[edit] Delia ketchum

Delia ketchum (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Contested prod. I proded orginally because an article on this character, under the title Delia Ketchum, was redirected to Ash Ketchum. If the correctly spelled article is not worthy of an article on it's own, why should an incorrectly spelled article be wiki worthy for a stand alone article?

I think you've got a point there. I feel that this article may also fail Wikipedia:Notability. Mrs. Ketchum may be the protagonist's mother, but we don't see her very often in the series except for one banned episode, a few episodes after the Indigo League, and when Ash returns home only to set off for a new region. In addition, most other minor characters (such as Drew) do not have their own articles as well. I would agree to deletion on this one, under the primary reason of lack of notability. There really, really isn't much to say about her.
The second thing is that all sources are self-published, so they fail Wikipedia:Verifiability. I used to think they were fine as sources until this guy told me here. Sorry, but I'll have to vote for a deletion on this one. -- Altiris Exeunt 07:55, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete I generally like to add more than 'delete per above' or 'delete per nom', but there's not much more to add. Kudos to the creator/s for the work put in, tho - please keep editing. Colonel Tom 13:34, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete No reliable secondary sources to establish notability or provide real world context. Jay32183 20:04, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
