Talk:Atsuko Tanaka (voice actress)

D.O.B. ?

In the first line she has 2 date of births listed. Which one is the correct one? \(^o^)/ 19:05, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

This looks like it was fixed. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:06, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Confusion

There are at least 3 "notable" persons by this name, and we have the birthdays of two of them. I would hope the original creator of this page will get to work to disambiguate and improve, or remove the page. docboat 14:03, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

• Searching the edits, I see User:Samantha Lim88 had made an edit conflating two persons. I have reverted to the last "good" edit. docboat 14:10, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

• Atsuko Tanaka (voice actress) → Atsuko Tanaka
• Atsuko Tanaka → Atsuko Tanaka (disambiguation)

– A seiyuu with nearly 30-years a career is probably the primary topic. Either her or Atsuko Tanaka (artist). ミラP 16:48, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

However, the artist and the animator also have lengthy careers. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 01:40, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

A more clear study of this is needed. —BarrelProof (talk) 01:47, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

INTERVIEWER: And that's when you discovered voice acting.]
  • ALT5: ... that voice actress Atsuko Tanaka originally worked as an office lady in Tokyo?

What was your family's reaction when you announced that you were going to quit your office job to become a voice actress? He was strongly against it ... In 1993, when I was 30 years old, I was chosen to play the heroine in the film "Lupin III: Orders to Assassinate Lupin." This was broadcast on television, so my parents also watched it.
  • Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Ban Hyo-jin
  • Comment: Expanded from 1126 (18 August) to 6336 (23 August, when almost all the expansion took place). There is an ITN nom (albeit improved a little too late; the section hadn't been updated in days when it was added), but it's recent deaths so should be fine.

5x expanded by Miraclepine (talk). Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 52 past nominations.

• Article has been tagged "Primary sources" since August - since we're now at the end of September, I don't think it's likely to be fixed.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:16, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

• Changed to the "?no" template, as I see that talk page discussion is ongoing. Hopefully this gets resolved soon.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:19, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

• @Crisco 1492: Yes, I told the editor who added the tag that I should have the issue resolved and asked them if I can remove it per WP:BRD. ミラP@Miraclepine 23:30, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

• Alrighty. I've got this nomination watchlisted, so I'll come back in a couple days and see how things are going (personally, I've always believed that interviews published in reliable sources are still fact checked, and even self-published primary sources are accepted for non-controversial things, but...) — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:41, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

• Upon checking, LeónGonsalvesofGoa (whom I'm informing of this DYK) hasn't edited in the past five days. Should I give them a few (maybe three) days before I let someone else decide on the tag or would it be more practical to skip straight to the latter? I'm leaning the latter because I want this done quickly, but I feel the former is more courteous since I asked them anyway (earlier today I might add). ミラP@Miraclepine 03:10, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

• Okay, LeónGonsalvesofGoa has finally removed the tag per their talk page reply, so it's safe to say we're making great progress. ミラP@Miraclepine 03:30, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article is new enough, 5x expansion on August 22nd. Appeared in ITN, but as an RD, which per WP:DYKNEW does not disqualify the article. Earwig's does not check for plagiarism in foreign-language sources, but based on Google Translate, I don't see any paraphrasing / copyright issues. I prefer the panda hooks (and note that the source indicates that she was identified by the host, which is hilarious).  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 09:57, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

Notability?

The majority of this article references interview material. Are there any significant references to justify its notability? LeónGonsalvesofGoa (talk) 03:14, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
