Coverage is limited. A few major publications wrote about his podcast, but all around the same time when it first launched so it's basically all advertisements and not particularly substantial. His name also comes up in coverage of the end of Arthur because it was announced in an episode of the podcast, but none of the coverage is focused on him or the podcast. NACTOR asks for "significant roles in multiple notable [projects]" (emphasis mine), and it seems to me that he only has one. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 05:47, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I think he does meet WP:NACTOR - as well as his significant role in Arthur (TV series), he was in all 26 episodes of the 2 series of The Tofus, as Phil, the best friend and confidant of the main character, Chichi. That seems like a significant role to me. RebeccaGreen (talk) 13:12, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This would probably require a whole other discussion, and is certainly outside my area of expertise, but looking at The Tofus, I'm not entirely sure that series is notable, or at least not as far as its Wikipedia article shows. Among its sources, I see multiple primary sources and indexes/databases, but only two (KidScreen Magazine and C21Media) providing independent news coverage. Doesn't seem like enough to me.

• Keep: More than likely notable for the role of DW in "Arthur", with coverage here [1], [2], [3]. Oaktree b (talk) 02:03, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per WP:HEY. Bearian (talk) 12:42, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Which WP:HEY? Nothing has happened to the article since it was nominated. Geschichte (talk) 13:06, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - I actually never knew that DW was voiced by a male. I can hear the voice in my head still all these years later. Interesting. I believe the subject satisfies WP:NACTOR & agree with RebeccaGreen on the notability of the subject’s roles. Brickto (talk) 01:43, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
