Zords

Currently, there are three megazords divided into nine zords. In the fall, there will be another three piece megazord that will combine with the others three megazords to make a twelve piece megazord. This might break the record of most pieced "gattai" since the Drivemax Ultrazord (Ultimate Daibouken) from PROO has a ten piece zord. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.136.158.29 (talk) 16:46, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speculation until it appears in Sentai and its still speculation until its actually shown in power rangers (they may not incorperate it after all) 81.132.46.53 (talk) 23:37, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Title per Trademarks?

IMO the trademark citations are pretty good evidence of a tentative title. That is, however, IMO OR. Isn't the proper approach to say something along the lines of

Power Rangers: RPM is a planned series of the long-running ...

No title has been announced, but industry speculation has adopted the RPM suffix as a presumed working title in response to trademark registrations by ....

with appropriate refs to verify that the industry buzz exists? We should be reporting what others have concluded is likely, not expressing our opinion of what is likely, as the citation of the trademark filings implies we have done.

Well, around this time last year, the US Trademark Office had the Jungle Fury trademarks up, and the trademarks clearly state what they are for. But this rewording could be good.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 21:02, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We don't exclude OR for being false, but for failing to represent established knowledge. Wherever you learned about the trademarks is probably the ref we want.

Proposed deletion

I personally object to any deletion of this page, as it makes little sense; it certainly doesn't fit the requirements for a speedy deletion, at any rate. Reasons given for the deletion nomination include being "blatantly speculative; violates WP:OR, WP:V and WP:CRYSTAL", but these are spurious. This is 2009's season for a popular media franchise, and the article has seven citations all noting trademarks for the show have been filed and that filming begins this month. Speculation/original research doesn't exist in this article; it's all about something that is established as existing and does not lie or add speculatory information about its nature (except maybe the line about Go-onger images showing up at the Toy Fair, which did happen, but needs a suitable citation). Verifiability is taken care of by the numerous citations. WP:CRYSTAL would apply if there were speculation in the article about what the show would consist of, other than the fact that it will pull footage from Engine Sentai Go-onger, but the article does not include that (and PR season articles never do, as most editors actively make sure to pull any information like that out when added). This article is, put simply, a stub that can benefit from being filled out (something that will be slow-going until the official website, promos, and toys begin hitting TV/store shelves between now and the assumed February 2009 startdate). But it makes no sense whatsoever to delete. Arrowned (talk) 01:37, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's all guesswork; there is no official confirmation that a show is even going to be filmed (the Australian article is from a political silly-season roundup article). This is why we have WP:CRYSTAL around, to put a lid on this kind of speculation. Saban has filed for trademarks; so what? That's what they do. They may be planning to make a series in 2011 or something; they may be making a new season of one of the previous versions of the franchise. We don't know. If it can't be verified, it doesn't belong here. --Orange Mike | Talk 02:28, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Everything is confirmed, including by that silly Aussie article. The trademarks would not be put in place for something three years from now, and there are never new seasons of old footage. Everything is verified, and everything should belong in the article as it stands.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 02:37, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm adding a second citation from the New Zealand Film and Video Technicians' Guild that should remove any more doubt that a new season of PR begins filming this month. Arrowned (talk) 03:14, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Confirmed details" section

When we start editing this article regularly, i feel it is better not to include the "Confirmed details" section as it is unprofessional. Anybody agree?. Mythdon (talk) 03:23, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Any "confirmed details" as they were put on the Jungle Fury article stemmed from factual and sourced information about the contents of the show, either through news agencies or toy catalogues or other items. Similar information would have a place on this article as well.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 04:40, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

But as far as you feel, would the similar information be in its own section or at the introduction of the article?. Mythdon (talk) 05:13, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It depends on what the information entails.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 06:09, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. By the way, do you feel that "Confirmed details" sections are unprofessional in any way, shape or form?. Mythdon (talk) 08:23, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Moving article

We previously put it at "Power Rangers: RPM" due to that being what it was trademarked under, but fully expected it to eventually be moved to "R.P.M." as the franchise has set periods in acronyms as a precedence courtesy of S.P.D. Now that R.P.M. is shown with periods on the toy boxes, it's safe to move. This is just a note signifying why the move was made. Arrowned (talk) 04:12, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary redirects

I have created the following redirects this article for now:

I created them as temporary redirects until we gather enough information for them to exist as articles. Do any of you approve of this?. Mythdon (talk • contribs) 09:57, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 21:08, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Johnny Yong Bosch as Adam Park the Blue Lion Ranger

I know this isn't meant to be here. I don't know why but some people stated Johnny Yong Bosch/Adam Park would be the Blue Ranger of Power Rangers: RPM. I guess I should go change it (To Be Bold) unless they have any source which I doubt they have. 121.120.109.177 (talk) 16:13, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
