Talk:List of cartoon voice actors

Wait, I'm confused. There was a proposal back in 2010 that said the voice actors would get their own pages. So why exactly do we have this page? GreenDisaster 17:11, 6 March 2012 (EST)

It is a list. There are some links to the actors pages but some don't have links because they are minor and if we created pages for them they would be stubs.YoshiGo99

One, there was a proposal that agreed not to make an article like this. Two, short article does not equal stub. GreenDisaster 20:52, 6 March 2012 (EST)

He's right if a proposal said make these articles than we need to make these articles Raven Effect (talk)

The point of this article?

Wouldn't it be just better if the voice actors were listed in the respective credits section of the cartoons rather than having this awkward standalone list? I'm surprised this list even exists. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 16:34, 6 October 2015 (EDT)

This article seems to have arose from a misunderstanding, but even if it was agreed to be created on, this article is poor quality, pointless, and inconsistent, since we don't have any related lists such as "list of live-action actors" or anything like that. Useful information in this article can be salvaged in the respective credits articles or in short, individual articles (if information is sufficient, of course). This will not create stubs, as stubs are articles with insufficient information. But overall, I think we should delete this page.

1. Andymii (talk) I'm flexible about this, so feel free to try to convince me to change my opinion. However, as of now I think that the argument that "useful information in this article can be salvaged in the respective credits articles or in short, individual articles" doesn't hold much water. All lists have information have can be found in specific articles, including one of the wiki's most important pages, list of characters. I mean, that's the point of a list. Okay, technically one could go to Mario's page directed to see who voice acted him, but lists were never meant to be an information hub; rather, they are meant to be a junction. Say you want to know who voiced all Koopalings, but you don't want to look at each Koopaling page individually. Such a list would be super useful, and provide a direct junction to whatever voice actor you happen to be interested in, all in about 30 seconds. Without the list? Probably ten minutes. You may argue that this is an unlikely occurrence, but that is really what lists are for in the first place, if you think about it. Additionally, though the list may be in poor repair, as I have argued in the past, that means fix the article, not outright delete it. In conclusion, I think such lists can serve as a great timesaver if the time calls for it. And for the quality? 'Shroom Spotlight.
