A Godzilla kaiju who has two major film roles. Despite in universe notability, the character is an all-plot article, and a search yields very little in terms of developmental info and reception. From what I can tell, there just doesn't seem to be enough out there to justify this article's existence. A possible AtD would be a redirect to King Kong Escapes, which seems to be Gorosaurus' biggest movie role. Pokelego999 (talk) 02:51, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to King Kong Escapes - Only had two appearances that were more than simple cameos/stock footage use, and searches do not turn up anything that are not just summaries of those appearances, or churnalism "Top Ten Kaiju that could appear in the Monsterverse!" style lists. The corresponding article on the Japanese wiki appears to be better sourced, but it looks like those sources are almost entirely just different editions of various "Godzilla Encyclopedias" and are supporting very little outside of plot summaries of his(?) two appearances.

Delete/redirect per Rorshacma. Tertiary sources don't meet standards of WP:V, WP:RS, and WP:SIGCOV. Articles need significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Shooterwalker (talk) 03:34, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
