[edit] Pokémon theme songs

Pokémon theme songs (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

A list of theme songs isn't that important. Lots of shows have many theme songs and so on, it doesn't mean it's notable (or even important enough to non-fans of the show) to be here. Listcruft better suited for a Pokemon wiki. RobJ1981 19:41, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

• Keep. I say this because of the fact that, generally, a musician is deemed notable if they performed a theme song, and as the song is making them notable, then the song is notable too. Keeping them all in one place is much better than having a batch of one-line stubs. The theme songs are important, and there is obviously too much information there to have it in the Pokémon article. And no, I am not a Pokémon fanboy. Shame the article is unsourced. J Milburn 20:25, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

• Keep, There's a difference between being not notable and "most won't care". Do I care? No, but theme songs are not on the same level as say.. List of pretty dresses that BlahBlah wore. People write, sing, and produce these songs, even if it's just for a kids show. I know it's a gray area for a lot of this stuff, and maybe theme songs is floating on that gray area, but we don't seem to have an issue with massive theme song listings and I can see how they are notable. -- Ned Scott 03:36, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
• Merge, seems to me these ought to be attached to the main Pokemon anime series article. Lots of anime have a long string of different openings and closings (Maison Ikkoku springs to mind), but they don't require an entire separate music article. Take out the pics and this is quite the stub of an article. Snarfies 03:46, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Yeah, the images aren't really vital (which then brings their fair use status into question). A merge would be ok, I guess. -- Ned Scott 05:00, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per Ned Scott. JuJube 04:47, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep since these theme songs are for a large cartoon series watched by very many (sadly), and songs with that big an audience are notable. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:38, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

• Keep It's notable. Theme songs are important and look how long this list is... you want the pokemon list to be even bigger? MrMacMan 06:07, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Hello. Theme songs especially these often provide a distinct reference point and with the pokemon show reaching its 10th birthday makes it more noteworthy. This article is coherent and to the point. Thumbsup. Please keep. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 60.242.169.170 (talk) 00:05, 9 February 2007 (UTC).
