While a recurring Kaiju in the Godzilla series and generally notable in universe, I can't find much more Kamacuras beyond listicles, passing mentions, and the like. The article itself is all plot, and unlike a lot of other Godzilla Kaiju, there isn't much developmental info that would warrant the article sticking around either. I just don't think there's enough to justify the article's existence separately from anything else. An AtD could be a redirect to Son of Godzilla, given that it seems to be where Kamacuras are most notable, but if anyone has a better suggestion, or found sources that may justify the article's existence that I may have missed in my BEFORE, then feel free to suggest or mention it. I'd like to keep this around, but as it stands, I don't think Kamacuras has much to stand on. Pokelego999 (talk) 16:15, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect. Not seeing how the article even tries to estabilish notability, and my BEFORE just gave few mentions in passing. Ping me if SIGCOV coverage that goes beyond plot summary is found. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:00, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Godzilla (franchise) per Piotrus. If someone wanted to start organizing a character list from the franchise, that might be useful. There isn't enough WP:SIGCOV to pass our guidelines. Shooterwalker (talk) 14:06, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Godzilla (franchise)#Filmography - No sources really showing that they're particularly notable, and since they have never really been the "featured" kaiju of a movie, always just appearing in films with an ensemble of monsters or as stock footage/cameos, there's not really a single movie that would serve as a great target for a redirect. The film list for the franchise, which already includes a column showing which monsters appeared in each film, would thus be the best target, as anyone searching for the monster would be redirected straight to a list where they can easily see their appearances.
