Deoxys

Zero in-depth coverage from independent reliable sources. Current sourcing is comprised of listicles, short blurbs, advertisements, press releases, and primary sourcing. Fails WP:GNG.  Onel 5969  TT me 03:10, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect to List of generation III Pokémon. "Zero in-depth coverage from independent reliable sources" is incorrect. The NASA collaboration is an example of cross-media promotion from the early 2000's during the franchise's early days, and does contribute towards the subject's notability. It has been cited or reported by secondary sources so it isn't trivial: Engadget and Harvard. Haleth (talk) 04:14, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * If it has sigcov in reliable sources, then why are you !voting to merge instead of to keep? Mlb96 (talk) 07:53, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I was responding to the nominator's assertion that there are zero sources with meaningful coverage. However, just the NASA collaboration and the brief commentary from websites like IGN and 1Up isn't significant enough in terms of volume of coverage I feel, and my WP:BEFORE haven't turned up much else, hence WP:ATD.

 * Redirect to List of generation III Pokémon, fails WP:GNG per nom. Not enough significant coverage.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 12:31, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of generation III Pokémon Doesn't reach the level of in-depth coverage we need for stand-alone Pokemon species pages. TarkusAB talk / contrib 02:13, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the corresponding list. I think there is no deep coverage by reliable secondary sources nor impact in the real world. If there is any mention in a reliable secondary source it can be added into Deoxys' entry in the list. -- LoЯd  ۞pεth  21:10, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
 * in regards to "nor impact in the real world", I would argue that the NASA partnership is an impact in the real world. Clover moss  (talk) 21:40, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Which reminds me of Poliwhirl being one of the most marketed Pokémon and still not having its own article. This still can (or should) be mentioned in the list. -- LoЯd  ۞pεth  21:46, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect, per Haleth's reasoning. Clover moss  (talk) 21:40, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of generation III Pokémon. Above average but still below the GNG threshold IMHO, not much SIGCOV outside game guides and like. Still, I'd strongly advise merge over a simple redirect; some content can enrich the target list whose entry is as often not much more than plot summary; merging reception there would be a win-win IMHO. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 13:45, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
