Pokemon on Citizendium

Hmmm. Well, I suppose it's encyclopaedic content. J. Noel Chiappa 14:37, 31 March 2008 (CDT)

I guess it will end up like this: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots which is not too bad. Except it seems to run into the potential problem of looking like an advertisement.
I think the thing that is remarkable in wikipedia is not the fact that pokemon is present, but that it is there in vast numbers and in every minute detail. Chris Day 14:59, 31 March 2008 (CDT)
If it were up to me I'd just have one single article explaining the concept and phenomenae of pokemon in culture, and nothing else. --Robert W King 15:06, 31 March 2008 (CDT)
I'm pretty much a radical inclusivist. Hard drives are cheap and plentiful. Poké away! --Tom Morris 15:15, 31 March 2008 (CDT)
To repeate what I just said elsewhere: What about our 'maintainability' standard, in the long run? Will anyone care about this article in, say, 20 years? I am in general inclusionist, but only of stuff that's going to have some lasting interest/utility. I also worry that too much popular culture, and not enough serious content, will put us in the same intellectual ghetto (common-perception-wise) as Wikipedia. J.
