Once a Ranger

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable TV episode. ApprenticeFan (talk) 08:18, 23 November 2008 (UTC) 
 * Keep: Text and third party references suggest otherwise.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 10:06, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Close nomination. Nominator did not state a valid case for deletion. Merely claiming something is not notable does not make it so. Such a claim must be accompanied by a reason why they believe notability guidelines are not met. Can anyone read the Japanese source mentioned? - Mgm|(talk) 11:22, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * It is actually a description of the episode in a Japanese television magazine that featured this particular Power Rangers episode. It discusses various aspects of the episode and the series in Japanese.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 11:31, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Per WP:AFD, nonnotability is in fact a common reason to ask for deletion. Independent of what the Japanese source says, it's really short and hence doesn't look significant. – sgeureka t•c 13:13, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I suggest reading User:Uncle G/On notability and the RFC that it links to. MGM is quite right to point out that the nomination is poor.  It is poor.  It provides nothing of use to the closing administrator.  Uncle G (talk) 21:18, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect or delete There is nothing in the article (other than excessive plot summary per WP:UNDUE) that can't and isn't already covered in List of Power Rangers: Operation Overdrive episodes. No prejudice against recreation if someone digs up and adds significant amounts of real-world information to the article. – sgeureka t•c 13:13, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep: There are plenty of other pages about special episodes for tv shows. And this is noteworthy in the history of Power Rangers. Rick lay95 (talk) 19:39, 23 November 2008 (UTC)rick_lay95
 * keep This seems to be a significant event in the show, but the article should emphasize this aspect of it a little more clearly. If it does, the amount of plot is not disproportionate. such problems are editing problems, not deletion questions. DGG (talk) 02:47, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect or delete - The sources only seem to confirm that it exists, which is not enough for an article. Without any development or reception information, the episode list should be enough. TTN (talk) 19:55, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Power Rangers: Operation Overdrive episodes. This currently is little more than a plot summary. Nuttah (talk) 10:46, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,   Sandstein   18:41, 28 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge and redirect - with no prejudice to re-creation should information attesting to real-world notability be found. The existence of other articles for other TV episodes is not relevant, as they like this article must abide by our content guidelines. Otto4711 (talk) 20:10, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Speedy Keep This is a Power Rangers crossover episode, and like all other episodes overall in PR,it is notable. Dalekusa (talk) 19:26, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
 * First, this is not eligible for a speedy keep. Second, all episodes of Power Rangers are not inherently notable. Notability is established through reliable independent sources that substantively discuss the subject. Otto4711 (talk) 21:07, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
