[edit] Kensei Muguruma, Lisa Yadoumaru, Hiyori Sarugaki, Ichinose Maki, Modified Souls (Bleach)

NN characters and a short character list are all pages created by Bleach fans without really understanding Wikipedia notability policies. These characters have not yet played a part important enough in Bleach to be considered notable. The articles are horrible too, just as a side note.

• Speedy delete - this character sucks poop. --Nintendude ^message 00:52, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete ...with no prejudice in the case of Maki. Dekimasu 06:13, 28 August 2006 (UTC)Redirect because it really makes more sense than deleting. However, a merge is unnecessary because the important information is already found in the articles these would redirect to. Yes, I like ending sentences with prepositions.

• Comment should any of this be merged into a list of minor characters rather than deleted? — Dark Shikari ^talk/_contribs 20:24, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment the info at Characters in Bleach series#The Vizard already has most of the necessary info and most of the info in those articles is superfluous and non-notable. However, more info can easily be added to Characters in Bleach series. -- Ynhockey ^(Talk) 20:29, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to Characters in Bleach series per WP:FICT, if there's any information that needs to go in. The section there is pretty good however, and I would not be opposed to just a redirect. ColourBurst 20:31, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

• Merge any relevant info into List of Bleach characters. –NeoChaosX [talk | contribs] 03:31, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Japan-related deletions. -- 9w6d 06:29, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
• Ssmerge and stick a {{fiction}} at the top of the merge point. (Though I don't remember if Smerge is a strong merge or a speedy merge so, I stuck two esses on.) --Kunzite 12:31, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
  • I always thought "smerge" was "summary merge", i.e. add essential information to the target article but don't bother including less important details. But that would be pretty appropriate too. — Haeleth Talk 16:20, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment Actually, smerge means "slight merge" according to the glossary. I thought it was speedy merge myself. ColourBurst 00:24, 31 August 2006 (UTC*
• Comment Like Ynhockey said, all of the important info on these characters is already in the Characters in Bleach series article. Putting the Vizard members profiles in the Vizard article could also be a solution.

• Delete or redirect, as said above article history of these articles aren't important. All useful info is already on the list of characters article. -- Ned Scott 10:17, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Personally, I'm against the deletion of Hiyori Sarugaki because of her constant interaction with Shinji as well as Ichigo. It is also important to note the way Kubo emphasizes her feelings (her dislike for human and shinigami, as well as hints of her familial affection toward Ichigo).

• Comment I am, too, against the deletion of Hiyori Sarugaki. I kinda view her as an important character in that she's training Ichigo. Simply putting a short biography of her in the Vizards or Characters in Bleach section seems like leaving out an important character to me.Sumhtun 07:24, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
• Reply she hasn't actually done anything though, and is a recent addition with no major interaction with other characters. It is better to expand her section of the character list, and only give her an actual article once she has proven her importance in the series.

• Also, since I don't believe I voted yet, Delete, no prejudice against recreation once they've actually DONE SOMETHING. --tjstrf 19:08, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

• RE: Reply Compare to some of certain members of Gotei 13 (yes, I'm talking about the Lt's of 1st and 2nd, but also various others), Hiyori has already left a greater mark to the story/overall plot. Not to mention the Arrancars. For crying out loud, while I can see why Luppi getting his own page (after all, he did have an impressive show), but Wonderwice?!? Come on!
• Not To mention Hiyori's got her character feature page already! How's that! :P (ok, you do realize this part is a joke, right?) -- Finestela 22:27, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Let the pages stay. If some of the arrancars have their own pages, why not the vizards too. Don't delete the pages their might be more info later in the manga and anime.
