I've declined a speedy deletion request on this—voicing the titular character in a major TV series is obviously a credible claim of significance—but sourcing this meagre is clearly not appropriate in a BLP. ‑ Iridescent 17:50, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

- Comment: She is apparently a BAFTA-nominated individual and has written a book [1]. That source doesn't help notability, but at least confirms these facts. The BAFTA nomination would suggest notability, but I don't have enough coverage found to !vote at this point. Oaktree b (talk) 17:57, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
- She's voiced named characters in notable productions, but I can't find much out there as far as sourcing goes. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 19:15, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

- Comment She was nominated for a British Academy Children's Award in the Performer category in 2019 for her role in Horrid Henry [2], and has also voiced named characters in the two other series mentioned in the article, plus 20 of 35 episodes of The Sandman (podcast) and all episodes of Tinpo (as well as named characters in other series that don't have WP articles like an animated version of Isadora Moon, 50 episodes of Mush-Mush and the Mushables and 35 episodes of Marcus Level. That would see her meet WP:NACTOR, but I have so far found very little independent sourcing, even to confirm her roles. I'll see if I can find more. RebeccaGreen (talk) 16:30, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Eagerly awaiting the results of research. Appears to be notable based on the above discussion. Bearian (talk) 02:49, 27 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep She meets WP:NACTOR#1, with significant roles in multiple notable TV shows. I have added reliable sources (per WP:RSP) to verify her roles, and the BAFTA website verifies that she was nominated for Best Performer in 2019. RebeccaGreen (talk) 13:53, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep as I agree with RebeccaGreen that the subject meets notability for WP:NACTOR#1 and interestingly most of the independent WP:RS coverage is for her 2023 book "How To Talk So People Will Listen" which also discusses her voice acting roles. Nnev66 (talk) 16:27, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:HEY thanks to RebeccaGreen; the article now has sources verifying she was nominated for the British Academy Children's Awards for the popular Horrid Henry TV series. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 08:35, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep: Upon review of sources and arguments, it seems clear that she passes WP:NACTOR#1 for her role as the voice of the lead character of a long-running and notable television show. I see no reason to treat voice actors as different from any other kind of actor. The last discussion was flawed in not addressing WP:NACTOR; most of the objections appeared to be lack of any sourcing the article and not whether sources existed or whether an SNG applied. Regardless, that deletion discussion is now nearly a decade old and should not hold as much weight when reviewing the article anew as it would if the deletion discussion had happened a year ago.
