- Delete non notable future television show Mayalld (talk) 14:35, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: Info on this show has just surfaced with a URL to the first major info source and interview with the main cast. Furthermore, an offical page has been found. Fractyl (talk) 14:37, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: This is a sequel to a notable Japanese television series. The fact that it has already been featured in a third-party medium (the Mainichi is a major news distributor in Japan) means that it is notable. In fact, Mayalld, you put this page up for AFD 4 minutes after it was created.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 21:02, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Info is a bit sparse, but even someone who doesn't think it deserves its own article yet should agree a merge to the prequel until it does is a good idea. - Mgm|(talk) 00:26, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge and/or redirect: notability there but not significant enough to have its own article. JamesBurns (talk) 02:27, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep Having machine-translated the sources and asked around a bit, the first two appear to be very reliable sources, so this article would meet the basic notability guideline; as the show nears its premiere, more information should come out on sources of increasing reliability. Leave it for now, and if nothing seems to be pending after several weeks, then maybe a merge would be in order. Hersfold (t/a/c) 08:32, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: I don't believe a show should be called non-notable when it's the sequel to one that is, when the sources that have announced it are fine under WP:V, and when it's already steamrolling a lot of discussion among both Japanese and global fans. Per Hersfold's comment, as a user with a small bit of experience in keeping up with Japanese TV, I can guarantee more information will drop within several weeks, as Japanese news/magazines like to promote things like this (and especially tokusatsu shows) like hotcakes.

- Keep: per Ryulong. I would like to note that this article was created after offical reliable sources were put in(Same goes for Decade and Shinkenger) --Numyht (talk) 20:51, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Quoting from WP:CRYSTAL: Individual scheduled or expected future events should only be included if the event is notable and almost certain to take place. If preparation for the event is not already in progress, speculation about it must be well documented. This would seem to pass that guideline. The only future events we have more detailed instructions for is films, and while we don't have confirmation that principle filming has begun (which is what WP:NFF wants), if it's airing in three months enough pre-production work must have been done to look like an equivalent has been met here. Altogether, this is a keep. —Quasirandom (talk) 23:04, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
