Are they just voices? If so, then you should have their VA. If not, then don't.

Memes are a halfway decent way to mask the pain.

Yeah, I'm confused. Did they show up or not?

If they haven't actually been portrayed by the actor, it's incorrect to list who would've hypothetically played them.

No, they don't appear at all, which is why I find his reasoning totally confusing. The only real argument is that they are being described as looking exactly like other characters (who do appear).

So they don't appear, yet you know what they look like? Are they just mentioned in passing as looking identical to the characters? If so, they don't need credits. It's like Schrodinger's Actor.

It makes absolutely no sense to list actors for characters who are not in a work. I mean... seriously? That smacks of headcanon intruding into the articles. If they keep it up, we'll have to suspend them.

Removed it and told that he should contest it here if he wishes to.
