List of Orange Islands Gym Leaders
article itself states that they only exist in one media, Pokecruft without encyclopedic value -- nae'blis (talk) 18:48, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep This is just as purposeful as the other Pokemon gym leader lists, and if I recall correctly, an entire miniseries was made about the Orange Islands and getting those gym badges. Michael 18:52, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Japan-related deletions.   -- TheFarix (Talk) 19:00, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, list meets WP:FICTION criteria for  non- notable minor characters. Also these characters do not have their on articles and this article is too large to be merged in with Orange Islands. --TheFarix (Talk) 19:00, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per TheFarix. - Wickning1 19:39, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete+Merge some content to Orange Islands. Article can be edited down heavily if people think its too large (though apparently some people think it's way too short, as it has a stub tag). I think these characters fail WP:FICTION as minor characters as they're only significant as part of the orange islands context and there's nothing notable in themselves per se.

 * Comment, If their significant as part of the Orange Islands arc of the Pokémon anime and manga, then they pass WP:FICTION as minor characters. I also suspect that the stub tag itself is cruft that someone forgot to remove when the article outgrew its stub-stage. --TheFarix (Talk) 23:17, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge per bwitthhhfhhthth. Recury 22:47, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge per above. &mdash; Deckill e r 01:04, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per TheFarix. BryanG(talk) 07:07, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep There was an entire season dedicated to them in the anime (and probably the manga that was based off of the anime, instead of the games). Ryulong 07:16, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, mere pokecruft. (Interesting that their open mouths reveal that they have no teeth, though.) -- Hoary 07:27, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Where there has been rampant pokélistcruft (List of Pokémon by color and species), this is a page describing actual characters from the television series that have notability per WP:FICTION for lists of notable minor characters, despite the Orange Islands arc being sorta like a filler arc.

 * Keep it's not particularly crufty, there are much more crufty things. H ig hway Batman! 17:26, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep They are just like every other set of gym leaders. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Byakugan360 (talk • contribs)
 * Delete If they are just like every other set of gym leaders, then those should possibly be deleted too.--Runcorn 21:40, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - This is like character pages for other articles of fiction. WhisperToMe 22:55, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
