The result of the debate was keep or merge as per Wikipedia:Pokeprosal. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 21:13, 30 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, Pokécruft ;-) Stancel 17:58, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep pokemon, also has 5,040 Google hits. Pokemon might not be your cup of tea, but we have far more obscure stuff here on WP. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 20:24, May 19, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep the Pokécruft. Ketsuban has spoken. The debate is over. 20:58, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Oh, and Nincada has the coolest evolution ever, so it's a no-brainer that it should be kept. Ketsuban has spoken. The debate is over. 21:05, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge as per developing consensus at Wikipedia:Pokeprosal. --Carnildo 23:27, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- keep, and allow to evolve. Kappa 23:32, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Into Shedinja! Shedinja is cool. =D ...sorry Ketsuban has spoken. The debate is over. 00:27, 20 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. The Pokeproposal deals with articles that are only tables. This article has text. Meelar (talk) 00:14, May 20, 2005 (UTC)
- My reading of the proposal says that this is not the case. Also, there is no information in text, or in the entire article, that is relevant to someone who doesn't play Pokemon. --Yoshi348 01:12, May 20, 2005 (UTC)
- What information is there in Playstation 3 to someone who doesn't play video games? In Jesus to someone who doesn't care about Christianity? In British Columbia general election, 2005 to someone who doesn't live in British Columbian? Just because there are people who the information wouldn't be relevant to, doesn't mean it needs to be deleted. Ketsuban has spoken. The debate is over. 01:53, 20 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't recommend delete, but merge. In any case, 1) Jesus' teachings have such a profound impact on Western culture that he severly impacts even non-Christians and 2) Nincada has little relevance even within the Pokemon world, unlike the PS3 in the gaming world and British Columbia elections in British Columbia. Maybe you're obssessed with his evolution, but he really isn't much more important than any other Pokemon, and the article really can't expand past stub format without either being trivia or something that belongs on GameFAQs rather than Wikipedia. --Yoshi348 17:03, May 20, 2005 (UTC)
- All Pokemon have relevance in the Pokemon world. And yes, I may be a bit obsessed with Shedinja, but as Shedinja is one of the more unique Pokemon, I'd say that it and its family do have relevance in the Pokemon world. Ketsuban has spoken. The debate is over. 19:57, 20 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

There's unfortunately not an emerged consensus on Wikipedia:Pokeprosal that I can see, but there's no way in heck a listing of every single Pokemon is appropriate per WP:FICT. However, highly oppose deletion as opposed to merge. Problem is there's discussion on what the merged article should be called. Weak Keep until Pokeprosal is finished. --Yoshi348 01:08, May 20, 2005 (UTC)- Delete, poke cruft. Megan1967 07:12, 20 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge and delete. However cool the critter's evolution is, it should get thrown on the list with all the other largely irrelevant pokecruft. -- Scimitar
- Just because you think something is irrelevant doesn't mean everyone agrees with you. Ketsuban has spoken. The debate is over. 20:57, 23 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: This article is part of a sequence of 387 articles, some only in stub stages, others are full articles. This sequence is part of the Pokémon project, which is an active project.User142 11:36, 24 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Quale 20:10, 24 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Unfair use of VFD on Pokemon articles. Don't list articles on VFD to make a point (see WP:POINT). Andros 1337 19:41, 25 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
