Sorry, but.. you can't exactly make an article about your site and talk about how it's the best UK Pokémon site ever. Go get someone to stroke your ego elsewhere, please. :( ▫▪Ťïňắ 20:21, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

It's not even technically 'my' website, I'm just staff there. I wasn't intentionally advertising or promoting a website of mine, but what is Bulbapedia for? It's obviously for posting information on things related to Pokémon, which is exactly what I did. If you've read the likes of the Smogon and ONM articles on here, you'll notice that they're very similar to what I posted, if not exactly the same... I don't understand why one can be deleted and not the other. I'm not some little punk kid who had an intention of advertising a small pathetic fan-site by the way, I'm 21 and had the full intention or writing a well published article about a Pokémon website. However, if it has to be written by someone other than staff from said website, then if I get someone else to write it, will it be allowed even if it's pretty similar? --Havak 22:28, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

[edit conflicted] Even so, we have to be careful about wording when we're involved with the subject. It was a good article, but requires work to bring it up to Bulbapedia quality standard. If you wish to recreate the page, I advise you to start in a sandbox, before bringing it to the mainspace. Leave the personal feeling out of it. And take a look over the guides linked on the Welcome Portal. Learn how to link properly. —darklordtrom 22:47, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Three major problems

  1. When you created the article, you were kinda a central focus of it. Now, we all love ourselves, and I'm likely the most egotistical guy here at Bulbapedia, but look at how much of a mention I get on Bulbagarden's and Bulbapedia's pages. Little more than a footnote.
  2. WHY IS IT NOT CATEGORIZED.
  3. You just registered today. That is kinda... bad. First thing you did was make that article. Never a good sign. TTEchidna 23:13, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
