[edit] Power Plant (Pokémon)

WP:NOT an indiscriminate collection of information. This article covers an extremely minor area in one set of video games. It does not deserve its own article and there is no suitable place to merge it into (it is pretty separate from Lavender Town, the nearest city). Prod removed without reason.

• Delete or Merge per nomination.--IRelayer 04:15, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, the fact that Zapdos is found there makes it important enough in the Pokemon world. --Candy-Panda 04:24, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

If you really think that fact is notable, this article can be merged/redirected to Zapdos.-Dmz5*Edits**Talk* 07:07, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete or Merge per WP:FICTION just because a pokemon is found there doesn't mean it's notable, Pokemon is found everywhere in the game, it's still a very minor area. Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 04:49, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as a non-notable fictional location, particularly if there is nowhere to merge it to. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, and the fact that some Pokémon is found there doesn't make it important or notable, per Jaranda. --Coredesat 04:52, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Very minor area. Redirect/merge is possible, but we certainly don't need articles about every area in every Pokemon game. Oddly enough, this probably would pass the Pokémon test. --- RockMFR 04:52, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. It's not even important in the context of Pokémon. This could probably be safely redirected to Zapdos, but I don't think we really need this unlikely search term. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 08:40, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per above. MER-C 11:06, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Edison 20:51, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete No references external to Pokemon itself provided within the article to establish outside notability per WP:FICTION. (Note: WP:NOT#INDISCRIMINATE doesn't actually apply to this article. It's a common misconception that that section of policy applies to "fancruft" or "trivia". WP:FICTION appears to be a more valid guideline to refer to. )Dugwiki 21:41, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
• Merge some (just the lead two paragraphs is probably enough) to List of Kanto locations. Not a significant enough area for a separate article, but it fits in well enough with the list article. BryanG^(talk) 22:46, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep or Merge The information is not an indiscriminate collection. It has its importance, and also possesses scope for growth, because Power Plants have appeared in many regions in the game series.Vikrant Phadkay-11:30 (IST), 1 February 2007 (UTC)

  Perhaps you've not played the same games that I have, but the Power Plant is a minor, optional dungeon in Pokémon Red/Blue (and the various remakes of same) that exists only to have a place to catch Zapdos. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 06:46, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

• Merge: Into the List of Kanto locations article, namely. I think all locations within the big regions of Pokemon games should be covered on those pages for those regions for easy and concise reference for casual Wikipedia readers. The fact this page is about a power plant supports my viewpoint all the more because the Hoenn Region I think has a power plant as well, so Wikipedia readers would rather look up the list of Hoenn locations article (I assume there is one) for info about that region's power plant and the List of Kanto locations article for that region's power plant. And I think there's extremely rare cases where redirects hurt.Erik Jensen ^{(Appreciate|Donate)} 06:52, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Merge: While we're at it, how about merging Indigo Plateau as well? The cities might be abile to stand on their own; if so, the List of Kanto locations should probably link to those, and Kanto (Pokémon) should probably link to that. Tiakalla 08:14, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

• Merge: If the Power Plant isn't important enough to have its own article, we should merge it with List of Kanto locations or create an article named List of minor locations in the Pokémon world which would really solve these kind of problems. --- Shiny Umbreon 15:15, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
• Merge as suggested above. This probably will never merit its own article but can improve another. —siroχo 09:39, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
• Merge somewhere. It’s as notable as most other Pokémon info, but not expandable beyond a stub. --WikidSmaht (talk) 19:41, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - no content supported by reliable third party sources, accordingly not sure what information could be merged. Following deletion, no objection to redirect. Addhoc 10:30, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
