[edit] Dave Pettitt

This is borderline, but I would say vanity and non notable. Dave posted this himself, which is ok I guess except that do we include every voice actor? He doesn't seem particularly notable from what I found on the google search. Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 07:44, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. He seems like somebody that people might want to find information about if they're interested. I'm sure he must show up in the credits for these shows - that must at least mean something. And I've heard of most of these shows. I think voice actors probably do not return big hits on google in the first place unless they do something other than voice acting that they are notable for. So I don't think hits on google is reliable in this case. -- Rediahs 07:51, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. Hmmmm. Notability is an issue with voice actors or anyone else. We don't include all actors. We're not a directory. Here is his imdb page. Borderline but I still say not notable enough. --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 08:01, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
• I suppose I better fess up... It was I who created the original redlink, based on the idea that while some characters in Zoids: Chaotic Century had voice actors with articles, others didn't. I thought it would be best to create wikilinks for all. In the article's defense, Pettitt has worked on the English dubs for parts of the Gundam and Dragon Ball anime series, arguably two of the biggest anime franchises dubbed into the Western world. I'm going to vote keep on this one. -- Saberwyn - The Zoids Expansion Project 11:26, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep -- A 20 year career as a voice actor for television shows is somewhat notable. - Longhair 21:39, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and throw a verification flag over the article. Voice artists in notable animation are notable enough for me. Durova 22:50, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
