To paraphrase from the
declined version of the draft, this is a clear case of
WP:BOMBARD with no indication of
WP:GNG being met. 95% of the (massive number of) references do little more than verify that Briner voiced XYZ role, with the remainder being interviews or his own accounts. Recommending histmerging this back into the draft (because it was improperly cut/pasted) and allowing the creator another go.

If the draftification/histmerge occurs, I'm also recommending re-adding the previous decline notice for the record.

Comment to be fair, the 95% of the references used are mainly to source the filmography section which for voice actors is always going to be a large portion, even for highly notable voice actors like
Jennifer Hale or
Tom Kenny (see
Tom Kenny filmography). If you think it should be split off from his main article that can be arranged. I've attempted to replace the cast announcements (which are passing mentions) with reviews and critiques of his voice work, and have used that in the biography section, and also attempted to show significance of the roles presented, that they aren't just guest or minor roles but lead characters. The question also becomes whether voicing in a pile of "broadcast dubs" (dubs that are mainly streamed on a subscription network, as opposed to broadcast on cable / television) is considered notable works for
WP:ENT's "significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions." If the anime show hits Cartoon Network/Adult Swim or Fox/4Kids, or mainstream anime films, then it's not a big deal. His most notable works are
My Hero Academia (broadcast dub) which has had anime convention panels, and
Cibele (video game) which was covered in secondary sourced mainstream news. I'm still looking around for the exclusive news report on Briner though.

I concur with respect to the casting verification, but my main concern is that when you remove that, you're left with little more than interviews and his own websites.

Move to
WP:DRAFTS. I agree with the concern raised that there are too many sources pointing to his own websites. If someone is willing to work on the article then it might push it to meet the required guidelines/policy. -

I've already worked what I could into the article. It's more whether he's going to meet notability despite the effort.

Comment regardless of the outcome of this discussion, a histmerge will be necessary. Just pointing it out (again) so it's a bit more visible.
