Interviews are primary sources. To satisfy the notability requirement of WP:BASIC, in-depth coverage must be seen in WP:SECONDARY sources. Binksternet (talk) 05:47, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The nominator seems to quickly want this article deleted instead of letting other users find more sources on this actress and lacking patience. - FilmandTVFan28 (talk) 06:07, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I would be happy to see this biography improved to the point of it meeting Wikipedia's guidelines. Your 'keep' vote has no policy basis. Binksternet (talk) 15:57, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No rush seems to be done here; I agree with the nominator that BASIC hasn't been satisfied for what looks like a general voice actress. Nate • (chatter) 16:51, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete on the lack of significant coverage in independent secondary sources. To the nom, interviews are not always primary sources - a person being interviewed not only reiterating their past but contemplating it can be a secondary source. But it is not a independent source which is a requirement as well for notability, and that's not shown here. --MASEM (t) 18:33, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It says in the article clearly Star Wars: The Clone Wars (TV series) (2008-2014) – Padmé Amidala[1]. She played a major character on a notable show for six years. That and her other work seem to clearly pass WP:ENTERTAINER. Dream Focus 22:50, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, covered in reliable sources. I have added some to the article. Antrocent (♫♬) 08:46, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Of those added: About.com is not a reliable source (it's an SPS), the Variety article does not give "significant coverage" as required by WP:N, and while the interview is good, it again is an issue with independence of information (as I've described above). --MASEM (t) 17:56, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Wired magazine did a long interview with her. [1] And she is interviews for a television interview at [2]. But her notable roles make her pass WP:ENTERTAINER easily so that's all that matters. Dream Focus 21:06, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - Interviews are not sufficient sources as they are not independent (even if they are secondary). And I disagree that she meets the "multiple significant roles" that ENT #1 requires (ignoring the present discussion at WP:BIO about whether voice actors should be included in that.) Her resume only boost two standout roles, Amadla in the Clone Wars works, and FF12; the rest are a smattering of parts. --MASEM (t) 23:40, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      - There is no difference from someone writing about someone or interviewing them and writing about that. They are notable enough to get coverage. And how many standout roles do you think someone needs? Dream Focus 23:52, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Sources do not rise to WP:GNG, but do not need to, as we can verify she meets WP:ENTERTAINER --Rob (talk) 03:39, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Interviews may not be always reliable for some things, but they are worth something. As long as they are with an organization that chooses to interview people, instead of just interviewing everyone, the interview is worth noting. It is a lazy-mans way of writing an indepth article, but they are indepth. She clearly passes the multiple significant roles criteria.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:14, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep She is voicing Leia in Star Wars Detours after voicing Amidala on Star Wars: The Clone Wars for its six seasons, sources found that are independent of the interview. She is also the voice of main character Penelo in Final Fantasy XII. -AngusWOOF (talk) 02:09, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep per WP:ENTERTAINER. VMS Mosaic (talk) 04:53, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:HEY - there are now plenty of sources to show she passes the basic test of notability. Bearian (talk) 21:39, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Surprising improvements have been made to the article, with editors finding good sources that I could not. I'm the nominator but I'm changing my vote. Binksternet (talk) 23:34, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
