I was asked on my talk page to elaborate on why this was a keep. There are several reasons: First, the raw vote was more than 2:1 in favor of keeping, but numbers do not rule. Second, the trend in !voting was in favor of keeping, again numbers do not rule. But if you are going to go against a 2:1 majority, you need to be especially certain as to your rationale and be able to fully explain why the numbers do not matter. In this case, I wasn't willing to do so because I agree with the majority as their arguements were, IMO, more compelling.
There is nothing that says that we cannot have both a list and a category. There was some discussion as to renaming the category, which might be appropriate, but did not, IMO, have consensus to do so. The article clearly needs sources, but even with the new BLPProd category, being an unreferenced BLP is not grounds for deleting older BLPs. Being a large list, which is going to grow and grow is also not grounds for deletion. We have numerous lists that are larger. Heck, we have some lists that are broken down by starting letter of the alphabet. The reality of the situation is that voice actors are a recognized field within the film industry. In the end, I found the arguments to delete to simply focus around the notion that it was too long and likely to grow even longer. The arguments to keep were focused around the benefits such a list might provide.---BalloonmanNO! I'm Spartacus!16:05, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
