Not all lists are of encyclopedic value; this is one of them. It's nothing more than a list of original research with the usual way-too-extensive descriptions, over 80k of it. There are no secondary sources, which isn't surprising since the main article, Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger, also has no proper secondary sources. The redirect I placed was reverted without explanation by someone who probably doesn't know we're an encyclopedia, not Wikia. Deletion with a redirect is the proper solution.

- Delete: does not meet WP:LISTN; largely unsourced original research. K.e.coffman ( talk) 02:19, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
The piece in question is a work of fiction, thus it is hard to find sources outside main sites. Alas, most of the "original research" comes from events from the show in question itself, and the character list contains very little data in relation to its own wikia, which is far more detailed, and all list of characters related to Tokusatsu are similar, so why bother deleting this one in particular?

- All articles, even those about fictional works/characters, need to meet WP:GNG by receiving enough coverage from third-party and reliable sources to warrant a separate article. Aoba47 ( talk) 22:04, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
