Previous AfC[edit]

Hey everyone,

As I understand it, there was an attempt at creating a page for the actor Nicholas Boulton in 2016 which resulted in a delete due to Wikipedia:ENT notability. See the AfD thread here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nicholas Boulton (actor)

While I wasn't aware of that discussion before I started my draft, I believe that much has changed since 2016. Here's what I'd like you to consider:

Increased Media Presence: A Google News search for "Nicholas Boulton" now returns numerous results that directly refer to him and his roles. I'm mentioning this because it seems to have been used as an argument for deletion back then.
Notable Roles:
- Hawke in Dragon Age II: Boulton plays a main protagonist in the Dragon Age series, a significant role in a popular franchise.
- Raubahn in Final Fantasy XIV: He has continued in this role through three expansions—Stormblood, Shadowbringers, and Endwalker—with notable on-screen time, especially in Stormblood.
Recognition as an Audiobook Narrator: Boulton has been inducted as an AudioFile Golden Voice, an honor that recognizes his contributions and impact in the audiobook industry.

Personally, I think his roles as Hawke and Raubahn (and perhaps even Gadolt, considering that Xenoblade Chronicles has received a commercially successful Nintendo Switch remake in 2020) are already notable enough to warrant Boulton an article.

I appreciate feedback from the community on this matter and on the structure of the draft.
