I reverted the cast list, because the recently dumped data was a cut and paste job from this site (see "Show Stars" section): [1] If I was wrong to do so, feel free to revert it.

Shouldn't we note the Kunrei-Shiki for this article? "ZyuRanger" brings up more google hits than "JuRanger"! WhisperToMe 19:41, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Not only that, but the name is romanized as "ZyuRanger" within the original show itself (as any closeups of their Dinobucklers - aka Power Morphers - will attest to). - 24.131.38.46 05:09, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Cast?

For some reason, some of the characters' names in the cast listing are bold while others aren't. Is that intentional? 128.113.90.201 12:40, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

It appears that has been changed. Michael 04:45, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Zyuranger

Why were ZyuRanger and Kyoryu Sentai ZyuRanger redirected here and not to Dinosaur Task Force Beast Ranger? Power Rangers is not Zyuranger, it simply uses footage from it.(Darien Shields 01:04, 25 July 2005 (UTC))

New header idea

"Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is a children's television and movie series originally broadcast in Japan as Kyôryû Sentai ZyûRanger (In Hepburn, Kyōryū Sentai Jū Ranger, lit. Dinosaur Task Force Beast Rangers and often abbreviated as ZyuRanger), but westernized with replacement actors and brought to the United States by Haim Saban. It centers on five ordinary teenagers who are given great powers to fight galactic villains."

Shouldn't this header be in this article since the Kunrei abbreviation is used to refer to the Japanese show? WhisperToMe 19:58, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)

If we were to change it, the first few lines should read: "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is a children's television and movie series based on a Japanese children's show, Kyôryû Sentai ZyûRanger (In Hepburn, Kyōryū Sentai Jū Ranger, lit. Dinosaur Task Force Beast Rangers and often abbreviated as ZyuRanger), but it has been westernized with american actors and brought to the United States by Haim Saban. It centers on five or six (see Tommy Oliver ordinary teenagers who are given great powers to fight otherworldly villains." Asteroixiii 08:46, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

As much as your input helps, this particular conversation was started over three years ago.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 08:48, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Question for anyone knowledgeable

The text says the Rangers were five ordinary teenagers, but the photo shows six. The cast list would also suggest that at any one time, six different colors were in action. Can someone clarify? JamesMLane 12:23, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Recalling the distant past of my memories of the 90's... The Green ranger did not exist at the beginning. He was introduced in a two-part episode as an evil ranger, but by the end of the arc, he had become good and joined the MMPR. He was essentially the leader of the group after that, IIRC. Mpolo 12:34, Oct 19, 2004 (UTC)
Yeah, the Green Ranger, Tommy, was first introduced as an evil Ranger controlled by Rita. After the Power Rangers defeated him and destroyed his Sword of Darkness, the spell was broken and he joined the team. Red Ranger Jason was still the leader, though.
Eventually, Green Ranger lost his powers and for a few episodes they were down to five Rangers again. Tommy's Green Ranger powers were temporarily restored at enormous risk to his own health after Goldar succeeded in tricking the Power Rangers into giving up their Power Coins. When Tommy touched the forcefield surrounding Goldar's box, his powers were re-energized-- but they wouldn't last forever. Eventually, they were gone for good.
But later, Zordon and Alpha created a new, more powerful White Ranger to join the team and help fight against the more dangerous threat of Lord Zedd. This Ranger was revealed to be Tommy, who was then made the new leader of the team. Jason didn't object to it, and pretty soon he, Trini and Zack were replaced on the team by Rocky, Aisha and Adam, anyway.
And yes, I am a geek.  ;) ekedolphin

And it was 5 episodes, not two. Crazycarolina 17:23, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Language Question

Is there any particular reason why this article shows up in what looks to be either Spanish or Portuguese? --Cardinal biggles 17:00, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Broadcast History

This is the fourth or fifth time that I've had to revert to previous edits. Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers debuted August 28, 1993. It is FACT, yet whomever from IP address 68.43.238.101 continues to change it to May and 1994. Is there anything we can do to keep this from happening again? DrachenFyre 02:40, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)


Trivia

Is mentioning "Agony in Pink" really necessary in the context of this article? That fanfiction is the epitome of bad taste and should be nowhere near this article! If no one can give a wholly reasonable argument as to why it should be here, then I vote for deletion of this particular aspect of the article. DrachenFyre 23:31, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)

It shows: de gustibus non est disputandum. I think a note should be added that most fans consider it the epitome of bad taste. Or put it under external links instead of trivia. The good, the bad and the ugly: we take it all.

I don't think we should have it at all. This is trivia and little known facts about Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, not fanfiction by an obvious hack! If we allow this piece of filth to stink up the article, why don't we put up other pieces of fanfiction on other articles? My basic gripe boils down to do we really, really need that here and does it contribute, positively, to the article? DrachenFyre 07:09, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)

As he said, we take it all... the fan fiction has been exceptionally well-known in the community... it's filthy. And no, this isn't an "entire article". Only a brief mention. WhisperToMe 00:11, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

Power Rangers

Whats the diff between this article and the above-mentioned article? Yonidebest 11:59, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

The Power Rangers describes the actual series of incarnations whereas Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers is an incarnation of Power Rangers, just like Power Rangers Zeo is an incarnation of Power Rangers. - The Dragonmaster 12:16, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Oh, like having an article called "star wars" which describes the actual movie series, and then another six articles which discribe the incarnation of each of the six star wars movie. Jeez, and I thought we, on the Hebrew Wiki, havea problem with duplicate articles in some way... Its not even close to whats going on here :-P Yonidebest 13:04, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Banned in New Zealand

I can recall the Power Rangers series being shown on New Zealand television, and the local video shops show that the movies have a PG rating. IMDb is wrong.

Okay, but are you sure that Mighty Morphin is shown, and not just some of the later seasons. I'm not saying you're wrong - I have no idea - but that's what the statement might have meant. -- Supermorff 18:16, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

I, too, seriously doubt that the series is banned in New Zealand, where I can recall it being screened. I certainly remember some controversy over the series, but I suspect the pulling of broadcast was a result of the broadcaster's judgement, not that of the New Zealand Office of Film and Literature Classification. I've sent an email asking them to clear this up. If they come back and say the series isn't banned, I'm going to remove this factoid from the article. As it stands, the only justification for its inclusion is the classification on the IMDB. --Dom 14:23, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
Well, the office had this to say: "the Broadcasting Standards Authority (www.bsa.govt.nz) deals with complaints about broadcasting [...] the BSA has no authority to ban the broadcast of a programme." and this "there are numerous videos and DVDs of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers episodes available in New Zealand. Most are rated PG, meaning they are unrestricted but parental guidance is required for younger viewers. It is legal for anyone to possess and view these videos or DVDs." So, I think this is a pretty well debunked fact. --Dom 00:06, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
While the BSA has no authority to actually ban a programme, their decision in this instance did result in TVNZ cancelling the show on NZ television. The issues are explained in a reference I have added to the article. fonetikli 23:23, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Guess What Everybody

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Complete First Season and Second Season Will Be Released on August 14, 2006! It's True It Says it on the Front Page of Power Rangers Retrocenter

Awesome :D!

No, the date listed is April 1, 2006, and it was an April Fool's Joke.

Ninjor

Ninjor is not from Phaedos. He was in the Desert of Despair. Dulcea was from Phaedos. I'm going to edit a part of this article.

Episode Guide

I think the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers article should have an Episode Guide section including all 155 episodes (Alien Rangers included). I put one up, but it was taken off. Some of the other Rangers sections need episode guides as well. Does anyone agree?

No, as there is an entire article dedicated to the episodes of all of the Power Rangers series. Listing all 155 episodes for this series on the article's main page would be ridiculous. Ryulong 23:57, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

What about the other Power Ranger show sections? They all have episode guides. Excluding MMPR wouldn't be fair.

This is because the other series only spanned single seasons, and Alien Rangers (which has its own page) only spanned half of a season. MMPR spanned at least three seasons, and thus would lead to an extremely long list that would clutter up the article. It is not an issue of "fairness" like between siblings, it is an issue of being encyclopedic. Ryulong 00:07, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Merger with article for Zyu2

Even though I did not list it for merging, it does seem like the right idea to do, even though it appears to be really POV oriented and both self-centered and condescending in many places. If this article were to be merged into the MMPR article, it would require a major overhaul for content and diction. Ryulong 02:42, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. One thing that really needs to go is the belief that Zyu2 was an actual Sentai series. It wasn't. It was a collection of battle footage created solely to be used in Power Rangers. Adding it to Template:Super Sentai and the various succession boxes was wrong (which is why I reverted it), and the characters section in the article needs to go. jgp (T|C) 02:49, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
Actually, there's already a hefty sized area of the Trivia section relegated to the Zyu2 footage. Perhaps deletion is in order for the Zyu2 article rather than merging. Ryulong 02:44, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
Did you contact the users responsible? Intervention may be in order if they continue. And I stand by my deletion for the Zyu2 article. It's very POV oriented, referencing that Saban was a bunch of idiots in the editting process. It also seems to be "PRE" (whatever that is) centric, and may be a vanity article. Ryulong 02:53, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, I noticed the PRE stuff (particularly one line that referenced a "fellow PRE member"). I didn't want to delete the whole thing, as I think the background behind it is notable, but if the information is already duplicated in this article, I'd be in favour of nuking the Zyu2 article. However, I have cut down the Zyu2 article quite a bit in the meantime--the characters section and Sentai template needed to go, and the trivia line about the "fellow PRE member" has no place in Wikipedia. jgp (T|C) 03:04, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
If it's necessary, here's the information from Trivia, to add to the discussion:
  • Due to the unforeseen popularity of the series, Saban, the company that produced Power Rangers, was faced with the possibility of exhausting all of its Zyuranger footage with no more to fall back upon in order to continue producing the show. The company contacted Toei (the company which produced/produces the Sentai series in Japan) as well as Rainbow Productions (the company that designed and produced the monster suits), requesting another half-season's worth of Zyuranger footage, specifically for Power Rangers. The two Japanese companies agreed, creating around 25 brand-new monsters and filming both human- and zord-sized battle footage for each, as well as incorporating elements from MMPR into the footage (a relationship between the Green and Pink Ranger and the Blue Ranger as the brains of the group being the most obvious examples). These monsters are collectively known in the Power Rangers fan community as "Zyu2." Around this time, Saban was also negotiating a deal with Toei to acquire footage from Gosei Sentai Dairanger, the sentai series which followed Zyuranger. Saban used more than half of the Zyu2 costumes in the remainder of Season One of Power Rangers. When they decided to replace the Dinozords with the mecha from Dairanger in Season 2 (termed Thunderzords in Power Rangers), the Zord footage of the remaining Zyu2 monsters became obsolete. To compensate for this, Saban attempted to splice the Zyu2 and Dairanger footage to ensure that the Zyu2 monsters were not seen fighting with the old Megazord that was not supposed to be there. In other words, it would show only the monster attacking followed by a shot of just the Thunderzords taking the damage. This did not always work, for occasionally the monster could actually be seen making physical contact with the old Megazord.
I think that's more information than is listed in the Zyu2 article, and more compact, too. Ryulong 03:10, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, I agree. That's the most relevant information. jgp (T|C) 03:18, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
Actually, perhaps the monster list should have a place somewhere (perhaps merge into the monster list articles that are linked off this article? i.e. List of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers monsters (Season One) and List of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers monsters (Season Two)). jgp (T|C) 03:23, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
Perhaps a footnote could be placed under the monsters in question, stating that the original footage comes from the Zyu2 footage as opposed to Zyuranger or Dairanger footage, and then link back to the trivia section of the MMPR article. Ryulong 03:26, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Zord vandalism accusation

Someone has been vandalising the zords such as putting Godzilla and Smilodon for Dragonzord and Sabertooth Cat, repsectively. I will be changin them back to original wikis.

Dragonzord is a Godzilla-like thing, and Smilodon is a specific kind of sabertooth cat. Ryūlóng 01:47, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
I have instead linked Dragonzord and Tigerzord directly to their sections in the Zords in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers page, and Sabertooth tiger redirects to Smilodon regardless. Ryūlóng 01:53, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

"Zord" as a Proper Noun

I'd like to hear the argument on this. Just curious. JPG-GR 01:50, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

It's a word they made up for any mecha/creatures that form mecha; why wouldn't it be a proper noun? It's basically a capitalization issue; any use of "Zord" should have a capital Z, and any use of "Megazord" should also be capitalized as such. Ryūlóng 02:03, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Filming Schdule

The filming schedule for MMPR-PRT was Monday-Fridays, 5AM-7:30 PM. However during the 1994-1995 season they shot on sundays till Austin, Thuy and Walter left then MON-WED they filmed the movie. After February 22nd, 1995, they went back to the regular times. Same thing for the Turbo movie filming. The shot ZEO's second half on Sundays till December 15th.70.185.125.101 08:15, 15 November 2006 (UTC) ``

Filming Location

I would like to see someone insert information about the location the show was shot, even if just listed at trivia. I recal the headquater's external shots looking like stock-footage of a well known structure is this correct?

It's mentioned at Power Chamber. The same building was used in a Star Trek episode, but anything outside of "it was filmed in southern California" is as unknown, until they moved to New Zealand.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 00:51, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

DVD

I think guides as to which episodes of all these series have appeared on DVD would be a good addition. Since Disney isn't likely to release full season sets anytime soon, this information would be both interesting and helpful. --CmdrClow 23:31, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Reason for St. John, Trang, and Jones leaving

This is an audio interview down with Austin St. John and Steve Cardenas. At 12:00 he explains that his mother got sick and he wasn't being paid enough to help her out, so he left along with Walter Jones and Thuy Trang.

I don't think I need anymore proof that this is a trustworthy source, seeing that it's an interview with Austin himself.

Image caption

I feel that my edit to the image caption of the image that shows the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers which specifies which Ranger is which is a good edit. I feel that "good enough" is not a reason for reverting it. Mythdon (talk) 05:53, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

It is unnecessary to list all of the characters within the image beyond the fact that the subject of the image directly is the Power Rangers group (which is probably a Zyuranger promotional photo anyway).—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 07:50, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
If it is a Zyuranger promotional photo, then why should we use it? Not that you said it is. Mythdon (talk) 08:05, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Zords in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers

I tried deleting the information on zords on this page and it was reverted and I was told this was vandalism. That was not my intent. It clearly states there is original research on this page, the Zords information being among the original research. Since deleting any Zord information on the main Mighty Morphin Power Rangers seems to be out of the question, I suggest deleting the Zords in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers article that is linked under the Zord section of this article. Is that page really necessary? We have the general information about the Zords on the main Mighty Morphin Power Rangers article, shouldn't that be enough? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.28.47.213 (talk) 07:10, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

There should be no deletion of any form of this information. You should not delete it from this page or the other one. All information comes directly from the show and is separate for a reason.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 07:43, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

I realize it was erroneous on my part to delete the zord information of this page. I only did it cause there was a link to a page with extensive information on the zords. Now I think the zord information on this page belongs here but the other article, despite being a wealth of information, has no references and seems like it would be better suited for a fan wiki. However, I have no intentions of trying to delete that other page myself, I figure it should be discussed first since a lot of hard work seems to have went into it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.28.47.213 (talk) 10:44, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

That's not how Wikipedia works.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 02:18, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
Does anyone know why the "Zords" pages were removed? Would there be any complaints about implementing a table which included which Zord went to who? I feel that its vital info to understand the show more if you look at this article. Lupercus (talk) 17:20, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
I got rid of them because it was not suitable for any sort of coverage on Wikipedia. It's useless fan minutae that has no reliable sources to stand on its own better suited for discussion in the character articles/lists or episode lists. This page is supposed to be about the TV show and giving a section on the giant robots is not suitable. And no tables, stop obsessing over those. This kind of shit was exactly found in the older tables that were completley unprofessional.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 04:17, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
Chill on the "table-hate". Sheesh. I wrote this comment before the other one. Man... people hate tables here... that should be an article. However, yes, I can agree that most Zord talk could be relegated to the character articles/lists. What if, as part of the cast list, it mentions the Zords there briefly? What do you think? Lupercus (talk) 19:12, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

Picture Error

In this article the picture titled "The six oringinal Power Rangers" is in correct. This is a picture of the Kyouryuu Sentai Zyuranger team from the Japanese show MMRP is based from. I think it would be in the best interest to try to find a fair use picture of the team from the American show.Toughguy223 (talk) 05:21, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

There were no shots of the six Rangers in American footage.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 19:15, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

But there are promotional materials including still shots of the American suits together as featured on the Shout! Factory dvds. You can easily tell the difference in the Dragon Shield and neck hoods. 174.101.148.12 (talk) 18:57, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

DVD Releases

Pink Ranger

Looking for some clarification here. Both Kim and Kat are listed as being the Pink Ranger and the Pink Ninja Ranger. To me, the Pink Ranger was before they received the Ninja powers and then after they would be called the Pink Ninja Ranger. Would you all agree? Lupercus (talk) 23:57, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Amy Jo Johnson was still a member of the cast during the Ninjazord season and there was a separate ninja transformation that they used.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 04:26, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
That's kinda what I was thinking... if it was based on the "ninja" costumes and then the power ranger outfits. Thanks. Lupercus (talk) 17:21, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

Article Clean Up - Consensus Request

Looking over all the articles for the Power Ranger TV Shows, I see a lot of inconsistency. I implemented this table to clean up the article and make it look nicer... easier on the eyes. It was reverted for this reason: "Tables are unprofessional and haven't been used on the English Wikipedia's Power Rangers articles for years now."

Actor Character Ranger
Austin St. John Jason Lee Scott Red (1st)
Walter Emanuel Jones Zack Taylor Black (1st)
David Yost Billy Cranston Blue (1st), Blue Ninja
Thuy Trang Trini Kwan Yellow (1st)
Amy Jo Johnson Kimberly Ann Hart Pink (1st), Pink Ninja (1st)
Jason David Frank Thomas "Tommy" Oliver Green, White, White Ninja
Steve Cardenas Rocky DeSantos Red (2nd), Red Ninja
Johnny Yong Bosch Adam Park Black (2nd), Black Ninja
Karan Ashley Aisha Campbell Yellow (2nd), Yellow Ninja
Catherine Sutherland Katherine "Kat" Hillard Pink (2nd), Pink Ninja (2nd)

Looking for a consensus that: 1. Tables are not unprofessional. Ask any business. 2. It's a much cleaner look than what is currently showing. Lupercus (talk) 17:20, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

No tables on these articles. Plenty of articles on television programs present the cast in a list format. We are not going back to tables.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 18:36, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for your input. That makes it a 1-1 vote... therefore, no consensus either way at this moment. Lupercus (talk) 18:41, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
Also, it is entirely unnecessary in your table to say what color their suit was. That should be covered by the article on the characters, or it should be dealt with in list-based prose as it is currently. And as a final note, Wikipedia is not run as a democracy. There are no votes. All discussions are weighed based on arguments put forward.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 18:44, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
It is not unnecessary in the table to include what Ranger they are. It says in the sentence there, so I retained the info. You are right... it is not a democracy, however, perhaps we should review WP:CONSENSUS and remember that 1 person does not dictate the final standing of an article. Lupercus (talk) 18:50, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
I know you think this works for the article, but there are just no tables for cast lists on this project, and Wikipedia previously had tables set up for these that were overly complex and colored and made to look pretty (you can still see these on other language projects and the fan wikias) and we're not going down that road again.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 18:54, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
Yes, I do believe it works for the article and I feel that all articles such as this (where there is quite a bit of info on 1 character) should be laid out in such a way. It's a much cleaner look and easy to understand. Personally, I think it looks messy as it is... especially the "Allies" and "Villians" sections. Too much wasted info... looks like garbage. And again, I'm looking for consensus. We have differing opinions. More people need to weigh in before this request can actually be denied based on consensus. Lupercus (talk) 19:03, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
It all needs to be scrapped for a proper cast section and list of characters page but it's too much work with the older series.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 19:08, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
I don't think I agree with that. It's only too much work if no one wants to do it. I'm gladly willing to edit things like this. Again, I feel the table is a much cleaner look, but if we can come to some sort of consensus on a different look that is still clean, I'm game. Lupercus (talk) 19:13, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
Table's not cleaner. Just make a cast section devoid of any character biographies.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 04:17, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

morphin?

What is Morphin? Does it mean "Morphing", like "Transform", "Shape-shifting", metamorphosis (From typical teenagers to Mighty Rangers)? Why, to confuse Children by Drug Words: Mighty Morphine and Super Heroin/e 84.95.230.168 (talk) 21:05, 12 April 2015 (UTC) Is it? REALLY, what is morphin? confusing.

What, seriously? Okay, first, yes, "Morphing" as in "changing shape." Also, it's not "a drug word," whatever that is—it's Greek for "shape" (ironic, that the abbreviation we use for "change" in English is the "shape" part of the word anyway—but that's people's use of language for you), unless, of course, you think that "metamorphosis" is also a "drug word." As for heroine/heroine, they're both descended from the Greek "heros," "heroine" in the feminine form of "hero" and "heroin" because it inspires great feelings as a hero—so really, the "drug word" heroin is instead named after the energetic feeling, which is more often the case with these things. For instance, a person who runs with great speed is not running simply to make use of the "drug word" "speed"—the drug is named after the feeling. --Akhenaten0 (talk) 18:57, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
Grammatically, it should be Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers ("morphing" without the g at the end), but no official source uses an apostrophe there as far as I can tell. Raymond1922 (talk) 22:40, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Proposal to merge 3 character articles into Mighty Morphin Power Rangers

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
The result of this discussion was merge Adam Park, keep for Tommy Oliver and no consensus for Bulk and Skull. I left a note below explaining my rationale. Happy editing! Alucard 16❯❯❯ chat? 19:12, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

Proposal made at Proposed mergers copied below. Join the discussion here! —A L T E R C A R I  ✍ 15:55, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

  • Merge Bulk and Skull, Adam Park and Tommy Oliver into Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. All three articles are barely sourced and mostly plot summary. The articles for the series in which they appeared in already mention them sufficiently. 69.118.34.223 (talk) 22:00, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
  • Merge Adam Park into Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Undecided on Tommy Oliver, as the other five of the original six currently have articles (whether or not that is appropriate, I'm not prepared to weigh in on). Slippery slope makes me also undecided on Bulk and Skull. JPG-GR (talk) 00:20, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep for Tommy He is the most prominent Ranger, appearing in more seasons then any other Ranger. And despite what nominator says, it's well sourced, with over 25 references, and has more than just plot in it. Weak merge on Bulk and Skull they appeared a lot, but the article doesn't really have much other than plot. Merge Adam Park Not a particularly notable character. JDDJS (talk) 02:22, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
    The number of appearances nor the amount of plot in the article determine notability but rather the coverage by reliable sources. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 18:04, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
    The article has over 20 reliable sources. JDDJS (talk) 18:12, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
  • Keep Tommy Oliver and Bulk and Skull since both have many references. Adam Park could be merged. --Frmorrison (talk) 15:04, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
  • (Seeing as Adam Park has already been merged) Keep Tommy Oliver since he's the most notable character in the entire franchise. Merge Bulk and Skull as just about everything that isn't plot summary can be better incorporated into the series pages. The problem with merging characters from the Zordon era though is that there isn't a "List of [Power Rangers series name] characters" page for anything pre-Lost Galaxy (meaning unless they have a standalone article, like Tommy Oliver does, there's no other place to put the plot summary). —Mythdon (トーク) 21:01, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
    Should a new article List of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers characters be considered for creation? Truthfully, besides Tommy Oliver and to a lesser extent, Rita Repulsa, none of the characters in this template seem article worthy. {{Power Rangers characters}} — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.118.34.185 (talk • contribs) 21:22, October 1, 2018 (UTC)
  • Since this discussion was open for over a year I went ahead and closed it but wanted to explain my decision a bit more in detail:
     Already done The article Adam Park was already merged on May 11, 2018‎ by Lithopsian and the consensus was in agreement.
     Not done There was a strong consensus to keep the article Tommy Oliver based on the discussion.
     Not done While Bulk and Skull falls in line with how the article Adam Park was pre-merge there wasn't a clear enough consensus to merge this article as with Adam Park. A quick search for the Power Rangers from MMPR through at least Zeo turns up reliable sources that can be used to expand these character articles that would satisfy WP:GNG and WP:NFICT.
    It might help to take a look at some other fictional character articles like Akane Tsunemori and Shinya Kogami from the anime Psycho-Pass or even video game character articles like Mario to get an idea of layout and how to build out the Reception section to establish notability for the Power Ranger characters that currently have their own standalone articles. Its also recommended to review MOS:TV#Character article structure. Alucard 16❯❯❯ chat? 19:12, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Merger proposal

Formal request has been received to merge the articles Zack Taylor, Trini Kwan, Kimberly Hart, Jason Lee Scott, Billy Cranston and Zordon into Mighty Morphin Power Rangers; dated: June 2019. Proposer's Rationale: The characters' articles are almost all plot and have little to no references. Whatever little information is needed fits into the "Characters" section of the series article. Pinging proposer @96.232.112.252:. Discuss here. Richard3120 (talk) 22:10, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

  • Oppose they are independently notable and can be improved as standalone articles Atlantic306 (talk) 22:58, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
  • Oppose I personally think each of these characters are meet Wikipedia's notability standards for fiction and can and should be separate articles. These pages could use improvement, no doubt, but there are plenty of verifiable and reliable sources out there about these individual characters and the articles could easily be expanded and improved. The fact that the quality of the articles are currently lacking are not adequate reasons to delete/merge them, and there is no deadline for when such improvements need to take place... — Hunter Kahn 16:09, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
  • Oppose The rangers deserve there own sections.Same reasons as mentioned above.Timur9008 (talk) 18:11, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
  • oppose. J4lambert (talk) 14:23, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
