Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Agon (tokusatsu)

The result was no consensus. This AFD is now a month old, and there is no chance of interpreting what to do over a period that long. My suggestion is to renominate in a new afd. Honestly, there's no point in relisting more than once per AFD discussion because it just runs too long then. -Royalguard11 (T·R!) 18:38, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Agon (tokusatsu)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Does not meet WP:Notability requirements. A fictional character for four episodes, possibly COPYVIO for having the lyrics included. Failed PROD. Editor who removed PROD did not address notability, but instead said Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy and not paper? Collectonian 19:34, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Oy, this isn't a character article -- it's a TV show article misnamed after its title character. The fictional character notibility guidelines don't apply here. Which is not to say in its current form it adequitely satisfies the notability requirements for a show, but it needs a good-faith chance to do so under the correct guise. Keep, move to Giant Phantom Monster Agon, tag as a stub, and notify the relevant WikiProjects (Japan and TV, probably) that it needs urgent help, and give them a few months to work on it (I'd suggest six, given that sources are likely to be in Japanese). If it doesn't get sources for notability, then bring it back. —Quasirandom 00:44, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Move to Giant Phantom Monster Agon, and rework into an article about the show and not the character.  Pagra shtak  17:07, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Move to Giant Phantom Monster Agon. I can't read Japanese, but the Japanese wiki has an article for what seems to be this TV series. – sgeureka t•c 12:59, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Just because it existed dosn't make it notable. Is it a notable TV mini-series? This is the key to the articles inclusion...--CastAStone|(talk) 20:46, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I am not aware of a case where a TV show was declared non-notable. It's a pretty old series, so that explains its stubbiness even in the jp wiki. But if I'm reading it right, the Japanese article was created about two years ago. If the article survived for that long on the Japanese wikipedia, I don't doubt the notability, and it probably shouldn't be deleted even though it will forever remain a stub here. – sgeureka t•c 23:32, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

 * There isn't even an article for the television show it's from. And Japanese television characters are a dime a dozen. I see no indication that this specific character is notable. I (talk) 23:15, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete or Move per above. Article is empty if you remove the show information. Fails WP:V and WP:RS. Vegaswikian (talk) 01:01, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
