A contributor to the Dutch-language soundtracks for Japanese TV series. There's something delightfully obscure about this; but, well, he's obscure. The article has no independent sourcing. There's a link to an article on him in nl:Wikipedia, but that too has no independent sourcing. I googled and found Wikipedia scrapes, lists (sans commentary) of what he's appeared in, and not much more. His (very flash) website suggests that he's tried a variety of things, but the web doesn't seem to present much coverage of them. Hoary (talk) 02:28, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

- Delete Dante Basco actually played Zuko in the series, I do not see any notability here. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 22:28, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
- Knowledgekid87, I understand from the article on him that Dante Basco did the voice for Zuko in English (and that this is his major claim to fame). We're told that Sander van der Poel did the same for Dutch. I don't see why doing a job in one (Germanic) language is necessarily a greater or lesser achievement than doing it in another; if SvdP's achievements had been at all discussed, he might well merit an article, just as Dante Basco does. ¶ Oh, hang on a moment: the sole assertion in the article on Basco for which an independent source is provided is He attended Orange County High School of the Arts. Uhhh. ¶ Ah well, WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS. -- Hoary (talk) 00:29, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
- Comment - Dante's job is more notable because English is both the original language of the series and the language the series is most well known in. - Bensci54 (talk) 03:01, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

- Delete unless more can be found, I did find an unreliable source with an interesting interview with him in Dutch at [1], but I don't see coverage reaching WP:GNG yet. Additional sources welcome, as always. --j⚛e deckertalk 05:32, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
