If someone has only done literally only one or two voice jobs, then no, I wouldn't list them, cause in those cases those roles are outliers, but there's plenty of actors who do both VO and LA.
There's been a lot of activity on the Voice Actors index over the last few months. jessicadicicco610 has been quite active in particular. A few of the actors they've added, I've noticed, however, have only done a handful (i.e., one or two) voice jobs, and are not listed as voice actors on Wikipedia. A little while later, Khugol removed a large number of names, with the edit reason "Primarily Actors". A number of them, however, are listed as voice actors on Wikipedia, and from their filmography, they've done a fair amount of voice acting work.
Now, the page header mentions "This index page is meant for actors whose primary career is in voice work, or at least have an extensive history of voiceovers. Don't bother listing live-action actors who also happen to do a rare voiceover." Should there be more definite requirements (like a number or Wikipedia listing)?
BTW, I ended up re-adding a lot of the names Khugol deleted because they were listed on Wikipedia as voice actors, but if consensus on a new standard is set, I'll remove them again.
