No independent secondary sources to write an article as per
WP:GNG. This is very very long exhaustive list that's entirely sourced to primary sources, written completely in-universe. Even the main characters barely find any mentions in any reliable sources, and nothing that provides out-of-universe coverage to create a stand-alone article, with the exception of characters like
Tommy Oliver that already have an article. This subject fails to offer any coverage that would allow this to meet the standard at
WP:NOT#PLOT as well.

Keep - information is notable and verifiable as it was covered in
The New York Times). Although most of the plot summary can only be sourced be to the TV show, this is true of most fictional character articles. Although the plot summary can probably be trimmed a bit, this page serves as an extension of the main article (
Power Rangers Dino Thunder) which would become excessively long if both pages were merged. What works for most other subject areas (non-fiction) doesn't work for most subject areas about fiction (such as Power Rangers). The information on this page is clearly verifiable even if using mostly different sources and sourcing standards than ones used for non-fiction and many of the problems with the Power Rangers articles were corrected years ago. This is one of those cases where a
literal word for word interpretation of policy and guidelines is harmful and takes away from (not further) the project's aims. Rules exist for a reason, but that doesn't mean any subject area that's clearly verifiable and notable should be reduced to almost nothing all because of a literal word for word mechanical (overly strict) interpretation of policies and guidelines.—
