The result was redirect to Frontier Enterprises. The article is unsourced, which precludes keeping per WP:V. The redirect is an alternative that takes into account that there is no consensus for deletion. Sandstein 12:46, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

William Ross (actor)

Working actor, but does not meet WP:NACTOR, and I can't find enough in-depth coverage from independent, reliable secondary sources to show he meets WP:GNG, and the article currently doesn't have close to enough to show he meets that. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 23:18, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep a properly targeted search of Google Books shows he did in fact have major roles as an actor, voice actor and dubber. And there is coverage of him and his rokes although not all of it is available readily online. FloridaArmy (talk) 23:31, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per nom. A jobbing actor, but this isn't IMDb. How does he meet WP:NACTOR? The list of works on his page are minimal, the awards and/or peer recognition he has received are non-existent. Darthamender (talk) 15:20, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Comment the article is still not sourced. Even though the subject's notability should be verifiable (no need to be "verified"), adding some good references would not do any harm. Gianvito Scaringi (talk) 19:05, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I added the IMDb-ID and some films as actor. -- MovieFex (talk) 09:43, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete but draft. There is a good write-up of him in "Japan's Favorite Mon-star: The Unauthorized Biography of "The Big G"", page 152, but I found almost nothing else to source. I think this article at some point could have enough sources to justify, but I'd like to see it put in draft for now. Esw01407 (talk) 16:54, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Frontier Enterprises as his primary contribution to anime and film production. The biography relies heavily on the book source Japan's Favorite Mon-star: The Unauthorized Biography of "The Big G" by von Steve Ryfle, and while it has details on Ross' life, it is mainly in the context of Frontier Enterprises. Alternatively Frontier Enterprises could be merged into his biography. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:36, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
