The result was delete. Interviews are primary sources and therefore cannot count towards notability so that just leaves assertions for notability, which isn’t enough. Spartaz ^Humbug! 07:25, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Still WP:TOOSOON. No starring roles in major anime shows, only supporting characters. JA wikipedia only shows a credits list. Recommend deletion, unless someone really wants to work on it as a draft. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:18, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as does have a substantial number of supporting roles for a possible pass of criteria 3 of WP:NACTOR Atlantic306 (talk) 16:52, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What roles are considered unique, prolific or innovative? VADB only shows 14 roles [1]. That's not prolific at all, not like the ones who have had 500 roles. Also, there's no coverage on the actress in secondary sources, only cast announcements. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:01, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - Reiko Arisugawa from Shomin Sample is a main character in the series. I would look for things like interviews or such. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 17:12, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Here are two interviews: [2], [3].. will look more later. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 17:17, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete -- WP:TOOSOON. Interviews are not suitable for establishing notability, as they are not independent of the subject. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:58, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete lack of significant roles. The supporting roles come no where near meeting criteria 3.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:07, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep - I found this news report from Crunchyroll; it's not much, but it is something, I guess. The interviews above could be argued to count as significant coverage, as generally these kinds of interviews tend to be more about the person than specific roles. It also appears that she will be making a solo music debut next year; said debut has been covered by some Japanese sites such as this, this, and this, among other reports. There has also been some coverage about her acting career, such as hits like these: [4], this interview about a music unit she's a part of, and the opening of her official fanclub. Considering she's not exactly a popular VA, the coverage out there isn't that much, but it does appear to be enough to establish notability, if only by a rather slim margin.

Has she charted on Billboard or Oricon? Sometimes actors get a profile there although they don't have any released singles or albums that charted. If the news articles help, it can be written into the article. I just think it should be in draft until she lands those lead roles that would clearly place her in WP:ENT. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:22, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Answering my own question. She doesn't, at least not for solo singles or albums. [5] AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 00:37, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. More than enough notable roles to warrant inclusion. —Xezbeth (talk) 18:10, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What roles would those be, besides the one in Shomin Sample? AngusWOOF (bark * sniff) 16:59, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Seems she had an ANN-bolded role in Scorching Ping Pong Girls, though as I have not watched the series I can't tell if it's a main or a supporting role. Though from I could see online, it seems said role did get some coverage in Japanese sources. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 00:25, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like supporting but possibly billed in the website. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 00:37, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Would draft make sense? She'll probably keep getting supporting but billed roles, but without any development or writing into the article, this isn't helpful. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 00:37, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - covers criterias of WP:NACTOR..BabbaQ (talk) 18:12, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Again, how is she meeting that? One main role isn't going to cut it. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:49, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - note: I'm new here, I don't understand any Wikipedia policies YET at all, and maybe don't have the time to learn all of those policies, so please tell and teach me the right way if I'm wrong.

To be honest, as one of her fans and her twitter follower, I don't understand the point of deleting her page here; but I know for sure that she is an active seiyuu and got some songs and albums. All of her albums are listed as her The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls's character, Sae Kobayakawa.

Her role on the anime is not big as her character is only one of 183 idols of the series, but she contributes more on idol industry through The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls franchise and the mobile game version [The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls: Starlight Stage].

Here is one of her MASTER album (solo) that's listed on Columbia Music Entertainment site and the other albums that also includes her. Here are also her Discography list as Sae Kobayakawa.

She has been featured and interviewed on some Live Broadcasts by Animedia official program but you must watch it LIVE so here's one of the recorded Live Broadcast that I've found somewhere on Chinese site.

She even have a fan club and here's the article about her first fan meeting [6].

Plus here is a sneakpeek of her stage performance (caution: this one is an illegal upload) on THE IDOLM@STER CINDERELLA GIRLS 2nd LIVE PARTY M@GIC!! on 30 November 2014. --JohnLambert (talk) 18:40, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like her character CD has charted and reached #11 on Oricon. [7] AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 20:17, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
