Ultraman King

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This character does not establish notability independent of Ultraman through the inclusion of real world information from reliable, third party sources. Most of the information is made up of overly in-depth plot details better suited to Wikia. There is no current assertion for future improvement of the article, so extended coverage is unnecessary.

Comment. Ultraman King got some press because of who played him. For example: TIME, The Telegraph, and Reuters. I don't know if this conclusively establishes notability, as these articles are more about the actor than the character, but it's something to consider. I'm leaning toward keep on this one, but I'd be curious to hear further debate on the matter. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 20:55, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's already covered in the casting section of Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy, and it seems more relevant to that overall, especially with some of the quotes in those links. If there is other information unrelated to that one film available, it could potentially be viable, but the current info seems to be more suited to the film.

That's true; it does seem debatable for whom/what those articles have established notability: the film, the acting credentials of the PM, or the character. I guess it's more the case of the first two than the character itself. If that's the case, then maybe the character isn't independently notable of the series or the actor.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
