Comment: Okay hi! I'm not sure if I'm doing this right. In the spirit of Wikipedia:Introduction_to_deletion_process|'don't be afraid to participate' I'll jump in here with more of my reasoning. Dubbing_(filmmaking)#ADR/post-sync|ADR direction may be more like theatrical/performance direction than animated film direction, but it certainly falls under the purview of directing and what a director does, and the subject is being attributed with such, for significant animated film titles, by multiple sources. So these deletion votes read to me like a strange bias or misunderstanding. The subject is also attributed by multiple sources as being a director of theatre, with some reviews already included in the article of subject's directorial ability (not just cursory mentions of subject, as suggested by initial reviewer).  Related to that I would say that reviewing a director's work is in and of itself discussion of a director. In any case there is a distinction between ''fame'' and ''notability'', and I believe according to  (there is significant coverage, reliable integrity, plenty of sources) and  (I would argue subject is regarded as important as a creative professional, just in a smaller sphere) the subject meets the criteria to at least not be deleted --  the article can be improved upon with additional sourcing, admittedly, so I'd like to advocate for keeping the article with a note to improve verification of sources (or some equivalent). Far less supported wikis (including ref'd wikis like John Lavachielli) are currently live and accepted. I think we need to do better than saying 'they're not notable'  -- well, okay, but according to what criteria? Because I've done the work sourcing the existence and merit of the subject and just saying 'it isn't so' seems fallacious, and also prevents me as the creator from crafting better work for Wiki because it's a non-starter kind of comment. I strongly suspect the subject's work will grow and a wiki article is inevitable in any case, though that's neither here nor there. Thank you for your consideration
