QPQ: Done.
Overall: The expanded sections looks good in general, however, I assume readers will expect to read something about her birth and early life and some dates. Also, why does working and ocming home late lead to watching television? That might need some better phrasing/explaining. After those are addressed, it should be good to go. I personally prefer ALT1 or ALT2 but I'll let the promoting user decide which to use. SoWhy 09:57, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
@SoWhy: Unfortunately I couldn't really find much information online about her early life and pre-voice acting career so there's not much I can do about that. I've rephrased the television sentence part as well. Narutolovehinata5tccsdnew 11:03, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
Hmm, okay. Not really a reason to fail it, so . Regards SoWhy 13:18, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this, but am overwhelmed by the huge list of credits. She's not the world's most famous actress; I think you can eliminate most of these lists and just include her films and discography. 22:48, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
@Yoninah: Actually it's the norm for articles on Japanese voice actors to have long and detailed filmography sections. MOS:ANIME may be relevant here, or you could see Kana Hanazawa for another example of a similar article. Narutolovehinata5tccsdnew 23:12, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
@Yoninah: I'm currently away from my computer right now so I might not be able to do it until later. Perhaps @AngusWOOF: can help here? Narutolovehinata5tccsdnew 23:19, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
I've updated and formatted the filmography section. Enjoy! If those are still too long then the filmography can be split off from the main article. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:09, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
Thank you, AngusWOOF. I think it's an excellent idea to split off the filmography when it gets so long. Pinging @Narutolovehinata5:. Yoninah (talk) 17:33, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
@AngusWOOF:@Yoninah: Considering none of our other articles on Japanese voice actors have separate filmographies at this time, I think I would suggest holding off such splits unless there was proper consensus to do so, not just for Kayano's article, but for all other Japanese voice acting articles as well. I'm open to the idea though, but unless there was consensus to do so, I don't think it's necessary right now. Narutolovehinata5tccsdnew 00:30, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
Restoring tick per SoWhy's review. Yoninah (talk) 00:55, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
