One-line article about a fictional city mentioned in a Pokémon videogame. --Nehwyn 19:35, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

*Delete. There isn't enough information about the city to make it into a decent article. -Amarkov babble 20:43, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep a series of articles is being brewed about the Shin'ou region whose games, Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, were released on 9/28 in Japan. We won't have many sources until next year, but sites like serebii.net offer enough information to keep all these articles (Futaba Town, Masago Town, Kotobuki City, Kurogane City, etc.) afloat. We actually have better articles than Bulbapedia at this point, where their town articles are stubs ("Blah blah blah City is a town in Shin'ou"). We can expand with items about Diamond and Pearl from reliable sources (which we already have). We also have town articles for other regions, too: Verdanturf Town, Blackthorn City, Celadon City. Get the facts before you nominate anything. TTV (MyTV|PolygonZ|Green Valley) 20:49, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, the article is in bad shape. I will have to clean this up. TTV (MyTV|PolygonZ|Green Valley) 20:51, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- And more of them have come online: Template:Pokémon Game Locations shows it. TTV (MyTV|PolygonZ|Green Valley) 20:58, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete/merge, certainly not notable enough for it's own article. Consider merging them all into List of Pokemon locations or something similar.--Andeh 20:59, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- We have articles on all the towns individually from past regions. Shin'ou will be no different for WP:PCP. TTV (MyTV|PolygonZ|Green Valley) 21:11, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep There appears to be some precedent for having Pokemon towns, which I suppose makes sense as we have many other articles on fictional locations. Needs expansion though. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 22:04, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete and listify per Andeh. I note TTV's comment, but the others should be listified too. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 04:23, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: This debate has been added to the list of CVG deletions. -- moe.RON talk | done | doing 22:10, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Discuss whether we need articles or lists on the Project Talk Page, and work per consensus. --The Raven's Apprentice (Talk|Contribs) 05:50, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge. The various towns and locations really can't sustain their own articles; it's going to be all game-guide and plot summary. I can't really imagine any encyclopedic value, but I can't really imagine ever being able to form a delete consensus. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 05:53, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge - Individual articles = BAD idea. The Kinslayer 10:54, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- merge this makes most sense per wp:fict and precednts Yuckfoo 01:52, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- We have precedents, and we use them. TTV (MyTV|PolygonZ|Green Valley) 04:19, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Please, also consider that the fact that similar articles exist is no proof of notability for this one. Also, even though my nomination is for deletion, I do think that merge & listify is definitely a better option. --Nehwyn 07:03, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Except the argument is not that they exist, so this one should automatically. The argument is that those HAVE lots of information, so this one will, too. And I'd love to see someone try to stuff all the Kanto city articles into one page. -Amarkov babble 14:04, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per Starblind or merge. Honestly, we don't need AfD to resolve this. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 10:44, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Yes you say that a lot, but guess what? People disagree with prods and here we are! The Kinslayer 10:46, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Do mass merges of short articles on locations into List of Johto locations, List of Hoenn locations, and List of Shin'ou locations, similar to the format of List of Kanto locations. --Gray PorpoisePhocoenidae, not Delphinidae 15:42, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge. The existence of other Pokemon towns in Wikipedia may establish a precedent for describing them within the encyclopedia, but it does not establish a precedent for giving them all individual articles. If there isn't enough to say to justify a full article, merge it. It can easily be broken out into a separate article later on if the merged article becomes unwieldy. — Haeleth Talk 18:17, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Time will heal all wounds for this article, because within 6 months, we'll have an article the strength of our other regions' town articles, because we'll have Nagisa in the anime as well. Plus, it will be a bit more verifiable if they change it around. TTV (MyTV|PolygonZ|Green Valley) 23:17, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Good... then merge the article now, and in 6 months' time, if there is indeed so much material that the merged article is too long, split it. --Nehwyn 06:27, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
