The result was redirect‎__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__ to Metal Hero Series. This was mentioned as a possible ATD in an editor's comments. I don't think the third relisting was warranted. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 07:42, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Appears to fail WP:NTV and WP:GNG. Tagged for notability since 2022. Other language articles do not have sufficient citations to support notability. DonaldD23 talk to me 12:56, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Currently, every one of the 18 series listed at Metal Hero Series has an article; even if nothing significant were found this should end up as a redirect to that article rather than a delete. I haven't looked carefully, but the Japanese Wikipedia article has 102 footnotes and 17 book references listed. As a nationally broadcast show with 50 episodes that was also released in several foreign languages (Chinese, Tagalog, Indonesian, Thai), this seems likely to be notable. In general I still don't believe that the drive to delete nationally televised series from Japan is productive (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joker: Yurusarezaru Sōsakan, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rasen (TV series), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kekkon Dekinai Otoko, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kagerō no Tsuji: Inemuri Iwane Edo Zōshi, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Love of My Life (Japanese TV series) from this editor).

Comment: As Dekimasu says, the corresponding :ja:特捜エクシードラフト page has 65 citations, and 17 items in the bibliography. Did the nominator evaluate those, per WP:BEFORE and WP:NEXIST? Just saying "other language articles do not have sufficient citations" isn't really enough to dismiss all of those citations. Toughpigs (talk) 19:06, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
:I looked at them. Most are BLOGS, Episode Guides, hobby guides, other encyclopedias, broadcast channel pages, and guidebooks. None of those are notable, independent, and in-depth. Just because a page has a lot of references does not mean they are good enough to support notability. WP:REFBOMB. Did YOU assess the citations?? DonaldD23 talk to me 19:17, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
::I had not, that's why I asked if you had. Thanks for your explanation. Toughpigs (talk) 19:24, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
