List of Pokémon name origins
Quite a bit of support on Talk for removing this list of Pokemon name derivations, or perhaps transwiki to Wikisource. Either way there seems to be a healthy dollop of OR in here, and even if it could be cited surely the articles are the place for it? Otherwose all we have is yet another list of Pokemon. How do you get Pikachu onto a bus? You poke 'im on! Sorry about that. Anyway, I would suggest that this is listcruft. Just zis Guy you know? 12:58, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - If consensus favors preserving the history of this list, please redirect it to List of Pokémon, the general-purpose dab page for lists of Pokémon. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 05:24, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Considering each of these Pokémon has its own article (why on Earth that is true is beyond me), it doesn't need to be here, it can just stay in each one's article. Metros232 13:37, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. DarthVad e r 13:54, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete While accurate and interesting, this info is generally kept in the Pokeomon articles themselves. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  13:56, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge content into relevant linked articles, and delete per Metros232. Paddles 14:05, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete fancruft (until only one Pokemon article is left? Well, a guy can hope, y'know?). Vizjim 14:37, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - unnecessary duplication of information. --Cel es tianpower háblame 17:23, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. This is unnecessary, given that this information is already in the Pokémon articles. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 04:53, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge (although I'm sure I've seen many of these in articles already). GarrettTalk 05:19, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete/Merge (Whichever is better). Yeah, it is an unnecessary variant on the standard List of Pokemon page, but make sure that all the accurate info is in each and every article before removing. Erik the Appreciator 17:06, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete This information already appears in each Pokemon's individual page. - CNichols 17:35, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete and particularly, delete reference from Pun page. A pun implies a certain amount of wit, none of which is evident in this entry.sdurf 23:28, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Since when does punning imply wit? - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 04:23, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
