[edit] Criticism of Pokémon

Criticism of Pokémon (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article just repeats things originally stated in the main Pokemon article, and Criticism articles are unencyclopedic since they're made up of opinions. Plus, the rest of it's not referenced. Zxcvbnm 23:35, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete, unreferenced and redundant, no need to even merge. "Criticism of x" is, per nom, total OR. Ten Pound Hammer • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 23:49, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment While it doesn't apply to this article, "Criticism of X" articles are not necessarily WP:OR or unencyclopedic. If the "opinions" are sourced to reliable sources, they're not WP:OR. If the criticisms are relevant to X's notability, then they're encyclopedic. And if the criticism of X is so extensive that WP:SUMMARY comes into play, you then have a "Criticism of X" article that is perfectly valid and encyclopedic. Anomie 00:36, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Having read the talk page of the Pokemon article, there doesn't seem to be anyone opposition to the Criticism section. So, the "criticism" article isn't content forking, as its original part is just so long, you'd might as well have a spinoff.--Kylohk 01:09, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
The verifiable content of the article is still too small to justify making a spinoff.--Zxcvbnm 02:05, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as redundant, also violates WP:NOR and WP:V Rackabello 03:23, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:PTEST. --JayHenry 05:09, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
