Non-notable Pokemon with no real-world notability. I redirected this to List of generation I Pokémon, as it is similar to other Pokemon AfDs (here here here), but a user objected to my redirect. Natg 19 (talk) 23:35, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

• Redirect per nominator. - Bryn (talk) (contributions) 03:38, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
  • Actually, Delete, as an unlikely search term. - Bryn (talk) (contributions) 22:19, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
• Redirect Delete Aside from passing mentions on the reception section, multiple pokemon in one article might be probably not enough. 49.149.124.152 (talk) 05:07, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect. Some elements of the reception and such could be preserved in the notes column of that list. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:14, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
• Redirect (The individual Pokemon terms, delete the combined name) - Not notable at all for the purposes of Wikipedia._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 12:46, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
• Redirect yet another Pokémon where the sources present don't give the coverage required. How many of these are there? Link20XX (talk) 14:08, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
  • There's more crap articles, such as Chikorita, Giratina, Arceus, Absol and possibly also Entei and Lapras.49.149.124.152 (talk) 22:23, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
    • After doing some more looking, Arceus, Xerneas and Yveltal, and Greninja also aren't looking good. Link20XX (talk) 02:37, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
      • I think Greninja is good (I also expanded now), since it was discussed before when the article was still at draft and resulted as keep, and it is a single Pokemon in the article that got plenty of reception. Have a good day. 49.149.124.152 (talk) 04:43, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
  • There is a catgeory of these Pokemon "character" articles here (unsure if there are others that aren't added to the category): Category:Pokémon species; and they are in this template as well, Template:Pokémon directory. Natg 19 (talk) 18:45, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
    • It's probably all of them now in the category, Chikorita is one of the worst. 49.149.124.152 (talk) 22:03, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
• Redirect as per nom. Zero real world notability. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 15:14, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
• Redirect since this has not received significant coverage from third-party, reliable sources. I am somewhat surprised as I thought there would be more coverage out there on this one. I think a redirect would be far more beneficial to readers than an outright deletion. Aoba47 (talk) 01:29, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

• Changing my vote to delete and have Vulpix and Ninetales be redirects. I agree that it is better to have them be separate redirects as that would be more beneficial to the readers. Aoba47 (talk) 16:39, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

• Delete. The name is a union of two different entities; as such, reading WP:RPURPOSE it doesn't appear to meet any of these listed purposes and so deletion is more appropriate. However, the redirects at Vulpix and Ninetales should be changed away from this and towards an extant page. BilledMammal (talk) 03:19, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
• Delete and make the two individual Pokemon names redirects, per nom._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 05:09, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
