Power Rangers episodes
I found various television episode articles from the tv show Power Rangers. Not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, but seven articles i request to be deleted, because it seems like they do not satisfy Notability (fiction). The subjects of the following articles are not notable outside the fictional basis.



Them seven articles do not seem notable on there subjects and are merely just any random tv episodes. Mythdon (talk) 07:27, 20 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - Episode synopses are fine. Articles could use cleaned up/standardized, and I don't think the cast listing is necessary, but whatever.  There are hundreds if not thousands of similar articles on Wikipedia for episodes of shows we've never heard of.  Also, just say "seven articles".  -- goatasaur (talk) 16:31, 20 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment: WP:FICT applies to fictional objects, not works of fiction, and so does not apply here. I note for the record that the style guideline for writing about television encourages that these be compiled into list, and strongly suggests that the first step in dealing with problematic articles is a merge proposal. —Quasirandom (talk) 18:31, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete. Fancruft. What's next, plot summaries of all mumbletey-muble epsiodes of "Star Trek" or worse yet, "Gunsmoke" ? --Wtshymanski (talk) 21:53, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * That is not a proper deletion reason. I am fairly sure that there are articles on the episodes of Star Trek and Gunsmoke. Your deletion rationale just seems to be a WP:IDONTLIKEIT response.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龍 ) 21:59, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Are you responding to me or Wtshymanski about the WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Mythdon (talk) 23:15, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Consider the IDONTLIKET comment mentioned Star Trek and Gunsmoke (shows that Wtshymanski mentioned) it seem clear that the comment was directed at Wtshymanski. --70.48.173.212 (talk) 01:30, 21 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - what you have listed is only a small (notable? thats debatable) portion of List of Power Rangers episodes & Category:Power Rangers episodes. If you intend to state they are not notable, your going to need a more specific rational that you have provided. Exit2DOS2000   •T•C•  06:43, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The other reason is because Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Mythdon (talk) 00:15, 22 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge into list article. At the present time, none of these articles are ready to be standalone articles. Once you remove the plot summary, you no longer have an article, which violates WP:NOT. None of them contain any information from independent reliable third-party sources, much less enough to establish the episodes' notability. --Farix (Talk) 01:20, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Farix, im glad you understand what i mean. Mythdon (talk) 02:08, 22 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep I think the show is notable enough that the episodes are also, and notable enough that sourcing will be possible. DGG (talk) 05:52, 24 January 2008 (UTC) to have some sourcing. Merging would also be an option, but not if there is loss of the material. DGG (talk) 05:52, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, but if you remove the plot summary as stated by Farix you no longer have an article. Mythdon (talk) 08:08, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
 * reasonably short plot summaries are permitted,so we would merely have shorter articles. There's nothing wrong with short articles. There is no policy that plot summaries are prohibited in wikipedia. There is some other content in the articles--they seem to discuss other aspects of the show as well. DGG (talk) 20:41, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
 * A short plot summery is fine so long as there is sufficient real world contextual information that goes along with the summary. However, if an article is still mostly a plot summary, even if it is short summary, it still violates WP:NOT. Articles should always be more then just a plot summary, and episode articles that do not meet that standard are viable candidates for merging. --Farix (Talk) 14:24, 25 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge into single article per season unless solid references can be found for each episode. That's a lot of work and it might be easier to just keep.... Hobit (talk) 03:49, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge - into the list. Not notable on their own. --Doug.(talk • contribs) 20:08, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't know if there is a list...— Ryūlóng ( 竜龍 ) 23:52, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * There are at least 6 of them. Though if you do some digging around, I'm sure you will find the other seasons:
 * List of Power Rangers episodes
 * List of Power Rangers: Turbo episodes
 * List of Power Rangers: Dino Thunder episodes
 * List of Power Rangers: S.P.D. episodes
 * List of Power Rangers: Mystic Force episodes
 * List of Power Rangers: Operation Overdrive episodes
 * Farix (Talk) 12:28, 26 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete or merge These articles about individual episodes of shows make WikiPedia look silly. NBeale (talk) 07:47, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. We should destroy content en masse to help our image? Where would we stop? --Kiz o r  14:58, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
