We argued fiercely over including Rampage before The Rock started billing it as a kaiju movie. I don't remember its tiny wiki being a factor though.

To SlimerJoel, I'll point out that we do have a Pokémon page to chronicle its many connections with the kaiju genre (though it could use some work). Pokémon also enjoys an extremely robust wiki in Bulbapedia, it's much easier to cover one Monster Hunter movie than 24 Pokémon movies, and the military elements in Monster Hunter bring it more in line with kaiju eiga.

To Gorogera, I'll admit there's no basis for The Host being on this site other than "it's one of the most critically-acclaimed Asian monster movies ever." Other Korean movies with similarly-sized monsters have never been under serious consideration. Jellyfish Eyes is a clear-cut kaiju movie though, and the Gareth Edwards connection makes Monsters a must. Recurring actors like Ron Perlman, however, shouldn't influence what movies we cover.

To Les, die mad about Mega Shark. :P

The responses to the Monster Hunter thread I started on their wiki were not inspiring. Unfortunately, with COVID-19 cases erupting around the world, it might be a while before any of us can actually watch this movie and render judgment.
