Not my area of expertise by any means, but does not appear to be notable. A brief search did not return any coverage worthy of meeting WP:NACTOR. Cheerio, Mattdaviesfsic. Talk to me. 20:52, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

- I always find it very hard to establish the notability of voice actors. The article in Japanese includes many other credits but since it is her best-known work, I would like to suggest a redirect to Princess_Zelda#Portrayal, where she is mentioned. Wikipedia:ATD-R is the relevant policy to explain my suggestion. ~2026-35976-24 (talk) 21:36, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: did you search for her Japanese name? I can see some Google results for her name, plus there are some citations in her Japanese article: https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/橘ひかり I don't speak Japanese, so I cannot comment on the quality of any of these results or sources. But for WP:BEFORE, were you able to evaluate these? — Chao Garden 🌱 ~ say hello 02:04, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
- Redirect to Princess Zelda#Portrayal as a ATD. The JA article does not have good sources. Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 12:11, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
- Redirect to Princess Zelda#Portrayal per Miminity and TA. The jawiki article's sources are 1) an encyclopedia on voice actors, 2) her agency profile, 3) and 4) profiles on other websites, 5) a CD recording of her interview, and 6) an official companion magazine for a PlayStation 1 dating simulator; none of these appear to be independent/secondary SIGCOV. Couldn't find any significant news coverage on her online either. There are other people of the same name (both real and fictional) which makes searching for sources harder.

- Redirect To Princess Zelda#Portrayal The subject lacks WP:SIGCOV significant independent coverage to meet WP:BIO. Staticspector (talk) 17:17, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
