OK, I’m gonna be careful with my wording here because I know some users feel very strongly about this issue. First of all, just so you won’t get me the wrong way: I do not think [[shipping]], as a rule, is not notable. Shipping is a major part of the Pokémon fandom. If we have articles about the [[Pokémon USA recasting controversy]], the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver remake speculation]], the [[Big Four]], and [[HSOWA]], shipping definitely has a place on Bulbapedia. Things like {{s|PokéShipping}}, {{s|RocketShipping}}, {{s|PearlShipping}} and {{s|ContestShipping}}, are important part of the fandom. | OK, I’m gonna be careful with my wording here because I know some users feel very strongly about this issue.

How many of you, though, truly feel that we absolutely need an article about {{tt|AdvanceCloneShipping|article redirected on September 3, 2009, 25 days after this essay was published}}? Or {{s|AlienShipping}}? Perhaps {{s|AllergyShipping}}? No? How many of you, I wonder, are avid supporters of {{s|EnergyShipping}}? Or {{s|FireworksShipping}}? How many of you think {{ | How many of you, though, truly feel that we absolutely need an article about {{tt|AdvanceCloneShipping|article redirected on September 3, 2009, 25 days after this essay was published}}?

The shipping namespace currently holds almost 200 pages. These include {{tt|RespectShipping|article deleted on September 10, 2009, 32 days after this essay was published}}, {{tt|GreenShipping|article deleted on October 1, 2009, 53 days after this essay was published}} and of course, the glory that is {{tt|CinnabarShipping|article deleted on October 1, 2009, 53 days after this essay was published}}. I’m sorry, I know that for some reason we hold different, extra-low standards for shipping, but nothing, nothing at all, justifies {{tt|this|Ships based on RL people; section deleted on August 13, 2009, 4 days after this essay was published}}. We’ve been too forgiving with this section, and nothing anyone will say can change that. | The shipping namespace currently holds almost 200 pages.
