The result was delete. As a note unrelated to the close, please note that the biography is a copyvio, as the text of the biographical information was present in IMDB as early as November 2005, according to the Wayback Machine. j⚛e deckertalk 05:22, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Notability not shown with any sources, let alone the WP:SECONDARY ones required by WP:BASIC. Binksternet (talk) 05:28, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: As the nom indicates there is nothing to suggest notability here and no sourcing. Then there is the troubling fact that Heather Hogan#Bio is a carbon copy of the mini-bio at IMDb [1] and that Heather Hogan#Filmography, aside from part of "Other notes", replicats the IMDb "Actress" filmography [2]. The likely copyvio of the bio is not good. I say "likely" since we don't know exatly when IMDb's section went up, but it's better to err on the side of caution that we didn't get there first. And yes, a filmography is going to look similar, but the near replication of the IMDb list in full and the copyvio makes more than a simple list suspect. - J Greb (talk) 15:45, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • KEEP Clearly passes WP:ENTERTAINER for having significant roles in notable things. Ducky is a main character in the Land Before Time films he did, plus other things stand out if you look at his bio. Dream Focus 02:36, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • You mean the section that is going to get turfed as COPYVIO? - J Greb (talk) 06:26, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • We're here to discuss the notability of the person for an article, not the article's content. I don't see it as a copyvio at all. The information was changed. You compile a list like this anywhere, listing the year, the series, and their roll in it, it'll look similar to other list. Dream Focus 06:50, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        • Points of clarification: 1) The "Bio" section is a direct lift from IMDb. It goes even if the filmography stays. 2) While the filmography, name, and profession of "Actress" can be supported from the show and film credits, nothing else has any supporting information aside from the text copied from IMDb. And that assuming IMDb is correct. 3) An AfD can look at the totality of an article, not just the points the nom raises. If there are additional content or policy issues, they get dealt with.

          Now, are there other sources for that information, or is it going to get pulled via BLP at the same time the copyvio gets yanked? If the non-list section goes, is the list of credits sufficient to meet all relevant Notability standards? At this point, without the issues other than Notability being fixed, the Article content amounts to:

            "Heather Hogan is a voice actress who took over the role of Ducky, one of the main characters in animated film franchise The Land Before Time,
            for the second, third, and fourth installments. She has also voiced secondary or minor characters in a few animated films and televisions series
            while concentrating on voice work in the video game industry."


          Which makes for a slim article at best, even with the full filmography. - J Greb (talk) 07:53, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
          • It would just be redone in a different way. The size of the article is not relevant anyway. The information is confirmed in the credits of the things she has been part of. She also list things on her official website [3] Dream Focus 10:41, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note, if the list was a direct copy it'd have the same information. Here she is listed as being in Lunar: Silver Star Harmony in 2010, but no mention of that there. Instead IMDb list her doing Lunar: Silver Star Story Touch in 2012. Her website resume doesn't list either of these, she not considering it notable enough to mention at all apparently. That and other differences convince me it is not a copy violation. Also I checked the history, and the list as it is now was added over time starting in February of 2006 [4] and just bits and pieces added over time. Dream Focus 10:54, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
