List of Pokémon terrorist groups
All of these groups have their own articles so this list would be better as a category. WikidSmaht (talk) 18:05, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Plus the title is awful. Delete. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 19:38, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Are there even enough of them to warrant a category, or would a general Pokemon organizations category be more useful? --Tjstrf 19:44, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, since the bulk of the organizations are antagonist groups (a much better name than "terrorist groups" to be sure), I think a single "organizations" cat would probably be a better idea. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 19:48, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Aqua, Magma, and potentially Cipher are terrorist organizations, but Rocket and Snagem are really just organized crime. However, the “organizations” header would allow us to include the Pokémon League, Pokémon Association, and Pokémon Fan Club. -- WikidSmaht (talk) 20:17, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * comment Organized criminals can technically be terrorist groups, depending on their activities. But I would prefer we avoid throwing around the term unnecessarily, especially since it has gained an immense political connotation since 9/11. The articles are about a group of fictional organizations, not suicide bombing series fanboys, which is what the that article's title seems to imply. Organizations in the Pokemon Series would be a precise category title which avoided any confusion, and could include the gyms, the various antagonist groups, research labs, etc. --Tjstrf 20:51, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete Per nom. Also, I am going to create a Category for Pokemon Villans.-- A  c1983fan  ( talk  •  contribs ) 23:15, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, fails WP:POKE (just kidding!). Actually, delete this list in favor of the category proposed by Ac1983fan (if "Villains" gets spelled correctly), or in favor of the slightly broader category proposed by Tjstrf, or one where "Antagonist(s)" is the criterion.  Barno 00:07, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, darn, that shortcut doesn't go to the "Pokemon test" essay about notability, but to WikiProject Pokemon. Spoils the joke.  Barno 00:10, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't think the Pokémon test would apply to lists in the first place. I can't believe that's actually an essay though. Especially in contrast with the fancruft essays. Wikipedia's deletion/inclusion arguments make my head hurt. --Tjstrf 03:38, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I believe we could get a consensus agreeing with your last sentence. Barno 13:00, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
