I wanted to WP:D-R this one, but since there have been several other times editors have tried this and been reverted, I thought it best to bring this a discussion. The inherent problem here is the idea that this King Kong is different from the "real" one, which seems like kaiju WP:FANPOV and others who have tried redirecting this article. The Toho creature is really just an interpretation of the King Kong character, not a separate one that happens to have the same name and a similar appearance. There are plenty of interpretations of King Kong that don't merit their own articles.
I would like to redirect this article to King Kong#King Kong (Toho). I don't think it's necessary to merge, but this will preserve the page history if anyone is interested in performing one. -- BDD ( talk) 00:27, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
At what point does an alternative version of a fictional character merit its own page? For instance, there is an entry for alternative versions of Spiderman, so by what criteria does this not merit its own page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pjwhoopie17 ( talk • contribs) 15:27, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
