List of Bakuryū Sentai Abaranger characters

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Characters in a WP:MILL anime series that is "based on dinosaurs and explosions". Almost entirely unsourced, except for a bit of trivia which could also be added to the main article. Fails WP:N, WP:NOTPLOT, MOS:PLOT. No indication that these characters as a group, or any of them (as opposed to their anime series) have been discussed in depth in reliable sources. I lack the Japanese or anime fandom skills to perform a proper search for sources, though. At any rate, the natural habitat for such fancruft are fan wikis.  Sandstein  09:36, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Bakuryū Sentai Abaranger. The series itself is only borderline notable and Even if the series itself is notable, we really don't need a plot-heavy list of the characters. This isn't Wikia. --Slashme (talk) 10:43, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Borderline notable? You kidding me? Super Sentai lasted for decades and their annual sales are billions of yen. ミラP 15:36, 20 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Move back to draft space. Although it’s doubtless a valid content fork, I still incubated it there to address possible issues with the article’s quality, but I guess nom moved it there just so it could die there. Yes, fancruft and all that stuff, but deletion is not cleanup. That said, I see no reason to move it to main space just so it could be deleted. Ping who was the first one to come up with the idea and also  who also suggested the idea. ミラP 15:17, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Some more background: I closed Articles for deletion/Wicked Lifeforms Evolien, where opinions were all over the place, but I thought that the most consensual outcome was to implement Miraclepine's proposed merger and allow another AfD of the combined list. I acknowledge that it wasn't really clear whether people thought that the merged list should stay in draftspace first, though, and there might have well been reasons for keeping it there. I'm not opposed to moving it back to draft space if people think the content has some potential for inclusion - I'm just not seeing it, for the reasons mentioned above.

 * Move back to draft space per . I'm sure it was a good faith move on Sandstein's part, but moving it back seems the most appropriate course of action to me. — Hunter Kahn 15:41, 20 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Move back to draft space, with the understanding that all of the content will need to be removed and rewritten completely. This is exactly the sort of excessively long unsourced meandering cruft that gets uncontroversially deleted at AfD. Reyk YO!</b> 21:11, 20 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Move back to draft space and remember to preserve the full edit history of the articles that were merged. If someone believes they can fix the article, then they should be given time to try.   D r e a m Focus  22:47, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment I lack the Japanese or anime fandom skills to perform a proper search for sources says it all: our latest Signpost report states that, There have been many articles on notable topics deleted here simply because we didn't have access to the sources in Japan. The deletion process here is extremely biased against non-English sources and topics. If it hasn't been discussed in an English-language source, there are a fair number of editors who have to be reminded that sources are not required to be in English, and that it is much more difficult to get sources from a country where there has been less effort at getting older sources online. It's live-action, not anime, and explosions are routine in the franchise. ミラP 14:12, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
