The first AFD back in November 2007 was closed as redirect to List of Power Rangers Wild Force episodes. Since then, it has been restored and reverted numerous times for a variety of reasons. Some think we should stick to the first AFD consensus while others believe it is a notable episode and that AFD no longer plays. I do not find this notable enough for a standalone article. The plot is excessively long and the production section is nothing but trivia and fancruft. Sad to say that kids' shows' episodes lack things adult shows' episodes would normally have to merit an individual article like pre-production info, ratings, viewership, and awards or recognitions for the actors, directors etc. Many other Power Ranger episode articles like Countdown to Destruction and Once a Ranger have been redirected and/or merged to the main TV show articles, so I do not see why this one cannot since the important content here can be added to either Power Rangers Wild Force or the episode list article. I would have done a WP:BOLD merge or redirect had it not been for the sock puppetry involved. The Legendary Ranger (talk) 00:50, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

- Delete I suggest delete on the basis of WP:Notability, there may be coverage on this but not from reliable secondary sources (that I could find) I have no doubt that a wiki of this depth exists for Power rangers, but it isn't encyclopedic in notability.

- Redirect to List of Power Rangers Wild Force episodes (with the history preserved under the redirect) in lieu of deletion.
Preserving the history will allow the redirect to be easily undone if in the future editors find sources that establish notability. Furthermore, a redirect will allow the content to be used in List of Power Rangers Wild Force episodes if any editors wants to do a selective merge.
