Meowth was a good article candidate, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. Once the objections listed below are addressed, the article can be renominated. You may also seek a review of the decision if you feel there was a mistake.

No - I don't think that's a good idea. If anything it should be merged into Team Rocket. He is a legitimate character who talks and has a distinct personality. And plus, this article would be made very long. --Celestianpower hab 16:57, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
- Hmm. There's a lot of duplication between the three articles as-is. I think it might be a good idea to split the relevant info between Team Rocket and Meowth, crosslink the two articles extensively, and redirect Meowth (anime character) to Team Rocket. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 17:13, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
- Yes - although the majority of it would need to go in Team Rocket. --Celestianpower hab 17:17, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
- I guess that'd more or less be up to the merging editor. (Which means if you want it that way, please do it, by all means; it's a big job, and I'm doing other stuff at the moment. Meowth and Team Rocket both are in dire need of rewriting and restructuring anyway, so the difference will end up coming out in the wash..
- Incidentally, I subst'ed out the mergefrom and mergeto tags, so now the notice on Meowth (anime character) suggests merging the info into both articles, as appopriate. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 17:28, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
I don't think there should be a merge because the Meowth anime character page talks about a certain Meowth in particular of the species. The page that is just Meowth talks about the general species. - Not signed
- There's no reason to have three different pages about the same character. Let's mention the Team Rocket Meowth on the Team Rocket page (note that we don't have standalone articles for Jessie or James, either), then rewrite Meowth to briefly mention the Team Rocket Meowth and reference the Team Rocket article. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 21:54, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
- Agreed. I think about a Team Rocket Meowth bio is all that is needed on that page. NoseNuggets 10:42 US EDT August 24 2005.
Aside from the fact that the page will become longer... we don't have a huge article entitled "Humans" and then sub-titles about each individual one, do we? I know this is a rather extreme example, but I think that merging them is a bad idea. (And I don't think individual articles about Jessie and James would be that bad either) Deskana 09:05, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
- Don't make ridiculous comparisons. There's only one notable Meowth; the rest are one-off cameos, meriting a sentence each at most. I was originally picturing an article similar to Pikachu, another species of Pokémon with a single notable example (more or less), and supplementary discussion of the species as a whole and other notable individuals.
- That said, I now prefer Celestianpower's idea of merging this into Team Rocket (with reference to that article in the Meowth article). I realize Team Rocket is getting a little long; I think a better split would be an article about Jessie/James/Meowth and an article about Team Rocket the crime organization.
- As for J/J/M, the three characters are never seen apart, work as a group, and are defined largely how they interact as a group with other characters. Any discussion of one would require constant reference to the others, which says to me that the articles belong together. (In this case, they're notable enough to merit individual articles, but they aren't each separate topics unto themselves.) - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 15:17, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

- That idea (The one where J/J/M and the Organization are separated) has to be one of the best ideas suggested so far, as J/J/M could easily stand alone (and not too long) from the organization, and visa versa. Zap 01:30, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

- Practically the entire article is like that. Meh, I like it. Highway Rainbow Sneakers 15:01, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Removed line "Female Meowths have eyelashes." ONE female in ONE episode of the cartoon had eyelashes, probably fake ones as it was rich and decked out. This isn't fact for all of the female species.
[edit] Meowth for GA
Do you think this is good enough for GA Poke Master (Talk • Contribs) 15:08, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
- Definitely not. It needs some proper referencing, more information from the manga, merchandise, and TCG is necessary, among other things. PCEevee talk 16:17, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
- I agree, just failed article. Alvin6226 talk 16:35, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Meowth's Party
"A Nintendo GameCube video game called "Meowth's Party" was planned, and it seemed to involve Meowth entertaining at a party. A gameplay video also showed that Meowth could used Pokémon's abilities as an advantage (e.g. using a Snorlax's belly as a trampoline). [1] However, the game was cancelled, possibly for time constraints, or likely because of the decreasing interest in Pokémon."
The YouTube link in the above paragraph is to a French version of the Meowth's Party video contained within Pokémon Channel. As far as I can remember, the original Meowth's Party video was only intended to be a Nintendo GameCube tech demo, and was never planned to be an actual game. --86.27.62.142 03:14, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
Why haven't we started a new page for meowth's party it was going to be the first pokemon gamecube game and wasn't just a tech demo it had commercials at toy'rus if any one found it because I didn't want to break the law by stealing it. It was used in the pokemon (anime) has the end song mainly in japan but once in america and was used in pokemon channel. who got rid of my article!
[edit] Bowerbird not Magpie
"Like the magpie, Meowth is attracted to certain objects that catch its attention, which it collects at every opportunity and hoards in its nest. Murkrow, a Pokémon which is even more like the magpie, exhibits similar behaviour and members of the two species have been known to steal from the collections of the other."
It is not the magpie that collects colourful objects, it is the Bowerbird. I am going to change the link.124.184.25.217 13:25, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
