A completely unwarranted article simply because the show is NOT an original Indian series. Syndication of a series in another country, even if it is popular does not require a separate article. Imagine the mayhem that would ensue if articles were created for each and every country's broadcast for a magnum opus like Game of Thrones. The painfully long History section of the article basically notes each season's and in some places even each episode's telecast across networks in India and the rest of it is general coverage of each Pokemon movie's Indian title and broadcast network. In this case, the presence of sources does not automatically confer notability as most of it is marketing material. The article has already been deleted and recreated twice in the past one year without any major changes other than the title. [1] [2] Fails WP:GNG, WP:NOTDIRECTORY, WP:RPRGM and WP:SPLIT.

PS: A redirect to any other article will be completely useless as the article is heavily edited by what looks like fans of the show and will likely be removed almost instantaneously.

• Delete and salt. Nothing has changed from prior AFDs. There’s no reason for this to be split out for India. It’s big there, but no bigger or different than any other country or region. Sergecross73 msg me 15:23, 7 October 2020 (UTC) reply
• Delete per nom; marketing material is not evidence of notability; lacks evidence to justify a separate article Spiderone 15:33, 7 October 2020 (UTC) reply

• Delete and salt as this article was previously deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pokémon anime in India and re-created. I agree with everything the nominator has put forward as well as the rationales provided in the last clear consensus deletion discussion. - Knowledgekid87 ( talk) 21:36, 13 October 2020 (UTC) reply
