Clefairy deserves-no, needs-his own page!
editIf you do Charizard, Jigglypuff, Pikachu and Eevee, why not Clefairy? He’s famous for the same reasons as said Pokemon. --PyukumukuAce (talk) 14:06, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- Notability standards are a thing for fictional characters. We have to follow certain guidelines for things to have an article on here, namely significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that offer some reception on the character.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 14:32, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- as with greninja, clefairy had an article of its own, but the coverage it got was considered lackluster, so its contents were merged into its list and clefairy is currently a redirect
- also 75% of clefairy are female, come on cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 14:38, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

Lack of Meowth / Persian page is confusing
editI think I'm struggling to understand the criteria for Individual pages. Most of these pages are pretty good and justifiable but Electabuzz, Voltorb, Pinsir, Mr Mime are all confusing standalone pages, most of them are not very notable.
Why is there no Meowth page - Meowth's notability is extensive and probably only rivalled by Pikachu and Charizard (and legendaries).
Is this because Meowth is basically already covered by Team Rocket? Nkulasingham (talk) 14:15, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
- They are indeed notable though: they have standalone discussion. Notability isn't based on how prominent a character is in their media or role in said media. As for Meowth, it's because like you said he's already covered by Team Rocket. Meowth as a species isn't discussed really much at all by sources we can cite, but Meowth the Team Rocket member is...as a part of that group. Does that make sense?--Kung Fu Man (talk) 14:27, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
