Well looks like Ressha Sentai Tokkyuger is no longer a rumor. Official news finally confirmed the copyright registered by Toei just popped yesterday:http://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/entame/entertainment/210034/ I'm still waiting for the confirmed designs next month and in this month's Hyper Hobby, whenever it will be released.BlackGaia02 (talkpage if you dare) (talk) 06:35, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Wrong Japanese Page for Super Sentai
Last night I was discovered on the language pages that one of them, Japanese, has a very wrong article, in this case: Toei Advertising. Would you please replace that article (https://ja.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%9D%B1%E6%98%A0%E3%82%A8%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B8%E3%82%A8%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B7%E3%83%BC) with this one (https://ja.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%B9%E3%83%BC%E3%83%91%E3%83%BC%E6%88%A6%E9%9A%8A%E3%82%B7%E3%83%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%82%BA)? 94-kun (talk) 17:46, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
 * ✅ at some point apparently. —151.132.206.250 (talk) 14:00, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Trivia section
The section seems to be composed of unnecessary trivia. Am I mistaken? Any objections to removal? —96.8.24.95 (talk) 15:17, 14 February 2021 (UTC)


 * TRIVIA said ``Trivia sections should not simply be removed from articles in all cases'' --Ans (talk) 05:27, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay. What was worth keeping in this one? —96.8.24.95 (talk) 06:44, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

Formatting question
Would those massive lists of series and movies work better as a table with a few columns? I might have a go at it if no one responds. —96.8.24.95 (talk) 03:52, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
 * (same user as above) I gave it a go. —151.132.206.250 (talk) 21:02, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Merge?
Would it be a good idea to merge the articles for the first fifteen series (pre-Power Rangers) into this page? They don’t seem to have much beyond in-universe and IMDb information, and since they seem unlikely to be expanded within a reasonable amount of time, it … makes sense to merge it. and I’m not sure any of them are individually WP:notable. —151.132.206.250 (talk) 19:18, 29 March 2021 (UTC) edited 04:35, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for suggesting that. I wonder what other have to say. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 20:27, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose They're all notable per WP:TVSHOW. Could they all use some work to reduce the WP:FANCRUFT? Sure, but that's not a relevant reason for merging. JPG-GR (talk) 01:35, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
 * (same anon user as above) Likely to be notable isn’t the same thing as actually notable. It’s possible that each series individually had substantial coverage in Japanese-language RSes, and if such can be used to build respectable articles that aren’t just IMDb pages, I’m all for it. If not, well: the presence or absence of reliable sources is more definitive than the geographic range of the program's audience alone. All I know is that English-language sources have little to nothing to say about any series prior to Zyuranger, the basis for the first season of Power Rangers, and any suitable non-English sources that might be out there seem to have gone ignored for the past sixteen years. Or to put it simply: If we don’t have anything to say about the series, we don’t need a dedicated article to say it. —96.8.24.95 (talk) 01:51, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't believe that any of that refutes what I said. Reliable sources exist (you can reference the Japanese-language Wikipedia for a small sampling) and whether they've been "ignored for the past sixteen years" is not relevant as there is no deadline. JPG-GR (talk) 12:05, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
 * My point is that the existence of sources doesn’t really do us any good unless we use them. Build out the stubs, or merge them until we can. —151.132.206.250 (talk) 16:47, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Also, while it’s true there is no deadline, if it’s unlikely to be expanded within a reasonable amount of time, it often makes sense to merge it. After sixteen years, this does seem unlikely. —151.132.206.250 (talk) 16:54, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose The Super Sentai series that are pre-Power Rangers are all notable as per WP:TVSHOW. I also think they all use some work to reduce the WP:FANCRUFT that is better suitable for RangerWiki on Fandom instead of on Wikipedia though the ones that have been adapted are filled with the fan cruft too. Pahiy (talk) 22:35, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose: Strongly oppose. The main reasoning seems to be "because it's all pre-Power Rangers", considering the emphasis in their initial post, which is just stupid and a biased towards the western franchise.--14.203.16.238 (talk) 07:41, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I’m not sure what you mean about emphasis, unless you thought I was emphasizing a MOS:MAJORWORK title by italicizing it? —151.132.206.250 (talk) 14:38, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
 * It implies bias towards the western franchise, i.e. only the seasons that were adapted into Power Rangers are notable, is how I interpreted your emphasis in "pre-power rangers".--14.203.16.238 (talk) 07:09, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
 * (same user as nom) Did you mean parenthetical rather than emphasis? I emphasized nothing. It was a clarification, nothing more. And it is a fact that the use of Zyuranger as the basis for the American show generated more interest (resulting in more coverage) of that particular series in the English-speaking world than any previous one. I say English-speaking because, at this point, I’m not fluent in any other languages. I don’t know if any individual early SS series was discussed to any great extent in Japanese or any other language. I do know that in English, Zyuranger was (directly because of the link with PR), and the ones before it were not. As I’ve said before, if we have significant non-English sources for those prior series—great, let’s use them! Why aren’t we? If we aren’t because we don’t, I’m not sure why we need standalone articles for them without any meaningful content.  I guess that’s what my stance boils down to. If we can’t say anything meaningful in an article, it doesn’t need to be its own article. —96.8.24.95 (talk) 04:23, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
 * No. I meant emphasis. You made the point to single out the fact that most are pre-Power Rangers, which sounds like bias. So what if they're pre-Power Rangers? It shouldn't affect their notability. Also guess you would want Toqger, Zyuohger, Kyuranger, Lupin/Patranger, Ryusoulger, Kiramager, and Zenkaiger deleted as well. Heck, lets get rid of all the Kamen Rider series since a good 99% of it wasn't adapted into the west.
 * Just because no one is adding more info doesn't make it not notable. If someone wants to add info, they will. No need to get your knickers in a twist. And what more do you want added anyway? All the articles seems to have just the right amount of information without seeping into fandom territory.
 * That's a very subjective opinion. Just because what the articles entails right now aren't meaningful to you, doesn't mean they're not meaningful to others.--14.203.16.238 (talk) 10:10, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose: They're notable TV shows.--Manaritsu (talk) 12:47, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose: This article already has a good amount of sources and info, other sentai pages are largely the same. More out of universe info would be good, but I believe they can be found and used to expand the pages in a reasonable amount of time. BenTheDuelist (talk) 21:16, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Distribution
Excuse me, went was their distribution section for Asia deleted? If it's not cited, a citation needed tag would have sufficed Suredeath (talk) 06:42, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
