Blaze (Pokémon)

Some ability that three Pokemons happen to have. Not sure what this article offers to Wikipedia. Delete. Grue 17:24, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Weak delete. I wikified the original article a little, but I don't really know whether it's encyclopedic. — JIP | Talk 17:31, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete this and Torrent (Pokémon). I'm all for inclusion of "fancruft", but this will set a very bad precedent. Xezbeth 18:51, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC)

Oh, and Shield Dust, Swarm (Pokemon), Shed Skin, and Compoundeyes, as well as the hundreds of articles that haven't been made yet but probably will be. Xezbeth 18:52, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC)

• Merge and redirect to Abilities in Pokemon or something of that sort, but it wouldn't kill me to see this deleted. Meelar (talk) 19:40, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Looks like User:User142 contribs created all these ability articles. Phils 19:43, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Far too trivial and granular a level of detail. Average Earthman 19:54, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Suggestion: why not a list of pokemon abilities and merge them all into it? Mgm|^(talk) 19:59, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge or delete it if none wants to do the merge. Jeltz talk 20:03, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Per policy, merge into a list with brief descriptions of all of them. Not widespread enough to deserve their own articles, however, may be relevant to more than one Pokemon article. (Disclosure: self-confessed Pokemon-hater) Chris talk back 21:08, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• merge or keep pokemon abilities and other stuff from notable fiction. Kappa 21:56, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)\
• Strong Keep by defintion this passes the pokemon test. Why is there so much hate for pokemon. Most pokemon are far more notable than even the most notable school'sKlonimus 23:42, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete first choice, Merge/redir second. What Xezbeth, Meelar and Jeltz said. Niteowlneils 01:29, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Merge to a single list. Andros 1337 03:33, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• There's already a comprehensive list of these things - Pokémon Abilities. Just Redirect them all to this article. --Sparky the Seventh Chaos 04:42, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the find--that's perfect. Meelar (talk) 04:44, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable, trivial, cruft. Megan1967 07:18, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete or merge into one place. Should Keen Eye be included in this discussion? Vegaswikian 08:06, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, cruft. --Bucephalus talk to me 14:01, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect per Sparky (and WP:FICT), nothing left to merge. Radiant_* 14:20, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Pokémon Abilities.Sinistro 17:28, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. This is definitely GameFAQs stuff. I can see how someone might stumble across a pokemon name on a website, go 'oh what's this' and look it up on Wikipedia and be all like 'oh I see it's a pokemon'. Listing an attack for Pokemon would be similar, if not completely equal to making Hookshot (Zelda) a legit entry, or Super Hammer (Mario) or even Tifa's Attack Option (Final Fantasy VII).RickGriffin 22:29, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
