Talk:David Frederick Case

American accents

This was added by User:Virginia Dutch :

One area Case mostly avoided was American literature and American-themed works - he never felt fully comfortable with American accents, despite living much of his life in the U.S.

This should be sourced. It rings true, but has an 'insider knowledge' tone ("he never felt comfortable"), that on Wikipedia requires sourcing to verify if it's really true. He did record a few American writers Samuel Eliot Morison, Norman F. Cantor, Robert K. Massie - but on European topics. -- GreenC 15:32, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

Prolific

The word "prolific" in this case is not WP:PEACOCK or WP:PUFFERY. It's factual, and means simply that - he narrated a ton of books during his time, relative to other narrators at that time. He was literally prolific. This is not a negative or positive assertion, it is a fact. Simply saying "700" means nothing to most people who are unfamiliar with the history of audiobook industry in the 80s and 90s, you need to put in context. There is a reason his death was covered in the Washington Post, because he was so well known, because he narrated so many books! Your position basically would eliminate the word prolific from WIkipedia entirely. It's a perfectly acceptable description when the person actually is prolific. If you want to ban the word from Wikipedia, start an RfC. If you want to argue he was not prolific, go for it. -- GreenC 01:03, 2 July 2025 (UTC)
