*'''Don't Delete''' I've double-checked, and this article still contais information that is not treated in main articles. I think that it should be '''merged''' with a section containing list of all habilities, powers, <u>and weapons</u>(like Zanpakuto). I don't know if such article exists, but i think that this article should not be deleted until all information is passed to these articles.

:No need. Just merge each individual weapon with their corresponding character, bring back Jirobo and the others that got the boot, and do the same for notable Bakkoto.

*'''Merge''' Since each zanpakuto is associated with one and only one character, the list can be merged easily into the [[List of Soul Reapers]] and [[List of Hollows]] articles, while the remainder of the article can be trimmed a bit and merged cleanly into [[Soul Reaper (Bleach)]]. There isn't really any good reason to have a seperate article for these anyway, they're essentially just character abilities.

- Zanpakutō (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
Fails WP:N, WP:PLOT, WP:WAF, and WP:FICT. The topic of the "fictional type of magic sword" known as Zanpakutō from the Bleach series has not "received significant real-world coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." -- [[::User:Collectonian|Collectonian]] ([[::User talk:Collectonian|talk]] · [[::Special:Contributions/Collectonian|contribs]]) 15:06, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Anime and manga-related deletion discussions. -- -- [[::User:Collectonian|Collectonian]] ([[::User talk:Collectonian|talk]] · [[::Special:Contributions/Collectonian|contribs]]) 15:07, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
- Speedy Keep - the nominator is simply wrong. The Zanpakutō is a fairly recent invention so you wouldn't expect it to appear in books and such, and I don't read anime/manga-related magazines to know for sure that it appeared there (although I'm sure it has). However, various Zanpakutō are subjects of merchandising and cosplaying. Replicas and even related *keychains are sold on various sites and in stores, not necessary manga-related. Moreover, the Zanpakutō is central to the Bleach franchise, and everything in the article is notable, starting with the description and ending with the list. Therefore, being such a large article, it cannot be merged with Bleach (manga) or a similar article per WP:SIZE. To that end, it is similar to the article List of Middle-earth weapons and armour. According to WP:SPLIT and WP:SIZE: If an article becomes too large or a section of an article has a length that is out of proportion to the rest of the article it is recommended that a split is carried out.. I think it doesn't get any more clear than this. No reason at all to delete the article. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 17:53, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
- Totally invalid speedy keep reason, and no, I am not wrong. Merchandise for the series does not make the Zanpakutō a notable aspect, nor is it a valid claim of size as the information is excessive and never would have been allowed in the main article at such a length per WP:PLOT and per WP:WAF. -- [[::User:Collectonian|Collectonian]] ([[::User talk:Collectonian|talk]] · [[::Special:Contributions/Collectonian|contribs]]) 18:05, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
- Delete - wholesale. Past the WP:NOT#PLOT, WP:NOTE issues, it's a list of weapons when we already have entries for every character on this. The concept of a zanpakutō can be explained in the List of Soul Reapers in Bleach article. Rest is excessive. Sephiroth BCR (Converse) 18:12, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
- Delete as per Sephiroth's well-reasoned commentsBFG1701 (talk) 20:08, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
- Delete - Per comments from Sephiroth.Tintor2 (talk) 19:29, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
- Delete or Merge where relevant - Zanpakuto is certainly worth covering, but it does not need an article of its own. Doceirias (talk) 20:04, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
- Merge the list, delete everything else. Also, make a list of Bakkoto and put it with their corresponding character sections. There are a few people that have their Zpkto's listed here and aren't on the list of characters; they should be put back there also. StardustDragon 21:06, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
- Delete nothing significant here. Nominator has a good point, but probably transwikify to Bleach wiki if not already done. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 23:22, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
- Don't delete per se, but merge to appropriate page as outlined by User:Sephiroth BCR. This is what should have been done in the first place, and if there had at least been a merge proposal template on the page for a couple months, then delete would have been my vote. Per WP:ATD, keep in order to merge. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sasuke9031 (talk • contribs) 07:14, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
Don't Delete but the article is convoluted. A merger might be possible, however I don't see where. The list of Zanpakuto does need to go. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Adroa (talk • contribs) 12:13, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
