Kumonga

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

A small article for a rather minor kaiju in the Godzilla series. While Kumonga did have a spider named after it, any other commentary I can find is scattered and weak at best. There doesn't seem to be enough for a full article here. I'd suggest a redirect to Son of Godzilla, Kumonga's main film appearance. Has one ever considered Magneton?

 * Redirect to Son of Godzilla, the kaiju's first appearance. Much like the cases of Ebirah and Manda, available sources on the creature pretty much just cover plot and production details of the pieces of media it appeared in, rather than any kind of analysis that demonstrates notability of the monster itself. And to pre-empt the argument that was made on both of those AFDs, while the Japanese Wikipedia article on the creature cites numerous sources, those are also just supporting plot and production details, and are also largely from official Toho sources. The fact that a real life species of spider was named after the kaiju is an interesting bit of trivia, but not enough to base an article around. Rorshacma (talk) 21:42, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Re-direct per Rorhacma's statements. Either reiteration of plot in the film and just WP:Fancruft. Andrzejbanas (talk) 12:37, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Rorshacma. There isn't WP:SIGCOV about this fictional element's reception in the real world. Shooterwalker (talk) 17:12, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
