BU Rob13 has nominated this page for deletion for the reason: Not notable. See en:Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mike Pollock for the deletion discussion at the English Wikipedia relating to this subject's article. The subject has canvassed on Twitter relating to that deletion discussion, so I wouldn't be surprised if the same happened here. BU Rob13 (talk) 22:28, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
Please discuss this request below, but keep in mind that you shouldn't vote on everything and that there may be options other than "keep" or "delete", such as merging.

- Delete and redirect to Doctor_Eggman#Voice_actor_portrayal, assuming that's possible, although that section is not yet extant. I'm Mike Pollock, and I approve this deletion. Itsamike (talk) 23:00, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
- Comment. While I have concerns when folks who don't normally edit here pop in and make deletion nominations, I'm not going to object to the nomination on that basis. I've reviewed the deletion discussion on EnWiki and have also confirmed to my own satisfaction that user:Itsamike is in fact the subject of the article. By themselves, these things are noteworthy, but would not normally form the basis for a decision on this request. The nomination suggests a lack of notability for the subject of the article. A review of Mike Pollock's body of work suggests the opposite is true. I realize the citations in the article are a bit thin, but it's difficult to imagine that additional citations cannot be found, given the extensive voice work done by Mike. Itsamike's suggestion that the article become a redirect may have some merit. The Doctor Eggman article may need some work, but much of the information could fit comfortably in a section about the voice portrayal of Doctor Eggman. This would be consistent with the result of the deletion discussion on EnWiki. Etamni | ✉ | ✓ 11:30, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
- Comment - looking at the article in its current state, the fact that Itsamike himself recommended redirecting the article carries rather significant weight. However, as what Etamni mentioned, are we really sure that there is no possibility of the existence of significant coverage in reliable sources? I will try digging around later to see what I can find. Chenzw Talk 04:33, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
