Like most 'monster of the week' non-recurring villains, there isn't sufficient coverage of this character to meet WP:GNG. A merge to List of Ultraman monsters is perhaps in order, but I really don't see the point of moving a chunk of uncited plot summary from one page to another (also entirely uncited) page.

Delete as non-notable. Redirect seems pointless. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:34, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Redirects are cheap and in this instance will lead readers to the information they seek rather than inspiring them to recreate this article. - Dravecky (talk) 14:20, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, a redirect won't hurt anything. Usually I favor trying to find a redirect, but we're talking about a character who showed up once in an old TV show. Does anyone ever search for this? Should we make redirects for every Scooby Doo villain from the 60s and 70s? What about all the various minor antagonists of Doctor Who or Star Trek? At some point, a line has to be drawn. I'm not opposed to a redirect (they are cheap), but I'm beginning to think that these hordes of Ultra Series articles simply don't belong here in any form. I'm unconvinced that anyone is ever going to search for this term, which is backed up by stats.grok.se. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 18:15, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
