The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant English-language coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:54, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

- Merge to
List of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles characters. Notable within the fiction and worth including a minimum of information on this list.

- Just a note that they are already there:
List_of_Teenage_Mutant_Ninja_Turtles_characters#Purple_Dragons. And not a single reference... --

- I saw there one sentence entry, which I think should be expanded to include real-world information like which incarnations of the TMNT they've appeared in. On a character list like that, I see no issue with using primary references. Argento Surfer ( talk) 14:28, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

- Keep - Let this page stay. They are recurring enemies of the
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and have different media appearances like the
Foot Clan. If it is merge, the memberships for each one will have to be added to the page in question. --

- Being a recurring character is not a valid criteria, see NFICTION/GNG. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:15, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
- Redirect/merge to List of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles characters per Argento Surfer. Clearly fails notability as a standalone article. The article is more fitting for Wikia/FANDOM. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 16:35, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
- Redirect/merge to List of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles characters per above. The current article contains no actual reliably sourced material, so the merge should be fairly minimal, but expanding the section in the target article beyond the single sentence currently there would not be a bad idea.

- Redirect to List of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles characters#Purple Dragons. The one sentence they currently have is due weight enough considering their relevance to the series as a whole. Devonian Wombat ( talk) 05:20, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
