Checklist

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

---

This article is very well-done, but there are a few things you should sort out.

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   Just want to inform you that song names do not need Japanese names or English translations. The rest follows the guidelines perfectly!

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):

   I couldn't get into citations 56, 57, 58, 84, 95, or 100 (can be found in the references section), so I couldn't confirm them. I didn't see Sora's name in citation 109. Check if you could access them. Also, the rest are perfectly fine.

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   You *might* need to make a Discography article for Sora. This article is more than 62 kB, so this article is probably difficult to load for some people on older browsers or dial-up connections.

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have non-free use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   I'm pretty sure you can find a non-copyrighted picture of her, but be cautious.

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   This article is actually quite promising, but it does need quite a bit of improvement. It's great, and keep up the good work!

@Bluesunnyfox: While I did not nominate the article, I did help the nominator out with sourcing. Regarding the sourcing issues, refs 56, 57, 58, 84, 95, and 100 not being accessible is probably something that can (and should) be fixed with archive urls. Source 109 also does mention Amamiya when it states "次回は雨宮天さん演じる「ベルナージュ」が、美空の口を借りてついに火星滅亡の真相を語る！？来週も絶対にお見逃しにならないでくださいね！" at the end. Regarding the images, I did a search and could not find one. If you can find a creative commons image, please share. I have nothing to say regarding the discography though since I did no work on that section. Link20XX (talk) 02:37, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

That was very helpful, thank you! blueskies (talk) 18:21, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

@Bluesunnyfox: I added archive urls for refs 56, 57, 58, and 100 since their links were dead. Regarding sources 84 and 95, their links seem to be working just fine (at least for me). For concerns regarding the size of the discography, I am pinging the original nominator Narutolovehinata5 for their input. Link20XX (talk) 05:07, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

• Thank you for the review! I did not add the Discography section to the article so I don't really have an opinion on if it should be split or not (for what it's worth, her discography doesn't seem too long for me). As for the free image thing, as much as I'd really love there to be an image of her in the article, getting free images of Japanese voice actors (and really Japanese media personalities in general) is hard. Agencies and other companies tend to protect the public image of their talents so much that they often prohibit photography at any events these talents appear in, even professional third-party ones. There's a reason why most of our articles on Japanese voice actors do not have a free image included. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 06:10, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
• I've just added a short "Musical style and influences" section to the article. Right now it only discusses one of her singles, but if you think that it can be expanded further I'm willing to do that as well. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 08:14, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

  So far, the section seems really interesting. You really did a lot of work on this. blueskies (talk) 13:56, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

• @Bluesunnyfox: Thank you for the comments. Is there anything else that needs to be done with the article? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 01:43, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I may use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)}

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

Prose

Lede

• She is affiliated with Music Ray'n - might need to explain what this is Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 09:59, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
• Her notable roles - never comment on notability. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 09:59, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
• Musical style and influences doesn't seem to be mentioned in the lede at all. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 09:59, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
• Best New Actress is used in body and lede - template says Rookie. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 09:59, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

@Lee Vilenski: All of the above have been addressed. I'm not sure how to best word the summary of the musical style section in the lede considering it only discussed one single, so I tried to make it as general as possible. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:31, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

General

• was born in Tokyo - probably worth saying Japan on first usage. No need for a link. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:10, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
• Considering the sheer amount of roles she did, was there no critical response about her? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:10, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
• rest seems fine, although I do note a lot of tweets being cited. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:10, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

@Lee Vilenski: All of the above have been addressed. As for the use of Twitter links, all of them are official Twitter accounts and so could be permitted under WP:ABOUTSELF. As for critical reception: as far as I'm aware, there are no reviews specifically about her voice acting whether in Japanese or English, and in fact I don't think voice acting reviews are that common when it comes to anime in the first place.

Review meta comments

• I'll begin the review as soon as I can! If you fancy returning the favour, I have a list of nominations for review at WP:GAN and WP:FAC, respectively. I'd be very grateful if you were to complete one of these if you get time. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 08:53, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

• ... that the lettering and microphone seen on the cover for Sora Amamiya's single "Freesia" were meant to be reminiscent of retro 7-inch records? Source: [1] ("たしかにジャケットの「フリイジア」の文字もレトロな、レコードの7インチシングルを思わせるような。" onwards) (note that the source says "jacket" but I think "cover" is a better word in this context)
  • ALT1: ... that Japanese voice actress and singer Sora Amamiya's song "Jōnetsu no Te Amo" was heavily influenced by Latin music, including the use of a Spanish guitar? Source: [2]
  • ALT2: ... that voice actress and singer Sora Amamiya tends to release solo singles in odd-numbered years? Source: [3] ("今まで2017年と2019年の奇数年に歌謡シングルを出させていただいて、2021年にも歌謡シングルを出したいと思っていてリリースすることが決まった1枚なので、そこは「フリイジア」のイメージも出しつつ、ファンの皆さんにも歌謡シングルだというのが伝わるものにしたくて。このヴィンテージ感のあるマイクも作っていただいたんです。")

  • Comment: Note that at the time of this nomination the article hasn't received its GA icon or passed GA banner; however, its GA nomination has already passed. ALT3 is my least preferred hook due to its nicheness, but I'm leaving it here as a back-up option. Additional hook suggestions are welcome.

Improved to Good Article status by Narutolovehinata5 (talk), Xezbeth (talk), Aerkdude (talk), BasedAtlas (talk), Only1greenyoshi (talk), Harushiga (talk), and Link20XX (talk). Nominated by Narutolovehinata5 (talk) at 13:17, 9 May 2022 (UTC).

• Article was nominated within 7 days of becoming a Good Article. Prose is at least 1,500 characters. Text is neutral and properly sourced. Earwig reports a violation of 79.1% (highly likely) but the website it allegedly matches is a content aggregator and seems to have lifted content from Wikipedia. QPQ is done. For me, I prefer ALT1, but the original ALT is fine. This is also just a suggestion (which I may edit later myself) but the live-action and tokusatsu sections should be combined, as tokusatsu is just a genre for live-action media. lullabying (talk) 05:18, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
  • Just popping in to make another comment: I'm not sure if this affects DYK eligibility but I notice the article doesn't follow MOS:JAPAN#Titles of media, particularly when it comes to titles that are capitalized for stylistic purposes (such as Amamiya's albums). It's best to get that corrected ASAP. lullabying (talk) 20:58, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

I don't think it affects eligibility but it could be worth keeping in mind when improving the article further. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:00, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
