Power Rangers Theme Tune
This and the below articles are random non-notable Power Rangers cruft. This one was orphaned, the others were short and had barely any context to them. Ryulong 18:31, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

The above may pass WP:MUSIC, but the following are probably more deserving of a deletion:
 * V-Lancer
 * The Best of the Power Rangers: The Ultimate Rangers
 * Relisting as separate AfDs. Ryulong 01:54, 13 July 2006 (UTC)


 * What an incredibly annoying theme tune. In fact, it was so annoying precisely because it was rather popular among horrible little children, who sang it very often and loudly; and since I am a person of refined taste and sensibilities, and with a delicate ear to boot, that was quite a horrific experience. Also, a tiny amount of research (on the main Power Rangers page) shows that a certain unutterable Cowell released this monstrosity upon the charts of at least one horror-struck country, where it peaked at a quite worrying number three in the singles chart. Don't laugh unless you had to live through it :-/ This does, at least, prove that nobody's musical ambitions lack all chance of success, which will be welcome news to those visitors to this hallowed page yet to climb even the peak of WP:MUSIC. Would that I were able to vote delete, and the very memory of this tune be exorcised from this earth, I would do so unreservedly. Yet Wikipedia sometimes has to be but the accurate reflection of the world's imperfections, and even I may be able to endure this one - so long as nobody gets this put on the front page, and I plead, never put a fair use sound clip in! Hence I must bequeath this most undeserving of pages the most grudging strong keep in AFD history, and hope that it never troubles me again. TheGrappler 20:03, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Reulctant, but Strong Keep per TheGrappler. #3 in the charts passes WP:MUSIC. :(  Tevildo 20:14, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I was completely unaware that this single had even hit the charts anywhere, but it still has no links other than to this AfD. It is completely unknown to anyone who searches the Power Rangers article, and the article isn't even named correctly if it's supposed to be for a single. I only found this by going through Category:Power Rangers at random, at which I removed It may pass WP:MUSIC, but the other articles I listed are fairly crufty and short. Whatever information I found within them I transferred to to where they were linked (which was two places for V-Lancer, where there was another location that had much better information, and a single place for the DVD, which was only linked to the main PR article).  I will change my own vote to Keep for the music single, with a dash of Move, but I still think that the short articles should be deleted. Ryulong 20:23, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. I largely agree with Ryulong, with greater emphasis on Move for the single. As far as the orphan issue goes, I'm sure there are places (the main Power Rangers article, or Mighty Morphin article, or various lists) that are appropriate places to reference and link to the article once properly named. -- Supermorff 22:04, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
 * We have articles for other theme tunes though, and the theme tune may have more international impact than the single since that was heard wherever the show was broadcast. The single was a derivative of the theme tune and probably doesn't deserve either to be an article in its own right, or to be the focus of an article that deals with both the single and the theme tune. TheGrappler 23:52, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
 * While there are articles on other theme songs, this article has specific information about the Single that Cowell put forth, not the "Go Go Power Rangers!" song. Ryulong 00:11, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Also, something is telling me I should either remove the (comparatively) unrelated articles to a new AfD, or relist them as (which I attempted, but my edits were reverted). Ryulong 01:07, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Reluctant strong keep. It passes WP:MUSIC by hitting #3 on the charts (even though a lot of the songs weren't very good). --Core des at talk. o.o;; 07:48, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per charting above. --badlydrawnjeff talk 11:04, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Power Rangers was among the worst kids' shows ever, but this is still notable due to being a hit. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  12:47, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
