:: You aren't even addressing the subject. "Lilliputian" means "a very small being". "Li'l" has nothing to do with dogs and, by your logic, must be removed as having nothing to do with the Pokémon. You can't have it both ways. --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 20:56, 7 February 2011 (UTC) | :: You aren't even addressing the subject. "Lilliputian" means "a very small being".

:::I checked lilliputian, and it is indeed acceptable. What is not acceptable is lilliput. Lilliputian is acceptable because it is about the size of the Pokemon. You at first were talking about lilliput, so that is why it was removed. I will be adding lilliputian to the name origin. - [[User:050294|050294]] 20:58, 7 February 2011 (UTC) | :::I checked lilliputian, and it is indeed acceptable. What is not acceptable is lilliput.

Just to add, lilliputian is the word that means small, lilliput is not and refers to an island in popular culture. Popular culture origins are not well accepted unless they have been proven to be based on said popular culture by Game Freak. That is why it was removed and instead has been replaced with lilliputian. Name origins are most likely based on the qualities of the Pokémon which is why li'l is acceptable, as it refers to the Pokémon's height. - [[User:050294|050294]] 21:05, 7 February 2011 (UTC) | |||
