• Merge into bite-sized nuggets (List of Power Rangers planets) AdamBiswanger1 13:59, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep These articles seem interesting enough. Aquitar for example is well written, the other articles can perhaps be improved. Dionyseus 14:15, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge per above, PR is a long running popular series, they have some importance. Highway ^Batman! 14:25, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge but cut down. - Che Nuevara: ^{Join the Revolution} 14:37, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge -PresN 19:03, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Let those planets stay...especially Onyx. I wrote down there every monster that appeared in the appearances that the planet was featured in. - Rtkat3 8:55, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge all to List of Power Rangers planets. Unnecessary. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 03:09, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge into the list of planets article.—Wasabe3543 07:34, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I think these planets deserve a place in the wikipedia universe since they seem to be an important aspect of the power rangers oeuvre, although my statement might be based on pure speculation and mere opinion. In that sense, I would be on an equal footing with our nom, who brings no argument to the floor, but does state authoritatively that the articles present "excessive fictional detail of interest to an extremely circumscribed minority of even the fans of the show". I wonder what source the nom uses to support that statement of "fact"? Has the nom surveyed, polled or undertaken research among wikipedia users or even "fans of the show"? Or is the statement based solely on arbitrary guesswork, idle conjecture and perhaps a morbid fear of power ranger planets? The level of "fictional detail" here may be "excessive", but I would rather err on the side of some fictional detail, as opposed to no fictional detail. Lastly, I would also ask that the nom avoid attacking contributors through the use of non-words such as "cruft". --JJay 17:05, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Cruft is an acceptable term, per WP:CRUFT, a widely-cited essay. As to my motivation, it's mostly idle conjecture, combined with a tinged of morbid fear of Power Rangers planets. Nah, actually, I am a Transformers (tm) fan and I am trying to disrespect a rival franchise. Thanks for the compliments, JJay. </facetious> - CrazyRussian talk/email 18:17, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
  • On second thought I should have rouge-deleted the bunch under CSD-P7 (article about a planet not asserting significance) - CrazyRussian talk/email 18:30, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
    • Can you point me to the crackbrained bile spouting of a handful of under-employed users widely-cited essay that authorizes that sort of action? Barring that - since I know you are neither lazy nor easily offended - perhaps we should be talking about notability standards for fictional planets (unless you want to deal with fictional malls first)? --JJay 18:45, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
      • Ouch! * applies ice-pack to cheek * - CrazyRussian talk/email 18:48, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete all per nom. Not even a list, please. --Aguerriero (talk) 19:43, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep if we can have lists of cartoon characters and homes for other topics why should this one be any differant. (Neostinker 20:20, 12 July 2006 (UTC))
• Merge to list of PR planets. -- Whpq 21:37, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge into List of Power Rangers planets. SchuminWeb (Talk) 04:13, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Addon: Make sure, though, to add more detail for the individual planets on the list if the individual articles are merged. SchuminWeb (Talk) 04:14, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge all but Aquitar and KO-35. These are the only ones that are well written, contain multiple paragraphs, and are major focii for certain Power Rangers seasons/series (Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers for Aquitar and Power Rangers: In Space for KO-35). Ryulong 06:54, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge all except Aquitar and KO-35 to List of power rangers planets, per Ryulong. Herostratus 21:35, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
• merge all with List of Power Rangers planets like suggested Yuckfoo 06:04, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
