I swear, this is not a campaign against Invader Zim voice actors...

The sources in the article are abhorrent: an interview (therefore a primary source), a few YouTube videos (which themselves are just narrated listicles and a recording of a convention panel), two podcast interviews (therefore primary sources), a listicle from TheGamer, Simons' own books, and Behind the Voice Actors. Of these, only BTVA is a reliable source, but as WP:BTVA states, Editors agree that its coverage is routine and does not contribute to notability. Not a single one of these is SIGCOV, and several do not even seem to be reliable sources in the first place.

  • Newspapers.com for "Rosearik Rikki Simons":
    • "Comic Relief": Name-drops Simmons as colorist on I Feel Sick. (A reprint of this article was also the only result for his name on JSTOR.)
    • "Week in Review": Name-drops Simmons as guest of honor at a local con in Missoula.
  • Newspapers.com for "Rikki Simons":
    • "Kawaii Kon Talk": Name-drops Simmons as a guest at a con.
    • "Kawaii Kon 2008": Same as last year.
    • Beyond that, any 2010s searches for "Rikki Simons" were either false positives for unrelated people, or passing name-drops of him attending cons.

So far, none of this is SIGCOV.

GBooks was similarly useless, returning only comics Simons worked on and a couple of animation databases. @Sammi Brie: fared no better, finding only a one-sentence mention of his comic work. Also like Andy Berman, I found a couple routine name-drops of him reprising the GIR role for Enter the Florpus, but literally all they confirm is that he is returning. I was wholly unable to confirm any biographical information, such as date of birth, spouse, or any work prior to I Feel Sick.

Much like Berman, I feel Simons has just enough credits for a redirect to be undue weight, but not enough to pass the WP:GNG filter. This is exactly the same SIGCOV void Berman fell into, so I think it's time to sing the doom song for his article. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 15:34, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete. As you pointed out, there just… aren't any reliable sources on Simons. Therefore, Simons is not a notable subject. Debonaira (talk) 23:58, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
