I can tell you didn't actually read them from that response:

"4. Do not add information to pages which hasn't been confirmed. If we suspect the information is false, it will be reverted, and repeat offenders will risk a block."

While the videos do exist, it isn't common knowledge. It also looks fan-made which we do not cover. The fact that it is legitimate can be covered by citing an acceptable source, which did not happen. "Factual" postings without citations, which are not common knowledge makes it false by definition and grounds for reversion or removal - which i did not do in this case, despite having every reason to do so. Notwithstanding that the "ranger" pages have no actual content on them and are just spam pages.

"5. If information is confirmed, do not post it without a citation. The Dino Charge page was initially deleted for this reason, because no citations were given to support the validity of the information. When providing a source for spellings, we'll need two unless the source is the show itself. We don't want any more mistakes caused by merchandise errors, such as Kluger on the Dekaranger bluray instead of Kruger. Here is a list of acceptable sources, and some which are not permitted (and why they are not permitted). Failure to abide by this rule will result in a minimum 3-month block due to constant abuse.

Most people do not follow the YouTube channel, and with no promotion would have absolutely no knowledge these videos exist. Therefore, without citations their validity and factuality would be brought into question and thus be grounds for removal. Someone unaware of the videos will look at them and potentially see what appears to be a fan-made project. Based on policy, I should have not only deleted the information but also issued a 3 month block for failure to cite - caused by too many instances like this where people were disregarding the rules and ignoring Administrator reminders to follow the rules. I did neither this time - but had every reason to.

"8. Always cite images uploaded from RangerCrew and other sites by selecting the correct licensing template in the upload page. This gives credit to the owner of the image, who likely only asks for credit in return for its use. Images without such licensing will be deleted on sight."

Absolutely no credit was given when you uploaded the videos to the wiki (which shouldn't have happened), though giving credit would lend some sense of credibility to their existence.

Also bear in mind that just because something isn't written in the rules does not explicitly mean it is acceptable or appropriate. We should not have to write a comprehensive list of everything that is or is not allowed, or we would be here all day resulting in a book being written. We don't host videos here for a reason - if YouTube or Vimeo or whomever takes them down, then we have dead pages.

Another thing to consider is that it amounts to 4 videos of under 2 minutes each - it's not a season, and doesn't get the full treatment like seasons do. Making a page for each character, with virtually no information aside from a little Infobox information, is just creating unnecessary pages and is considered spam. The best method to convey the information and its existence is as Digifiend now has it - on a single page.

Do keep in mind that based on wiki policy, I had every reason to delete the entirety of the submission - however I opted instead to give a limited time frame for it to be justified.
