Extensive list of in-universe items unnecessary for a general encyclopedia. There is nothing here that would make a general reader's experience better. Each series' robots can easily be summarized in the main articles. References are entirely primary from what I can see. As it's all in-universe, I see no information worth merging. The concept of a "Zord" could potentially be notable, but I see nothing in this article that would be worthwhile to salvage in making a general article on the topic.

  • Delete- sprawling, badly sourced fancruft written in an in-universe style. I'm not seeing any useful content that could be merged anywhere. Reyk YO! 06:49, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
  • Keep. Unlike the ones for planets and races, this list meets WP:LISTN due to being "discussed as a group or set by [these] independent reliable sources" [https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/power-rangers-all-34-megazords-in-the-tv-shows-his/2900-1087/] [https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/power-rangers-the-21-best-and-worst-zords/2900-2220/] [https://www.geek.com/television/10-coolest-zords-in-25-years-of-power-rangers-1751088/] [https://comicbook.com/powerrangers/2017/08/15/ranking-the-10-best-power-rangers-megazords/].

  • Delete Nope, calling up a bunch of top-10 lists isn't going to make this notable.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 13:04, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

:{{re|zxcvbnm}} Which is why I had to do a second WP:BEFORE and selectively unearth these out of dozens: [https://www.cbr.com/power-rangers-dragon-zord-secrets/] [https://comicbook.com/movies/2017/03/14/power-rangers-zords-facts/] [https://www.cinemablend.com/news/1537130/will-the-power-rangers-movie-include-the-zords-heres-what-the-cast-says] [https://comicbook.com/powerrangers/2017/10/14/austin-st-john-power-rangers-issues-zords/] [https://www.comingsoon.net/movies/features/828681-power-rangers-zords-guide]. And I wasn't even done yet. Of course, I'll let you do your WP:BEFORE on "zord" and "megazord" FoxyGrampa75 (talk) 14:49, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

::WP:GNG requires "significant mentions" in reliable sources. Articles with small factoids or ones that merely mention the topic don't qualify. That is just a WP:REFBOMB with many insignificant sources.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 15:58, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

::*[https://www.cbr.com/power-rangers-dragon-zord-secrets/] is about and discusses the Dragon Zord of MMPR.

::*[https://www.cinemablend.com/news/1537130/will-the-power-rangers-movie-include-the-zords-heres-what-the-cast-says] is about the cast's reactions on whether or not the then-upcoming Power Rangers film would have the zords - out-of-universe info.

::*[https://comicbook.com/powerrangers/2017/10/14/austin-st-john-power-rangers-issues-zords/] is about PR actor Austin St. John and the film's director Dean Israelite's out-of-universe discussion about the Zords in the 2017 movie, no joke about the Chia Pets part. Yeah, the last two are related to the movie so if this is deleted, I'll put the sources there. FoxyGrampa75 (talk) 16:11, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

  • Delete, Per nom. article does not have much for the reader.15:45, 18 September 2019 (UTC)Alex-h (talk)
  • Keep, as stated before it meets the Wikipedia requirements. Also has plenty of primary and secondary citation sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rick lay95 (talkcontribs)
  • Delete as fancruft. Almost entirely sourced to powerrangers.com, which appears to be a non-WP:RS fan site. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:01, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
