Other Rangers and Ranger-like allies

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

I believe this article should not exist on Wikipedia because the terms used in the article witch are "Other Ranger" and "Ranger-like ally" are not official and not used by any site or anywhere i know of. What do you think?. Mythdon (talk) 03:24, 3 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete Looks like a fannish original research festival to me. Mangoe (talk) 04:39, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep: None of this is original research. The only aspect that is not based in reality is the name of the page, because there is nothing else that covers all of these characters. This nomination is also malformed because there is no AFD on the page. It is just a notification on the talk page.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 05:27, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep: If there's an issue with naming, fix it. No need to delete. --MZMcBride (talk) 05:58, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep: There's no OR here, and the naming issue is a simple one to fix that should never have required an AfD. Arrowned (talk) 06:05, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep: Since there is no official title for such Rangers, this is the best title that we can come up with. Placing these Rangers within the standard color categories would be original research.   ANDROS1337   15:38, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect back to Power Rangers: The title is "OR," and therefore it is impossible to search.  What, then, is the utility of the article, if no one can find it?  Isn't this better as a section in an article that will be read?  Isn't it better for the information to put it where it will be seen by those who seek it?  It makes no sense as a lost nugget.

 * Delete or Merge, has no sources outside of the Power Rangers shows. The claim by User:Ryulong that none of it is original research, and that the Power Rangers are based in reality, shows how deeply fictional topics dye some people's wool, as it were. Paddy Simcox (talk) 20:58, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * That is in no way what I meant. What I meant is that the only thing that has not been written about or appeared in the fictional subject itself is the title of the page. If the page's title was "Other Power Rangers and allies to the Power Rangers" then that would be less of an "OR" title. There is no where that this information can really be merged to. Nothing needs to be deleted here. What Mythdon wants is a different name which is not decided through AFD.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 22:32, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - I believe the page is notable enough for its own article. True, it may be considered a small fork of the main Power Rangers article, but there is simply too much content to be put in the one page so it makes sense to split this topic off.
