  • Power Rangers Dino ChargeNo consensus. This request has probably been made in the wrong forum, because what is requested is apparently unprotection, not undeletion. The G5 deletion, as such, is not contested or discussed here. At any rate, because the article is protected because of sockpuppetry by banned users, I'm disregarding any opinions not made by established users. On that basis, we have no consensus here to unprotect or undelete the article. My recommendation is that, if an established user believes that this topic is (now) article-worthy, they should submit a brief, sourced draft stub to WP:RFPP. The protection should then be lifted. –  Sandstein  16:08, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Power Rangers Dino Charge (talk|edit|history|logs|links|watch) (restore)

Using a search engline, the next power ranger season is confirmed by sources. Checking the history however, it was protected and/or deleted so we need consensus before the article can be reposted. As an anonymous user, I will not attempt to create the article given it's history as it would likely be deleted if it's created by a new user. Yes, Wikipedia is not for fortunetellers but there are many cases where an article will be created for the next season of a TV show during the current season. 75.151.153.97 (talk) 14:43, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Coverage of future events needs to be encyclopedic, which goes beyond newspaper-type announcements.  Will anyone care in ten years what was being said in 2014 about this topic?  There is no WP:DEADLINE.  For getting started on the article, WP:Drafts is available.  Unscintillating (talk) 19:57, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
this is less than a year away, what do you expect? 69.60.207.229 (talk) 19:59, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Overturn seems reasonable if an established user wants to work on it. It was deleted as a creation of a banned user, which shouldn't prevent a good-faith article attempt. It does appear to be [official]. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 23:16, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Overturn per legitimate source and above. 69.60.207.229 (talk) 19:57, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Overturn I had no objections to a sourced article and asked for a redirect until then in the nom for the banned user version of this article. If good sources are available, so be it and create the article, but of course don't just use kidvid blogs and outright PR as the base of it. Nate (chatter) 00:42, 27 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Overturn. Don't care who writes the article, as long as it is a proven series. 79.136.250.38 (talk) 02:07, 27 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Endorse protection until it happens Yes, I realize this is somewhat of a futile protest, but Wikipedia is way too much concerned with what's happening now (and, by extension, what's probably going to happen soon). That's not what encyclopedias are for. If I want to learn about trending topics, I can go to Twitter. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:03, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Endorse protection until it happens  The title of the source that has been mentioned here is Exclusive: 'Power Rangers Dino Charge' coming in 2015.  The most concrete fact in this source says that "Bandai America is slated to create a new dinosaur-themed toy line pegged to its launch."  This is an example of something that may or may not happen.  Since this source is dated to last February, I Googled ["Power Rangers Dino Charge" "Bandai"] and see that pre-production models of the toy line are being displayed at toy shows.  For example, this blog dated 26 August 2014 says that Bandai of America recently changed the color of the triceratops for the Pink Ranger from purple to pink.  While it is possible that reliable sources could be found, an article on Bandai's pre-production toy line for Power Rangers Dino Charge would run smack into WP:NOT's WP:PROMOTION.  And the current coverage at Power Rangers and in the example article here don't mention Bandai.  No one has answered my question posed above, "Will anyone care in ten years what was being said in 2014 about this topic?".  Unscintillating (talk) 14:48, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
