Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Trini Kwan


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. This discussion has focused on Trini Kwan, and I don't see a reasonable prospect for consensus for deletion of that article. Discussion about any possible merger can continue on the article talk page. The other two articles have largely not been discussed here. If they are deemed still not notable, they should probably be renominated separately.  Sandstein  12:13, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

Trini Kwan

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article is almost all plot and this character only appeared in 1 1/2 seasons of one particular Power Ranger series and does not seem notable for an individual article, similar to Articles for deletion/Ashley Hammond and Articles for deletion/Aisha Campbell. I am also nominating the following related pages because they are about Power Ranger characters who do not seem article worthy:

 * Keep. I worked the article about Trini actress Thuy Trang up to GA status, and during my work there I can tell you that I came across a lot of coverage of the character in reliable secondary sources, indicating the fictional character's notability as well as the actress herself. (In fact, I'd made a note that I'd like eventually to work Trini up to GA as well if I can in the future.) I unfortunately didn't save them when I saw them at the time, but if you take a look at the section Thuy Trang you will get an idea of some of what's available. In addition to her role as one of the inaugural Power Rangers characters, Trini was included in the 2016 film, in which her sexual orientation was changed, which resulted in additional coverage that help establish notability. (Some of this can be found in Thuy Trang but only in passing.) Furthermore, though all three of these character articles can use some work/improvement, they each DO though on non-plot aspects of the characters as they stand now. Articles need improvement, not deletion, and are clearly notable. — Hunter Kahn 16:10, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect - The coverage for both this character and Zack Taylor (though not relevant to this AfD) seemed fairly sparse when I was looking into them for potential AfDs. They're certainly mentioned in relation to the criticism over racism on the show, but nothing much is really said about the characters themselves. It's mostly just passing mentions in relation to the show at large. The character stereotypes for Yellow, Pink, Black, and Blue aren't really individually discussed enough that it's worth bothering with articles at this time. That discussion is better left to either an article on the early development of Power Rangers or just the main article. TTN (talk) 13:09, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge the reception section to the show's page or such. I am not seeing anything that would allow to expand this beyond a one-liner and so of analysis, and merit keeping this, but ping me if better sources are presented. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 06:37, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I think it's worth noting the Thuy Trang section already has multiple non-plot paragraphs about the character, including the audition, filming, the character's personality traits, injuries sustained during shooting, allegations of racism in the yellow color, stunts, and the actor's less-than-amicable departure from the show. These kind of aspects are often included in a fictional character's page as well as that of the actor. And these only include aspects of the character that directly relate to the actress herself; other sources would expand upon other aspects of the character, like critical reception and character development. So I think to say this character could only be expanded to a line or two is incorrect. — Hunter Kahn 14:15, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. The character is one of the original Power Rangers. I'd say that makes her notable enough to keep. Of course, I do agree that the article could use loads of improvement, but I don't think the fact that the page currently being in the state that it is warrants its deletion. Furthermore, as Hunter said above, many sources from Thuy Trang's page can be used to improve the character's development section. Additionally, Trini received further coverage for the reboot movie, especially in regards to her sexual orientation, which can be used for the "Reception" section. The only issue would be finding additional sources outside of Trang's article. PanagiotisZois (talk) 09:52, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
