Not only is the title confusing, but there are already articles on Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres, so an article about them as a "trio" is not needed and fails GNG. It is a superfluous article. _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 16:43, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Completely unnecessary article with very little content and sourcing, which could be covered an multiple other areas. Sergecross73 msg me 17:01, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I have no Pokemon knowledge, but it might be preferable to merge the three individual Pokemon into this article? power~enwiki (π, ν) 02:39, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Alternatively, they may all need to be deleted or redirected to the giant list of Pokémon article. Sergecross73 msg me 17:13, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. This article is not only unnecessary, as each of the three Pokemon in question have their own full articles, but the sourcing is also terrible, as it is nothing more than announcements of events in which players could obtain them rather than substantial coverage of the Pokemon themselves. Furthermore, the name "Legendary Bird Trio" is not, from what I can tell, even an official name for the grouping, making the title confusing, as stated by the nomination.

Delete per nom. I believe the games only refer to these Pokemon as legendary birds without the trio part so I agree with Rorshacma that the article name is not an official title. I do not see enough independent coverage on the Pokemon as a group to justify this article, although there is a language barrier at play here. The question on whether the three individual pages meet the notability standards would be have to discussed at their individual AfDs if that ever happens.
