Bulbapedia talk:Project VA

First order of business

Any participants joining in, could you help me add the {{Template:Project VA notice}} to the bottom of ALL the voice actor pages? Thanks! --ケンジのガール 02:06, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Which ones are notable?

I know it's been discussed before, but which VAs are notable and which aren't? If they had more than one role? If they played one of the main characters? --electAbuzzzz 09:40, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

You know, I was actually just going to bring this up?

As I've stated elsewhere, I don't think we need anywhere near the amount of international VA pages that we have. I can see somebody like Rodrigo Andreatto or Gilmara Sanches keeping their articles, as they have many roles that don't include solely Pokémon. However, when you get into people like José Parisi Jr., you begin to have problems. It's not just the international VAs, either. Ones like Phillip Bartlett (sorry about that), Kelly Davis and Diane Stillwell I fail to see the notability of. Especially considering Stillwell hasn't, to our knowledge, done additional voices. She played one role in one special and was replaced.

When I create a VA article, here are the criteria I try to use; 1) Did they voice more than one character in the anime? 2) Have they voiced characters in other series? 3) Is there reason to believe that they will be back? I also have two optional pieces I consider: 4) Is a photo of them available? and 5) Do they have a website or external link? Not sure if we should adopt this policy on creating articles or not, but that's how I do it. --PAK Man ^Talk 13:58, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

New Member

I would like to join. I keep in contact with both Sarah Natochenny and Emily Jenness and talk to them frequently. I have talked with a few others as well. ----HoennMaster 18:27, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Could I possibly join too? I would happily fix up all the pages and look over them to make sure of no error. Thanks! –MasterKenobi 03:55, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

To join, just put your name on the list of members. --ケンジのガール 04:40, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Notable

So what are we qualifying as notable? More then one appearance?

----HoennMaster 03:02, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Basically. Or at least one important appearance. This would strictly apply to the Japanese VAs since there are literally hundreds. --ケンジのガール 03:09, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Navigation templates

OK, so I just had this new idea that could be very nice, and increase the traffic to VA articles: navigation templates that link them to each other. There are two ways I can think of that we can do this: the first is by languages (as in, "Voice actors in the Czech dub of the Pokémon anime", "Voice actors in the Norwegian dub of the Pokémon anime"), the other by characters (as in, "Voice actors who dub Ash Ketchum", "Voice actors who dub Misty"). I think if we do this, though, we need to pick only one of the two. What do you think? --electAbuzzzz 10:34, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

I like the idea of splitting the International voice actors into separate groups. I'm not so sure about Voice actors who dub Ash though. It's kinda already listed on the characters page. --ケンジのガール 04:15, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

VA info

Okay. I'm surprised no one ever thought to update this. If anyone comes across an article that claims they work for PUSA, change it to TPCi. The company name changed, as most of you are aware. -- Vhayes1992 19:46, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
