Keep. An actual actor who acts in notable films, so whether he's been in notable cartoons is rather besides the point. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 23:02, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, except I didn't nominate the subject for his lack of work in cartoons/anime. It's based on the lack of significant roles. Also, having one article mention the subject does not equate to notability. That article was pretty much an overview of the movie, rather than the subject. Also, Household X is not notable. Where did you even get the idea that it is? You clearly lack an understanding of WP:NACTOR. --Sk8erPrince (talk) 00:53, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not every actor can be a scalp for your userpage. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 01:05, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your opinion on my userpage is irrelevant to the nom. Focus, or cease to participate. If you don't have any witty counterarguments to fire at me, then don't say a single word. --Sk8erPrince (talk) 01:20, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you think a film screened in the Berlin Film Festival Forum is not notable, there really isn't anything very much I can say. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 01:23, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If "significant" sources like those are so easily found, then I really do wonder why those that are interested in the subject did not bother to integrate them in the article. Or for that matter, the article creator... why didn't they bother to write a more sizable article in the first place? It's always when an article is nommed that people bother to look for sources. Disappointing, really. --Sk8erPrince (talk) 01:43, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is disappointing, especially with the onus created by WP:BEFORE. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 08:51, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Andreas, the Berlin International Film Festival is a major deal. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 01:26, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Andreas. --Adam in MO Talk 02:29, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep stars in a number of live-action films and some anime too. Household X (star billing), Hana and Alice (both live-action and the anime), Gantz: O (anime film, main char), Kyofu (star billing). AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 03:28, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I didn't find anything myself as most of the roles seemed to be minor characters however Andreas and Angus have clearly had better luck. Clearly notable.SephyTheThird (talk) 11:25, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per well laid-out and defended rationales of Andreas Philopater--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 17:09, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep He has, in addition to this crow blood thing role, an important role in a live action movie with its own well-written article (Hana and Alice), and, taken together with the notable role mentioned in the nomination itself, that makes two notable roles. Two counts as multiple, passing the actor restriction. Plus, the role in the Berlin thing seems to be important.--Yellow Diamond's Pearl (talk) 21:12, 15 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
