I'm quite disappointed in your addition of deletion notices to a number of articles related to Pokémon. It seems to me that you are biased in some way, so perhaps you should read this policy. Your reasons for deletion are quite weak. Pokémon is not only a large success in Japan but in North America and many other countries around the world. Red and Blue are "two of the best-selling video games of all time, having sold in excess of 31.3 million copies worldwide^[1]" according to the article. Gold and Silver sold at a lesser but still fantastic level. Ruby and Sapphire "are best-sellers, selling more than five million copies in Japan,^[2] and nearly four million copies in North America.^[3]" Combined, the two games are the best-selling games for the Game Boy Advance. Given all this, how could the next two installments in such a massively popular game be "non-noteable"? Pokémon games are certainly relevant in North America, if not worldwide. I hope you see the great, great error and ignorance in your ways. -Coltonblue 19:19, 19 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I happen to agree with colton blue. You are nominating Pokemon pages for deletion with ample reason. I don't understand your motive in nominating the Diaruga, Parukia and Pokemon Diamond and Pearl articles for deletion. You are saying that they are pointless, minor characters in a non-notable game. I've got news for you, Pokemon Diamond and Pearl are to one of the biggest releases for DS thusfar. Non-notable games? I think not. Parukia and Diaruga are not pointless, minor characters. They are the main lengendaries of Diamond and Pearl. They are on the covers of the games for crying out loud! How could they be pointless, minor characters then!?. 0-172 22:46, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nominations for deletion

I too agree with the two editors above. Please do not nominate pages for deletion that have no chance of actually being deleted. Doing so repeatedly can be considered disruption or trolling, and can lead to being blocked or banned. It is possible that this was a new-user mistake, so no action is being taken, but please consider nominations more carefully in the future. Thank you.
