::Um, what? It made only three appearances (at least thus far, but I doubt Gary would ever use it again), and the only part of its history which is a reasonable size was its battle with Team Rocket and Pikachu, and battling doesn't contribute to a Pokémon's notability. Also, what major impact did it have on the plot?

:::Ash learned about the unique Pokémon in the Sinnoh region after seeing Electivire for the first time, that is the first major plot impact. In [[DP045]], Electivire was the one who helped out in protecting Shieldon, the featured Pokémon. It battled against Saturn's Toxicroak in [[DP151]], fought for the Lake guardians and it helped in stopping Hunter J on a few occasions as well. These appearances are more than enough to keep this article.

::::Ok, those are all good points, I'm not necessarily saying that it '''should''' be deleted, and it's at least more notable than say, Paul's Magmortar and Trip's Conkeldurr (both of which, for the record, might actually have to be deleted, but I'll save those discussions for later). I brought this up for Electivire first because Gary's the first main rival of the series, and my personal definition of notability for these articles is whether you can say more about them than can go in the trainer's article and/or the anime section of the species articles. Electivire's article is pretty short, and I could easily condense it and place all the info in Gary's page.
