  • Delete. This is a character from a toy movie. There is no independent notability here, besides a couple of mentions in the usual fanzines. If the practice of these manga/tokusatsu/whatever editors was followed wiki-wide, then every single character in every single movie and TV show would warrant an article. The "information" currently in the article could easily be merged into the main article. Drmies (talk) 01:38, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    He is one of the main characters in the TV series, not a movie, so he is independently notable. Interviews are found in the various links I posted above with the actor about his role.—Ryulong (琉竜) 02:12, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Why? How many of these people would get their own articles, fictional biography and all? None, and for a very good reason. Drmies (talk) 03:40, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
This isn't from a movie. It is from a television series that will be on TV for another 9 months and will also be featured in a film in box offices this weekend and again in August of 2014 and next December. Individual articles exist for fictional characters all over this project and your dismissal is unnecessarily flippant. Yes, the character may just be part of a 50 or so episode, three feature film toy commercial, but that doesn't make the subject not notable.—Ryulong (琉竜) 07:23, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
