Solid article on good, mostly Japanese sources, accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I did some copy-editing, - revert what you don't like. Please mention the term dōjin in the body with a source, for us ignorants who never heard it before. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:19, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
- The term "dōjin" is a bit difficult to source since it tends to be used as a description and is assumed (with no source needed) for these kind of cases in Japan. If the term "dōjin" is too niche or otherwise can't be used, I'm willing to replace it with the word "self-published" since that's the closest equivalent term in English.

- If it is not more exotic than "self-published" I'm afraid it wouldn't interest me much. Any other hook suggestion? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:52, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
- I also thought of the following, but maybe the names mentioned might be too niche for most audiences?
- ALT1 ... that voice actress and singer Iori Saeki's interest in anime was inspired by her watching the series Neon Genesis Evangelion as a child?
- ALT2 ... that Iori Saeki's decision to pursue both singing and voice acting careers were inspired by her learning about Nana Mizuki's success in both fields?
- I can still try finding sources for "dōjin" if you'd like (I did find a source that mentions "dōjin" in an article on her), or I could just drop the word altogether from the hook and say that she'd been active as a singer for years before staring acting. Her Japanese Wikipedia article also uses the word "dōjin" (同人) throughout the article, for what it's worth. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 09:21, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
- I confess that what inspired her seems even less interesting. The singing vs. acting thing looks more promising. Anything that she does differently than any other? You can of course keep the Japanese term in the article, but it would help if you'd shortly explain there, to spare readers the click. If used in the hook - big difference - it needs a ref. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:13, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for the advice. I'll see if I can address the issues tomorrow. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 10:38, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
- I found a source that explicitly mentions "dojin" (同人) and have added it to the article. Would the wording below also work for you?

... that prior to debuting as a voice actress in 2018, Iori Saeki had been active as a dōjin (self-published) musician for several years? - ALT0b... that prior to debuting as a voice actress in 2018, Iori Saeki had been self-publishing songs as a dōjin musician for several years?

yes, better. For me personally, completely uninteresting but I have great respect for an author's wishes. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:42, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
