Keep Richard Aldana is the main character in Lastman. Shigure Ninomiya is listed as a main character in Mikagura School Suite. Pete Armstrong in Murder Princess may be a notable character as well, not entirely certain. WP:ENTERTAINER is thus passed. "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions." Dream Focus 17:52, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

These are again minor productions that go to direct-to-video / streaming status when it comes to English dubs. If the person was the Japanese voice actor then it would be notable. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 13:16, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see that as a rule anywhere. Sounds like total nonsense you just made up. These aren't just random people chosen for dubs, these are professional voice actors. And whether something is made for television or internet broadcast is not relevant. Millions of people use Crunchroll to watch anime on. Dream Focus 14:17, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Crunchyroll plays English subtitled not dub anime for the titles above mentioned. The dub ones are only on some of the more popular titles, of which the titles pertaining to Ben Phillips are not. Show me again which news articles feature Ben with significant coverage, even critiques on his work in those titles would help. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:33, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Mikagura School Suite reads: "The series is licensed in North America by Funimation, who simulcast the subtitled version as it aired and began streaming a broadcast dub version from June 9, 2015.[20][21]" Funimation's website list it as "Available Languages: English and Japanese". Murder Princess is also listed as being available in both languages. Dream Focus 10:02, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
