This article was created by its webmaster, which is a big no-no. Now, if the article was created by someone else and the webmaster wants to add more information, that's alright, but if the website was really notable, certainly someone other than the webmaster would've thought to create it. Joe Merrick didn't create the page on [[Serebbi.net]]. | |||
Now, this website shares it's name with a song, but the google results are dominated with the song. Most of the fansites we have articles on pop up on the first page of results (there are exceptions, but those websites probably aren't notable anyway). Also, this website never seems to be mentioned anywhere in any Pokémon fansites (aside from this one), and even here it's an obscure page (no incoming links aside from two redirects). | |||
And finally, the very nature of the fansite itself. This seems to be from the era when literally thousands of Pokémon websites were popping up due to Pokémon's surge in popularity. If we had articles on all of those obscure fansites, then if you clicked [[Special:Random|this link]], there would be a 99.99% chance you would end up at one of them. Really, I do not see why this fansite is any more notable than all of those other fansites.

Kimberly
Someone noted that my article for We All Live in a Pokémon World... does not yet meet Bulbapedia standards. I have made a few formatting changes as stated in the manual of style, but I am new to Bulbapedia. What else must I do?

Notable?
Is this site notable enough for its own article? I have never heard of it, and it doesn't seem to have played a major role in the fandom (or at least a role as big enough as Bulbagarden, Serebii.net, PokéBeach or Smogon). Then again, just because I haven't heard of it doesn't necessarily mean anything. Thoughts? --PAK Man Talk 03:14, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
Major overhaul
I did quite the overhaul of this page, but am still afraid to take off the thing at the top. Anything else this article needs? Or is it pretty good to go? --BaileyPlaysPokemon 08:32, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
Delete
It is understandable that PokéBeach, Smogon, Serebii, etc. have their own articles, as they are popular websites. It is also understandable that websites like Pokémon Crater have articles as they, at one point or another, were popular. But I have never heard of this before I saw this page, so this page should go. The above comment is supported by Spyspotter. 15:34, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
- You've never heard of it, so it should be deleted? That is the most arrogant, self-centered justification I've ever heard in my life. Pumpkinking0192 (talk) 19:01, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
- Just having personally never heard of is not justification for deleting it, no. However, I really don't think this is a major Pokémon fansite that deserves an article.
