List completely lacks any reliable sources or comprehension, it is purely fan junk. The list has no context and to the casual wikipedian who is unfamiliar with the subject matter it is terrible given that the article is completely in the Power Rangers universe and not our own. Utterly unencyclopedic. If we must have such lists can we please keep it in one "article"? Dr. Blofeld White cat 13:45, 8 May 2009 (UTC) reply
Good? Hardly. I gather you are a young user who likes reading about comics and fictional characters. Fair enough if thats your thing but wikipedia is still an encyclopedia not an in universe list of fiction. Wikipedia:Listcruft was written by a college professor who laid down the guidleines to fiction huh? Dr. Blofeld White cat 14:31, 8 May 2009 (UTC) reply
OK then then you are an old man. Answer my question. Do you or do you not enjoy reading about fictional characters? Dr. Blofeld White cat 14:47, 8 May 2009 (UTC) reply
Yes thats exactly what my concern is. However offtrack people's conception of an encyclopedia is in relation to traditional conservative views content however fan cruft still has to be verifiable and contain reliable sources and also contain non in-unvierse information such as the making and release of episodes etc. Some series like The SImpsons etc and actually contain the balance of information which is required for fiction by not only listing plot or episodes but containing actual "real" life information on it . List cruft is not exempt from the guidelines and it is not so much the idea of having lists as it is that they don't meet guidelines in this way.. Dr. Blofeld White cat 15:26, 8 May 2009 (UTC) reply
Yes but wikipedia isn't a TV guide. I can't see how they are considered encyclopedic. Wikipedia is not paper but I still just think we should be covering proper encyclopedic topics, an overview of the series is surely enough?. Just imagine turning the pages of a credible encyclopedia like Britannica or somebody and seeing a list of episodes of the Mighty Morphin Power rangers it really makes us look like a joke. It points to the work of children it really does whether 50 year old men like such series or not. How wikipedia ever hopes to gain any respect and credibility if content like this exists I have no idea. What concerns me is if people consider this sort of content encyclopedic then it opens up a huge area for fan crufters to pollute this site with further unreferenced child-like plots in universe with little relation to the real world. The fictional content on here is already huge but it is just going to get worse and worse as the criteria for notability just keeps getting lower and lower. So the series was a hit with children, why does this mean a list of episodes for a every series every released is appropriate? If the lists were done properly like List of Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes I might not think so harshly about them. Dr. Blofeld White cat 19:42, 8 May 2009 (UTC) reply
