There is an active debate of the validity of the hints in the list in this Bulbagarden thread. All are welcome to contribute.

Notability

Are we allowed to add ourselves to the "Notable Advanceshippers" section? I always figured there was a commitee or something... -Cassius335

Way too many, there... User:TinaTheKirlia/Sig 21:54, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Agreed; I'm going to remove all of the irrelevent ones now. The other day I did a bit of clean-up to the article, and completely removed the list of Advanceshippers. That's just plain fancrufty. Matkin22 21:56, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

The term "fancruft" does not compute on this wiki. --FabuVinny ^T-C-S 22:09, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

It may not be as strict as some other places for citations and such (ex. Wikipedia), but it should still be as professional as possible; having a list of every single person who supports SatoHaru does not conform to that since it is just fans trying to have their name on the wiki; that is the point that I was trying to make.

Er, that particular list had three names; one is a fictional pair, one is notorious AdvanceShipper and one is Archaic, the webmaster. Where are the fans trying to get their name on the wiki? --FabuVinny ^T-C-S 22:20, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

This link is from Advanceshipping General Discussion on the BMGF. People began talking about updating the page, and then it seemed as if everyone wanted their names added to the list of Advanceshippers. Rather than have a mere three people on the list (containing one of whom is, as you pointed out, fictional, and another who is no longer an Advanceshipper but a Constestshipper), I chose to remove the list rather than expand it to include every Advanceshipper on BMGF, Serebii, Fanfiction.net, and the dozens of other fansites and forums in several different languages. As for the rest of my edits, they were just a little clean-up, rewrite, and expansion in some locations. All of the main points remain intact. Matkin22 22:40, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
