- List of Zords ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – ( View log · Stats)
- (Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Extensive list of in-universe items unnecessary for a general encyclopedia. There is nothing here that would make a general reader's experience better. Each series' robots can easily be summarized in the main articles. References are entirely primary from what I can see. As it's all in-universe, I see no information worth merging. The concept of a "Zord" could potentially be notable, but I see nothing in this article that would be worthwhile to salvage in making a general article on the topic.

WP:GNG requires "significant mentions" in reliable sources. Articles with small factoids or ones that merely mention the topic don't qualify. That is just a
WP:REFBOMB with many insignificant sources.

- [10] is about and discusses the Dragon Zord of MMPR.
- [11] is about the cast's reactions on whether or not the then-upcoming Power Rangers film would have the zords - out-of-universe info.
- [12] is about PR actor Austin St. John and the film's director Dean Israelite's out-of-universe discussion about the Zords in the 2017 movie, no joke about the Chia Pets part. Yeah, the last two are related to the movie so if this is deleted, I'll put the sources there. FoxyGrampa75 ( talk) 16:11, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
