So, the Encyclopedia does include some live action shows, but I've notice that while there are a number of entries for Kamen Rider (though nowhere near all), Super Sentai is distinctly missing. Should we enter them in (as even a few Japanese schedule sites group anime and tokusatsu together)?

Also, what about the missing Kamen Rider series? Discounting the movies, netmovies, and v-cinema entries, there's still a number of entries missing. Randomly Decade (DCD) is there, but it's the only of the newest 7 series to be listed. And then there's the 35 Super Sentai titles, which are arguably more well known in the US than Kamen Ridedr, thanks to Power Rangers.

For live action to qualify for an entry it needs to be connected to an anime. The discussion here is relevant:

In that case... I'm questioning why most of the KR entries are on there. I know there's a couple anime (one of which is connected to an unlisted series, Den-O), and a manga, but I know Decade doesn't have connection to any anime or manga.

Because they were added years before that post by someone who thought they belonged is the only response I can give. Other than http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Other_stuff_exists
