Seems a rather arbitary topic to base a list off of, with a completely arbitrary set of rules for what qualifies someone as a "Funimation voice actor." Have seen no evidence that such people are ever referred to in the press and wider world as "Funimation voice actors."

Delete (copied from my comments on the related CFD) Funimation does not have an in-house voice acting staff. Practically all of the voice actors are contractors, as with others in the voice acting community. In Japan, the voice actors can be categorized by their talent agency but they are not categorized with certain production companies. On the flip side, producers and staff could be grouped with their production companies. Voice directors and writers are a gray area as it's not clear whether they are full-fledged employees or contractors by project. This also raised a lot of problems with actors that were not based in Funimation creeping onto the list because of their mere association on less than a handful of licensed or acquired shows, even though their dub recording company was not Funimation. A lot of those actors would not qualify per
WP:CATDEF which says it should be a defining characteristic of the subject.

Delete Arbitrary grouping of voice actors and having worked for Funimation is not a defining feature. Not to mention the inclusion criteria is
original research. AngusWOOF sums it up really well.

Requesting to keep without citing a valid reason is not helpful for the consensus

Delete: We already have a category of this, and I have given my thoughts on that article there. Having it twice is redundant. Before we delete it however, we should probably make articles for some of the actors that meet our criteria, such as Joel McDonald, Jessica Cavanagh, Ed Blaylock, Elizabeth Maxwell, and Ricco Fajardo.
