Samurai Power Rangers

Declined Prod. Prod reason was "Expansion of Power_Rangers_Samurai#Rangers that adds ranger color navigation templates. All references point at the series character descriptions and therefore not independent sources."

In addition de-prodder claimed "just only been created and arguments are invalid". Hasteur (talk) 18:18, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: It's a recently created stub article that has not been expanded upon yet. There is no policy on Wikipedia that forbids splitting off character lists from parent articles and there is certainly no mandatory length requirement on when these should be made. The subject of the article passes notability and previous articles of this type have been kept at AFD because they are completely allowed under Wikipedia policy. On a similar AFD, Hasteur is inaccurately stating that the creation of the article violates WP:CRYSTAL for some yet to be explained reason.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 18:32, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
[[CITATION NEEDED]] Please strike your personal attack on me as I am applying WP policy Hasteur (talk) 18:40, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
What personal attack?—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 18:56, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"On a similar AFD, Hasteur is inaccurately stating that the creation of the article violates WP:CRYSTAL for some yet to be explained reason." That constitutes an ad hominem attack on the person by bringing behavior on annother discussion in play. I express sadness at your lack of understanding of the wikipedia policies and procedures.

Stating my thoughts on your application of policy is not a personal attack in any sense of the term. And the AFDs are related so I am most certainly allowed to mention it.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 19:24, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: While the article needs a lot of help at this point, it appears to be appropriate and tie into an existing franchise. Bagheera (talk) 20:11, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Power Rangers Samurai#Rangers: Per WP:Notability which says "Information on Wikipedia must be verifiable; if no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, then it should not have a separate article" and WP:Notability#Stand-alone lists which says "Notability guidelines apply to the inclusion of stand-alone lists and tables. Notability of lists (whether titled as "List of Xs" or "Xs") is based on the group. A list topic is considered notable if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines". Powergate92Talk 02:05, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- This is not a stand alone list and it is not subject to the standard notability guidelines as articles have.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 17:49, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It should not be deleted, every power rangers series has an article like this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.97.213.143 (talk) 13:42, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
