The result was Delete - Consensus is that the topic does not meet the general notability guidelines. Background - On November 15, 1999, Burger King began to sell six different 23-karat collectible gold-plated Pokemon trading cards (Pokémon gold cards) for $1.99, with the purchase of its "value meals." -- Jreferee t/c 07:24, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gold pokemon cards

Provides virtually no information, does not utilize capitalization, page title should have been "Gold Pokémon cards" (note the accent and the capitalization). I doubt there's anything in here that couldn't be better represented in the article Pokémon Trading Card Game. —Remember the dot (talk) 04:38, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

  • This article is a valuable addition to wikipedia. Not. Delete per nom and delete speedily.--Mkativerata 04:47, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge to the Pokemon Trading Card Game. Though it'll need sourcing. -WarthogDemon 04:50, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge to Pokemon TCG per user:WarthogDemon. Other TCG's have special "shiny" cards and this one (if exists) isn't unique.--Lenticel (talk) 07:20, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge per WarthogDemon Pumpmeup 09:54, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Is there really anything to merge? The entire article consists of two sentences: "gold pokemon cards are rare pokemon cards made of metal. they have a golden coler ans are very shiny." —Remember the dot (talk) 00:29, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Point taken. Though it still should be included if and when references can be found and can be sourced. -WarthogDemon 23:25, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment The thought occurs to me that this article is referring to the promotional 24k gold-plated Pokemon cards sold by Burger King as part of one of their promotions for the Pokemon movies, which was more like a brick than a card, rather than an actual trading card. shoy 14:47, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
