The Correct Japanese Names Of Pok%C3%A9mon
This page does not contain information on the names of Pokemon; contains a romanization "created by the author;" has a title which indicates it will contain the information shown at List of Pokémon by name. While my first instinct was to merge the page with the list, this article is not useful for pronouncing the Japanese names listed on List of Pokémon by name correctly. The factual information is covered at Japanese language and Japanese writing system. Dekimasu 04:47, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Among the numerous other problems this article has, the author is 100% wrong on Japanese pronunciation. Danny Lilithborne 04:57, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - I find the article inoffensive. The statements about Japanese pronunciation are basically correct, though they could be touched up a little. I don't think that it helps to reinvent romaji, either. Romaji is itself a potential cause of incorrect pronunciation, and romaji has been refined over many decades with that fact in mind. - Richardcavell 05:21, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment It is not true that "su" and "shi" are pronounced "s" and "sh". They are pronounced the way they read, just quickly enough for the average person not to notice.  The claim that "n" is the only consonant is also false, because Japanese doesn't have consonants; "n" is merely its own syllable. Danny Lilithborne 05:40, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete for being the groundwork for original research (anything "which I have created" automatically sets those sorts of warning bells off). BigHaz 05:53, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as blatantly obvious incorrect original research. -- Koffieyahoo 05:58, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Koffieyahoo. Viridae Talk 08:02, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Correct solution would be to export the names from Japanese Wikipedia and then include them in the article that contains the name of the Pok%C3%A9mons. So, Delete this list. - Penwhale | Blast the Penwhale 08:14, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, original research. --Core des at talk. ^_^ 10:17, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as WP:OR unless it can be sourced WilyD 13:28, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete it, chop it up into little pieces, and bury the pieces miles apart. Not only is it original research, it's completely false. wikipediatrix 14:24, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, the article is more like someone's soapbox than an encyclopedia article. It isn't at all related to Pokémon, instead it's just a very brief guide to the Japanese language. J I P  | Talk 15:22, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete ...what on Earth is that thing? Once in a while, some people come up with stuff that leave me completely speechless. In a wrong way. Oh yeah, deletion per nom. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 19:41, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as WP:OR (and of questionable accuracy too). Fairsing 16:11, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
