+== This article will be cleaned up ==
+This article, as it stand, is a complete mess. Many references aren't references at all ; others are far too debatable, and every little background appearance is mixed in without rhyme or reason with explicit, clear references. As a result, this is what the staff intends to do with this article :
+-"List of Pokémon Parodies" will be split off as its own article. Anything that is not actually Pokémon but instead a disguised version of Pokémon (eg, chin-poko-extra-mon, the seizure anime in the Simpsons) will go there.
+-"List of background references to Pokémon in popular culture" will be made into a child of this article. Background references are those where the Pokémon reference is something that the main characters don't comment or interact with: a secondary character or extra wearing a pikachu shirt ; a charmander figure sitting on a shelf ; a pokémon poster in the background in a store, etc.
+-In all cases, a reference need to be absolutely clear. A red and white circular form ; an unspecified blue wrestler and so forth are not clear (unless you have a a reliable source saying the creators deliberately put that in to refer to Pokémon).
+-For TV, fiction and non-fiction (including wrestling and reality shows as well as comedy show and gaming show) are to be split in separate sections.
+-For Real World references, only lasting, long-term references. Naming something after Pokémon (a life form, an asteroid, a product, etc) is a reference : mentioning Pokémon in an interview or theming an occasional event after Pokémon isn't.
+-For music, explicit, clear pokémon references in a song (or in the band's name) belong in the main article ; background references in the video clip, in the band's fashion styles, etc, go into background references. (Parodies still go into parodies).
+-Please don'T add any further websites. We haven't yhet decided how to handle those, but we don't want further additions for now.
+Please keep those in mind before adding anything new. Changes will be implemented over the next while. --[[User:Evil Figment|Evil Figment]] ([[User talk:Evil Figment|talk]]) 07:31, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
+:As an ordinary editor here (and maybe even as part of ''the community that drives this encyclopedia''), I would just like to say that I extremely welcome this level of (preceding) communication. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 10:27, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
+::I think it could do with some cleaning up and splitting. I also think that comics and websites and other sections should be given tables too. As for websites, on Wikisimpsons, we have a policy that if the pop culture thing referencing The Simpsons has a Wikipedia article, it's notable enough for a mention on the page. I think this could work for the websites. Websites must have a Wikipedia page to be notable enough. ☆<span style="font-family:Algerian">[[User:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:green">The</span>]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:red">Solar</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|<span style="color:blue">Dragon</span>]]</span>☆ 22:45, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
