[edit] Pokémon Diamond and Pearl

A non-notable videogame that is also a hot-spot for vandalism. The deletion of this article as well as with it's sister pages of minor and non-notable characters will help prevent further vandalism on Wikipedia. Please understand that I'm aware the game is large in popularity in Japan. But this is why we have a Wiki in Japanese, is it not? An article already exists in J-Wiki, however it's lacking the length of information the english article has. Possibly the article could be translated back to Japanese, merged with the Japanese article and then the english one could be deleted? Thanks for understanding. Skarlotte 15:39, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Are you suggesting that articles in one Wikipedia should not be duplicated in another language? Or that only Japanese people are interested in Pokemon? --Robaato 19:57, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Keep Pokemon is quite popular everywhere, not just Japan. And also: The article was already nominated for deletion, and the result was keep. -Sukecchi 15:46, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Deletion to prevent vandalism? No, thanks, try WP:RPP. This game is notable and there is no reason for deletion. Yanksox 15:50, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Keep per Sukecchi & Yanksox. ~HJ ^[talk] [@½ -HurricaneJeanne 16:02, 19 August 2006 (UTC)]

• Speedy Keep per above. JQF 16:02, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep propose semi-Protection for vandalism. Pokémon Diamond and Pearl is notable videogame. The Pokemon articles non-notable are: Mukkuru, Korobooshi, Cherimu, Pachirisu and Dorapion. --K4zem 16:09, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep I have difficulty believing this is a good-faith nomination. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Diaruga. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:45, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Hey, while we're at it it, lets delete other "non-notable" unreleased Japanese games, like Final Fantasy XII, Final Fantasy XIII, and Mega Man ZX. Ace ofspade 17:45, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy keep, uhh, Pokemon games have been the biggest selling games on the gameboy. Childrens games are obviously going to be targets for vandalism, doesn't mean it should be deleted.--Andeh 17:48, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy keep... it's a real video game. What else is there? Being a target for vandalism is not a legitimate reason to recommend deletion if the topic is by itself worthy of being on Wikipedia. Request page protection or more careful monitoring of the content instead. --Kinu ^t/_c 17:54, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep This is a real video game, Pokemon is popular nearly all around the world, and I've not noticed a lot of vandilism. Besides, this is an encyclopedia. An encyclopedia is simply a compendium of knowledge, not just of notable knowledge. ~~Smileyman457
• Speedy Keep as per above, and also, if the reasons cited are enough to delete this article, they are enough to delete pretty much all of the video game articles. --Robaato 18:21, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep; a very notable game, in both the Japanese and English speaking worlds. Seems like this nomination for deletion is itself pointless vandalism. DanPMK 18:50, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep Are you freaking kidding me? How is any Pokémon game "non-notable"? Please do everyone a favor and stop parading about adding deletion tags to anything related to Pokémon. Ruby and Sapphire were the some of the best-selling games for the GBA. This nomination is absolutely ludicrous.Coltonblue 18:53, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I do not understand why one would vote to delete this page. This nomination to delete is completely unreasonable. Pokemon Diamond and Pearl is a notable game. Diamond and Pearl are big. The will be one of the biggest releases for the DS. Why anyone would nominate Diamond and Pearl for deletion is beyond me.

• Speedy Keep no reason whatsoever to delete. Also by the nominators logic all games released in Japan that have not yet been released in the US should be deleted and I personaly believe that is a really bad idea. --Edgelord 20:27, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
