I am also requesting that after these articles get deleted (if it happens), that we make redirects to the series articles. —Mythdon (talk • contribs) 12:11, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete all The series itself is notable, but these are almost entirely single-episode appearances that don't belong in an encyclopedia, even in list form. No opinion on the redirects, but it seems to me nobody is ever likely to type something like "List of demons in Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue" into the search box, so redirects are probably of questionable value.

- Delete all There's a lot of cruft here and the lists overlap way too much. Most of the monsters have only appeared in one episode and aren't of importance to the discussion of the show. A list of recurring monsters (like Goldar or King Mondo who both appeared in more than one season) might be the way to go. Themfromspace (talk) 17:25, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I vote to keep them. The series has way to many monsters and this is a great way to keep track of them. I visit the pages often.

- Shadow, these articles lack coverage in reliable sources. Keeping the articles merely because we can keep track of them has no sufficiency for keeping. You say you visit the pages often, and that is even less of a reason to keep. Your statement clearly sounds like a statement that falls under WP:ILIKEIT. —Mythdon (talk • contribs) 10:21, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep all, these characters all appear in notable television shows and the shows are reliable sources. I'm absolutely certain that more people have heard of these characters than they have Mike Caplan. --Pixelface (talk) 04:42, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Mike Caplan has been talked about in third-party sources, Googleheimer the Toy Robot has not been. Themfromspace (talk) 06:15, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. I created the article Mike Caplan. Though he is only a local weather anchor, it seems that he, as a weather anchor, deserves his own article. —Mythdon (talk • contribs) 06:55, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete all Almost entirely one-shot jobs, no sources could possibly exist besides the episodes themselves. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 13:59, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Question - As I'm only vaguely familiar with the series, would someone please clarify if there are any entries on any of these lists which aren't cases of a single appearance in a single episode? "Minor" characters are fine, but this many lists for this many "one-shot" adversaries makes me wonder if these couldn't be better displayed in an episodes list, to reduce duplication. - jc37 06:54, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: These are lists of minor characters for 15 different television series. As they are now, they would clutter up any episode list or main article. Sure, some of the information is really unnecessary, but that can be removed.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 22:44, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
