One big unsourced ball of fandom listcruft. It has been tagged as badly sourced since 2010 and has gone through two AfDs in that time, without improvement. There is no useful value to this list (voice actors are commonplace and we have categories to list them). The detail in this list is excessive,

per AngusWOOF. It's cross-namespace, but R2 doesn't cover this type of redirect. While long lists like this can't be controlled as easy, the category can just as well work as additions on the articles in question would need to be sourced anyway.
562:. The scope of this list is far too broad and too general to be useful. Knowledge (XXG) has thousands of biographies of voice actors from different nationalities to be of any use and countless more of regular actors who performed voice roles. — 265:, you'll see a good chunk of them as redirecting to categories. Maintaining a list of "well, what were they in?" is not useful. You get guest voices on the Simpsons from all sorts of celebs, and they're suddenly classified as voice actors? 517:. List is too broad in scope to be useful, because there are simply too many people who have worked as voice actors, too many editors who think every voice actor who exists gets an automatic notability freebie regardless of their 95: 90: 197: 311: 236:, a persistent vandal today dumping another similar 3k block of unsourced, unverifiable BLP. Yet it's not actually any worse than what's here already. We can't polish this, so we should flush it. 431: 401: 150: 85: 529:

as to who is really a voice actor and who just had a bit voice-over role in whatever, the latter of which is pretty much everyone who's been an actor. If you skim through

I am neutral on a redirect here as I am unsure if it would be helpful or not. - 598: 577: 550: 509: 484: 453: 423: 393: 363: 333: 302: 284: 245: 68: 17: 212: 179: 447: 417: 387: 357: 327: 278: 573: 480: 229:
as there is negligible sourcing. It certainly has no value beyond listing the actor names, as a category would do better.
617: 40: 173: 169: 114: 594: 219: 257:. I know it's cross-categorization, but that's a good way to deal with thousands of entries, and can apply 298: 241: 613: 538: 463: 253: 53: 36: 106: 74: 541:
