Toei 100 Great Hero Super Fight

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A completely non-notable direct-to-video movie from the 1980s in Japan. There are no sources to support its notability other than showing it existed. There were previously citations on the article, but they were merely used to show that a particular entry on the list had an English language title. —Ryūlóng (琉竜) 17:45, 11 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect for now to List of superhero productions created by Toei. In the meantime, userfy article to author so that proper sources toward the video may be added under WP:WIP and WP:IMPERFECT. Article can be returned to mainspace after improvement. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 15:17, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It's not even a valid search term for that list though. It's an esoteric direct to video movie.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 04:41, 14 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Direct-to-video is not always a negative term, and the title is searchable... {though nothing I would look for myself ). However, we send readers to where it makes sense to learn of the Toei heroes when a video does not meet WP:NF. No biggy, but redirects are cheap and it's within policy to help readers.

Google's showing me all of 7 results for this search. Redirects may be cheap but they're not always necessary. It's not a valid search term on Wikipedia to get to the list of Toei superheroes. It shouldn't even be listed in the list-related deletion discussions as it's not intended to be a list unto itself. Wikipedia is better off without the page in any form.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 04:43, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, czar ♔ 18:09, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect - as above. I am persuaded by the suggestion that the title is an unlikely search term but the article does seem to have had at least some page views since creation (even if we disregard the spike toward the start which likely related to creation). I don't know... we certainly shouldn't have an article but I'm inclined to think a redirect would be okay. We can always delete that later if it turns out not to be of any use.
