Questionable Notability

...I'll submit a vote as "keep it" for all of 'em. We want to contain as much information as possible on every aspect of the canon. This constitutes having articles even as drivelous (made-up mix of drivel and frivolous) as Bigglypuff.
i think youre walking a fine line of absurd there. having a good page of factual content is one thing, but when we struggle to fill that page, thats a problem.
 
In my opinion, what makes a GL/E4/FB's pogey notable is if it spent time with its trainer outside of the battlefield for an optimal amount of time. The four members of the Orange Crew? No. Bugsy's? No. Pummelo's Drake? Yes. Falkner/Whitney/Morty/Chuck/Jasmine/Pryce/Clair? Yes.

See where I'm going?

Took the words right out of my mouth.
 
However, I would like to mention that there are some that make themselves notable without being apart of the story. One could argue the validity of Brandon's Regis being anything meaningful besides being captured Legendaries, and I could argue that things like Tucker's Arcanine and Swampert deserve a combined article since the whole episode (thus, the story) was about their ability to work as a team and the inevitable "Fusion" of elements. You could or could not make a basis for an argument giving Luana's Alakazam and Marowak an article for being the first true double-battle team, even if the episode wasn't entirely devoted to them being such and did nothing overly special.

One could also make an argument for any double-pair, ultimately. Tate and Liza's two, for example, were in two episodes and twice were fought. Except that would make a sucky title to consider.

Though the simple way to solve the entire problem is to make a single article for /all/ a GL/E4/FB's pogeys, with special page titles for those that truely stand out for one reason or another. Not just for the anime, but for the manga as well, if need be.
