentimental Graffiti franchise and the lead roles mentions above that's enough to meet
WP:ENT. Changing vote to keep.
