 I don't see why not even smaller lists like the List of game shippings page are being allowed to stay. It doesn't even seem like they're being moved somewhere, and the pages don't give a reason why they were deleted. [[User:Andre1070|Andre1070]] ([[User talk:Andre1070|talk]]) 14:14, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
+: Hi there, the topic was raised [[Bulbapedia talk:Project Shipping#Bulbapedia and Shipping|here]] back in May to no response. Bulbapedia has frequently struggled with the Shipping section and it has been a frequent point of contention within the community as to whether it really belongs, we are an encyclopedia and we do our best to focus on the facts. The majority of shipping pages comprised of 'hints' and inferences that were at times strenuous at best, and at worst had little to no evidence at all. They also historically and presently weren't maintained very well with no real standard for what was acceptable. The like of game ships for example was slim, to say the least. It is almost wholely fanon and as such we have directed people interested in Shipping to the Shippers Paradise section of our forums. As for the list of game ships, they aren't being kept, I'm still wrapping up the (as I'm sure you could understand) beefy project.
+I'm sorry that this answer is probably disappointing to you, but I encourage you to join our forums and partake in the Shipping section there if that is where you find enjoyment within the fandom. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 23:57, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
