			==More characters missing==
	== Improvements ==
			In the Antagonists section of List of ''Bleach'' characters, there are a few characters not mentioned: Muramasa, the manifested ''zanpakutō'' with the ability to materialize other ''zanpakutō'', as well as his owner, Kōga Kuchiki, who was sealed by Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto and Ginrei Kuchiki. Also, Kagerōza Inaba, the seventh seat of the twelfth division and creator of the reigai, who seeks after Nozomi, a green-haired modified soul who is a fugitive of the Soul Society. Ōko Yushima can also be added, as he is the one that extracted himself into the two modified souls, Nozomi and Inaba, to later fused himself into an all-powerful modified soul.
	Okay, since the merging stopped, we should now focus on cleaning up the articles, most notably the oversized plot summaries. I plan to rewrite Ichigo's summary in my sandbox, as it is tooo long. I suggest not more than 8 paragraphs for each plot section, give or take one or two paragraphs. It should be about 1 - 2 paragraphs per each arc, like the beginning can be 1, Soul Society (2 arcs) can be 3, Bount arc about 2, Arrancar arc 1, and Hueco Mundo should be 2. Thats 9 in total, and I'm talking about LONG paragraphs. --]] 09:21, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
	: Agreed. ] 22:46, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
	::Characters should not receive plot summaries. They need a description of their overall role that is no longer than three paragraphs. This is to go along with ]. ] 22:58, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
	:::But then we'll need a summary for Bleach characters, it was removed cuz of character's synopsis section, maybe we should rewrite them. ] 23:17, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

	::::::Because you're blanking whole sections without edit summaries, and it's not the solution. — ] (] \| ]) 23:58, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

	:::::::I suggest using a test page first, Hartebeest, and ask people to look at the summary you do there. IF its okay, then we only replace the plot summaries in the articles. That way, you will notice people won't revert you. We usually wait a few days for respond, not 1 hour.--]] 09:22, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

			In the List of Hollow in ''Bleach'', not all hollows shown in the anime are listed in this article, namely Hooleer (or Fūrā), Battikaroa, Michel and Yosuke. I think it's also necessary (but not required) to include the Tōjū (sword beasts) that appeared in the anime (yes, even Kirikaze). And if we are on that subject, all the zanpakutō spirits should be included in the List of ''Bleach'' characters (not just a few). Some Soul Reapers that are missing, namely Seizo Harugasaki, a dishonored Soul Reaper in the eleventh division, should be added in the List of Soul Reapers in ''Bleach''.
	I'm back. Sorry to disappoint you, but under ], only major characters can have articles unless there is enough information (including out-of-universe) for them to have articles, and local majority can't defeat a large majority elsewhere, and majorites on policies count more than local majorites. Kira, Nnoitora, and Grantz simply aren't notable, and no one has yet to state a real reason to keep them other than a failed ]. I will give you a chance for Grantz, however, to make a reason to keep him, but Kira and Nnoitora should just be merged. ] 21:48, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

			Well, these are just suggestions on improving these pages, so I hope you can consider them and try to help me in this! ] (]) 1:00, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
	:Artist, ] is a policy which overrules guidelines like WP:FICT, which, to add to that, is unstable at the moment and under revision. If there is clear consensus against your deletions, the articles will stay. -- ] <sup>(])</sup> 22:50, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
			:I know Kubo seems to want to create an infinite row of characters but remember that ]... So it's not recommended to include every single character when it ''just appeared''. Does the character makes an impact on plot or is at least a frequent recurring character? I would include it. Does the character only makes brief appearances or isn't related to the plot or other characters? I wouldn't include. I would be even more cautious when including anime-exclusive characters. Making groups of minor characters is also a possibility (like what was did for the Sound Four and Taka on ]) when the characters are not that relevant individually but is part of an important group... Just my opinion, though. ] (]) 03:28, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

			This is actually true, as even the head captain the leader of the soul society isn't mentioned in this article ] (]) 07:48, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
	:@Hanachi: A test page? Do you mean the sandbox? @Artist: When I removed the Synopsis section for Noitra, the article's only 3 kilobytes long, making it nothing more than a stub. But still we should wait, cuz Noitra's gonna release soon, he doesn't stand a chance against Nell without releasing. ] 23:26, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

	::Yup, the sandbox, user space, whatever you call it. I have also redid the Bleach character list template in my sandbox, when Aizen gets transited, and it looks fine. Artist, yes we know what is under ], but they are notable, even though they look stubby. Nnoitra is going to release soon like Hartebeest say, or Nell will kill him, so there will be something to add to his zanpakuto section. Grantz, is SO similar to Mayuri that I don't know what to do with him.--]] 07:17, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

	::::It's certainly true that we are making making stuff up, but that's what will most likely happen. We cannot just delete the ENTIRE plot summary, just condense it a little.--]] 11:02, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

			Ok just to get this straight some characters like Ichigo, Rukia, Chad, Orihime, and Uryu are referred to by first name, while others, like Aizen, Yamamoto, Hitsugaya, and Ukitake prefer to be called by last name. Should we refer to Kisuke Urahara by his first or last name since he's referred by both (last name in season 1 article and first name in TYBW article)? Also I'm a bit confused about Kenpachi Zaraki since in TYBW it appears that Kenpachi is actually a nickname. Also should we refer to Ichibei Hyosube by first or last name? ] (]) 16:33, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
	I'm beginning to notice alot of the shortenings are two paragraphs or more. Really, however, the only ones that should are the eight we list as "main" (including Aizen, since he's a major plot builder), and the ones who barely miss the title of "main" (Only Hitsugaya and Byakuya so far do). All the others can be put in one paragraph. ] 00:35, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

			== Reiou's name ==
	:Well, atleast there are shortenings of paragraphs. But when you squished the ENTIRE plot summary into a one paragraph, it becomes very confusing. Reading orientation and sequence of events are important when explaining such things, and the reader probably won't get what we are trying to say in a paragraph.--]] 09:20, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

			I already posted of this in the ''TYBW'' wiki itself, but JIC:
	== Kira, Shinji, Isshin, and Nnoitora ==

			The newest episode, 3x02 (#28 overall), revealed the Reiou's name. But while the subtitles had this as "'''Adnyeus'''", it's more likely—especially given the katakana form, ''Adonayeusu'' (アドナイェウス)—a blend of "]" and a clipped form, ''(D)eus'', of Latin —Japanese rendering, ''deusu'' (デウス)—to match the German-esque vocalization of the ] that informs '''''Yhwach'''''. Thus, '''''Adonayeus'''''.
	It seems no one on the Bleach Task Force is against merging those four to the end, so I've brought the matter directly to ] to be discussed. Send any opinions there should you find a reason to keep them. ] 23:06, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
			] (]) 00:23, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
	:Go ahead and merge Kira, and Isshin if no one objects, but don't merge Nnoitra just yet, wait for him to release and see if he had enough relevancy. Shinji? Hell No!!! ] 14:47, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
	::And if you want, merge Ulquiorra, his article is a stub withought the synopsis section. ] 14:49, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

	:::Shortening the plot seems to be causing some damage. Ulquiorra, Yumichika, Rangiku, and a few others have been lowered drastically and won't reach their same level again. Others simply aren't notable. I suggest we have another grand discussion about the characters once the plot is shortened for all articles and we discuss whether Ichigo should have plot or not. Until then, let's just wait to discuss them, except the ones already proposed. ] 15:30, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
	::::We are not merging anybody until a clear consensus is reached. You can't just be rash and say "Go ahead, merge Kira" and expect people to do nothing. That'll will start edit wars, so why not we go over to ] and discuss these matters.--]] 08:50, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

	::::Just about all merges cause arguments. Take into consideration, too, that a large number of the people who say "Keep them, they can be improved" to one that can be merged won't try in any way to improve that article (not that you're one, Hanaichi, you regularily contribute to the Bleach articles). Some of them like Shinji and Kira have no further hope of any improvement, while others who can aren't recieving any attention by the editors (Kon and Hitsugaya, for example). Simply put it, as I said in ], we should only spend our time with the ones that can be improved from their current version, while ones that are already stubs and can't be improved any more, like Shinji and Kira, aren't worth our time. ] 19:56, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

	I agree with you on Kira, he did not get any screen time since the Bounts, and might not make an appearance 'till Winter War, so I think it's okay to merge him now that Hinamori's merged. But I think we need to discuss about Shinji. ] 23:55, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

	==I think we should==
	Restore the article for Nell. I know we're trying to have as less articles as possible, but I think Nell will get enough relevancy and we should make an article for her when she releases or causes further plot development. EDIT: The article is deleted with no better reason than "not enough relevancy", and her article is almost 8 kilo long, compared the 4 kilo long article of Nnoitra. I'm going to restore it, if you wish to merge it for any reason, please post here or ] first ] 04:04, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

	:Her article looks to be 5.5 kbs long, not 8. And as you might be aware, Nnoitra will be merged whenever he is inevitably killed. They're both in the same boat, I'd say. '''''~]]]''''' 04:49, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

	::Hartebeest, you need to figure out that discussion comes first. You don't make a thread then automatically do what you suggest. You wait for responses.

	Oh LOL I thought you told me to be around longer (calling me a newb), didn't saw the past tense. ] 14:28, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

	== Something you should all reconsider ==

	A large number of you think that many of the character articles, like ], are beyond merging, but it's quite the contrast. Look at ], where I described her entire article within three paragraphs. I urge you to rethink just who can and cannot be merged, as I could easily do the same with Yumichika, Matsumoto, and several other ones you also decided were definite keeps. ] 17:54, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
	:The three paragraphs that you wrote are fairly large and even by themselves would be enough for a separate article. Not to mention the synopsis and omake appearances, and you have a decent-sized article. Even on the Misplaced Pages-I mailing list (not sure if you read it), many users have expressed concerns over the abuse of WP:N and WP:FICT. Perhaps you should reconsider how these guidelines apply to the Bleach pages. Another thing I haven't thought of before, is what Jimmy Wales said once, that verifiability is the main criterion for inclusion in Misplaced Pages, not notability, which should always come later. Lastly, the List of Bleach characters page itself is 41 kilobytes long, which is long enough, and should be split if possible. -- ] <sup>(])</sup> 18:08, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

	::I'm not telling you to merge them without any choice, Ynhockey, only that you should reconsider just who should and shouldn't be kept. Yes, I am well aware that there are many cases of policy/guideline (sometimes not even either) abuse throughout Misplaced Pages, but any site with so many rules will eventually have them abused (I believe there was this one ] fansite that made dozens of crazy rules, such as "you're banned if you call ] (the main antagonist of the video game series) "Gannon", the original translation), though I am not for any abuse of policies just to bring Misplaced Pages under your dictatorship. I also know that the Bleach multiple-character lists are very long, though considering how Bleach has an extensive cast, this is not suprising. Something that might help with this is removing the completely 100% unnotable characters (Chad's two friends, for example), like Naruto did, and that saved them a large amount of space, and making a few other multiple-characters lists articles, like one for all the captains. Simply put it, sahoving everybody that is part of the same race into a single, crammed article is not the way to go, so why not make sub-pages to make some space and allow you to go slightly more in-depth? As for the other case, notability is already on shaky ground, and verifiablility is always a must for any encyclopedia, so what Wales says makes perfect sense. Do not forget, however, notability, despite all its ocntroversy, is still high on the list of must-have's. ] 19:18, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
	==Fair use rationale for Image:Keigo & Kojima.JPG==
	]
	''']''' is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under ] but there is no ] as to why its use in '''this''' Misplaced Pages article constitutes fair use. In addition to the ], you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with ].

	Please go to ] and edit it to include a ]. Using one of the templates at ] is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

	If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on ]. If you have any questions please ask them at the ]. Thank you.<!-- Template:Missing rationale2 -->

	==Deleting picture of tatsuki+classmates==
	after somebody added the ], i wondered if that ] of her didn't become unnecessary, because the classmates of inoue and tatsuki are like very very minor characters, and since tatsuki has her own picture now, what's the point in having a picture of her, plus a grouppicture of her including very minor characters? well of course inoue is in that picture as well but since she also has her own picture, the grouppicture has lost its purpose i think. so i've thought about removing the grouppicture, but I wanted to ask her first, since i can remember an editwar going on about that picture :). Should it be deleted? ] 14:27, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
	:Well the classmate photo is there as to make sure nobody readds the Chizuru Honshu image. I vote for cropping the image (like cropping Tatsuki and Orihime out, maybe get a better view of Chizuru and Michiru) and keeping it for viewing purposes.--]] 14:38, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
	::I see. But, are Chizuru and Michiru really important enough to keep for viewing purposes? I mean, the total screentime of those characters can't be more than 5 mins i think. We can't even say that they're important characters in the lives of the main characters. For me, having a picture of them is the same as having a picture of Ganju's henchmen, but that's just my opinion, don't be offended :) ] 14:59, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

	:::This page has a very large number of characters listed, and as such it would be better to have a group image showing multiple characters than an image showing only one of many. ] 22:17, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

	== I've noticed something... ==

	In the cases of many characters, within their own article (or merged location) they are refered to by either their first or last name, sometimes both. In other articles mentioning them, the other name of the character is often used instead. This is confusing to the reader. The same thing went on in the ] articles. I suggest we have a large discussion and decide whether we use last names or first names. ] 18:07, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

	Let's just get the merges over with, alright? Say keep if you want to keep it, merge if you don't want to. Also, state reasons for each of them, and I mean beside those on Argument to avoid in deletion discussion, What Misplaced Pages is not, and other "reasons not to use" pages. Nnoitora is a special case, as it was decided a while ago to keep him until his role is over. A few weeks from now let's do Nel as well.

	For keep: All eight Misplaced Pages lists as main, including Aizen, I say keep because they are main. Hitsugaya, Byakuya, Ichimaru, Zaraki, Yoruichi, and Ikkaku are major characters, have extensive zanpakuto information, and a few have out-of-universe info, namely Hitsugaya. Kon has out-of-universe information with the Radio-Kon-Baby and such. Mayuri, Ukitake, and Grimmjow I say yes to because I feel that the first has too much information for a merge, the second plays a major backround role, and the third plays a role right now. Tosen because there's no where to put him. I won't vote for Kariya until the plot is shortened, and because I'm not an expert on the Bount.

	For merge: Kira, Shinji, Rangiku, Matsumoto, and Grantz are stubs and can be merged with ease. Isshin hasn't really done anything at all yet. Soifon's article is rather repetitive and cna be shortened greatly. Kaien is pretty short. Ulqiorra has yet to have enough information for me to say yes until I see him release his zanpakuto. ] 22:28, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

	::I thought we all discussed this that there would be no more merging..I'm going to say no for each one because I believe the format we have right now is absolutely perfect. And Grantz is hardly a stub, more of his back story I can see is coming soon, and his freakish zanpakuto may have more abilities then before. Kaien should be left alone because he a key character for Rukia's history. And Mayuri and Ukkitake have a lot of screen time (even though Mayuri's backstory hasn't been revealed, but Ukkitake's has) and Grimmjow is now Ichigos nemesis, now almost half-dead. I'm not even going to mention Kira or Matsumoto. I've said what I wanted to say, and now about Nell's status. How long have we seen her? 50-60+chapters? After we know the Zanpakuto, we should give her an article THIS week. Oh, why the bloody hell would you vote 'yes' Aizen to be merged? He's the major antagonist for christ's sakes!

	::Oh, and will people stop saying "merge Noitora and Grantz after their run is over!" Jesus, they've been barely introduced and will play a future role! It's crazy saying: "Oh, Ichigo's gotten a cool new super power, he'll kill Noitora and we'll merge him cuz we know he's going to die!" It's just speculation. Why don't people actually sit back and enjoy the manga, not predict deaths which they know aren't gonna happen..Oh, and if anyone's noticed, Szayel's article is bigger then Noitora's... There's my two cents. '''No''' more Merging, if you please. ] 09:12, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

	:::It was only judged to temporarily stop the merging. And merges ''are'' needed, especially for the stubby articles like Shinji, Kira, and Matsumoto. I only brought this up so we could get it over with over who does or doesn't have articles. The Bleach task force has gotten to close to the idea of having a large number of character articles, several of which are stubs or easily mergeable. And I said "Yes" for keep and "No" for merge, Mr.Doesn't-Read-All-Of-My-Comments. ^_^

	:::Seriously, this has gotten out of hand. I rather get the merging arguments over with, as right now the only article that seems to be a majority vote for yes right now is Kira (see above discussions before replying), yet far more than him are stubs or don't satisfy ] (techniqually only Orihime does for having out-of-universe info). Eventually the Bleach task force will have to realize quantity isn't quality, and merges will happen in the future, whether it be in two seconds or months from now. To answer your final question, that is what fan sites arefor. Misplaced Pages states facts. ] 06:20, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

	::::Bleh, seriously, I have enough of this. I suppose Nel would get her article soon, if somebody could prove that her article won't be a stub like Kira or Nnoitra. =.= Anyway, as for merging, I vouch for merging Yumichika, Kira and Rangiku, seeing as their articles are REALLY stubs after the shortening of plot. However, I want to keep the Soifon, Ukitake, Mayuri and Kaien articles as they are important. --]] 09:53, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

	:::::To much merging left and right, I think that Rangiku and Yumichika should get to keep their own page seeing as how the have more info and background story then even some of the captains, Kira's can be merged. As far as Arrancar goes both Grimmjow and Ulquiorra should both keep their page seeing as how the have had the more interaction and shown more of theyr nature as opposed to the rest rest of the Arrancar (Nell excluded she should also have her own page). Bount wise Kariya should keep his page beeing as how he played a key role during that arc and enough info on him was gather, same for Shinji. As far as Ishin he's page should be converted to instead of beign about him, it beign about the whole Kurasaki family excluding Ichigo. Also Their should not even be a discussion on Characters such as Ichigo, Orihime, Sado, Uryu, Rukia, Renji, Kon and Urahara they are the main and have enough info to back them up. ] 09:19, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

	Some of you failed to notice this, but you're supposed to '''edit''' the little list I made at the top so we can keep track easier on the merges and keeps. As most here say Kira should get merged, I'll do that. ] 16:51, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

	If you guys don't want to start merging some of the smaller characters, I'll probably just go ahead and throw some random AfDs out there. I'll probably start with the minor Espada, Shinji, and Isshin. ] 17:04, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

	:Thats going to help solve the problem /sarcasm. Anyway, people, it would be get to the merging, this way the much needed histories aren't useless.--] 17:51, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

	::Unless you want to get past the notion that importance in the series judged by three to five users determines the necessity for an article, it will solve everything at once. ] 20:52, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

	:::Voted for everyone. And like I said, as of now, unless the article is deleted, it truly doesn't matter for me. If they are deleted, they can't be used for , (everythings legalized, as far as we could make it.)

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to see any article lost, but at this point...eh...--] 21:34, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

	I just voted on all, mostly keep. Voted to merge some, like Kaien and Ukitake - their importance is overblown by far and they have appeared far less than Kira or Matsumoto. Also Kaien is backstory-only, which makes him minor by default, and Ukitake's article would be mostly backstory. Character importance should not be measured on backstory alone. -- ] <sup>(])</sup> 20:08, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

	:Updated poll. Momo, Kira, and Retsu are under non-existing. Voted no for Momo and Retsu. Still waiting for Jin's article to be updated. ] 00:06, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

	::My votes are in (I've been following this for awhile before I joined, in case anyone is wondering). TTN, you really consider Grimmjow to be a "minor" Espada? I don't deny that there are a number of them who have done nothing, but Grimmjow is certainly not one of them. ] 10:25, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

	:::Once again, this is becoming debatable. Okay, I agree with merging Kira, but Szayel and Noitora are still debatable. As of the latest chapter, you do realise, there are going to be very long battles coming up? As nearly all the current Espada are going to be involved in fights, (And I don't mean do something stupid like make articles everytime there's a release) plus they'll probably be one or two new surprises (like Zaraki having Bankai or Szayel's true reason why he wanted to help Noitora.) So, can we give Szayel and Noitora a bit more time please? I know they don't qualify for FICT, but they are the only active Espada as someone mentioned. Still, and whoever said Grimmjow was a minor espada needs to have their eyes checked. Last time I looked, He;s been around for a 100+ chapters, (First introduced in 199), so there you have that. Does longitivity mean anything to a character article, or is it based how far we go into a characters history/key role? ] 10:39, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

	:::PS. I've voted, and someone forgot to add Noitora to the list, which I did. ] 10:43, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

	::::It says at the top that judgment is being reserved on Nnoitra and Nel Tu for the moment. EDIT: And Bankai is for the WEAK. ] 10:49, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

	:::::Whoever just tagged Grimmjow for deletion, please don't. We've discussed that he should stay. Its 5 votes Keep, 0 votes merge..] 23:23, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

	::::::I just voted. Hanataro had importance in one arc and has otherwise been relegated to bit parts and omake. I would put him on par with Ganju, who does not have his own article. Ukitake does not have enough information to merit his own article, having about as much as Kyoraku. Kaien definitely does not merit an article, being only a flashback character without a lot of characterization; again I make a comparison to Ganju, Kaien's brother on whom we have more characterization but lacks an article. I think the only reason Isshin still has an article is because it was expected that his character would be developed upon in the near future (]), but until that happens, he should be merged. Same goes for Shinji.
	::::::I don't think that Szayel will get beyond stub, but if we are going to wait on Nnoitra, I suppose a moratorium on Szayel is also fitting. I think Ulquiorra should also receive the moratorium treatment, as he may receive more characterization in the immediate future. Although I voted to keep Soifon's article, it is in major need of a cleanup, as much of it is from the omake and is of such minute detail as to border on the unnecessary. I did not cast a vote on Jin Kariya, as I am not entirely sure if he should retain an article. Majority (over 75%) of his article is plot summary; his article is basically plot coverage of the ENTIRE Bount arc. Until his article gets much needed cleanup, I think the issue should be revisited. ] 03:39, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

	:::::::Meh, finally voted. Hello, have you seen Szayel's article? Its like....BEYOND stub. He is on the same par as Mayuri. Nnoitra is a different case. I say '''merge''' him once his run is over, or if something spectacular about him happens we decide later. Mostly I voted keep, but the way Isshin, Yumichika and Kaien is going, I say merge. I voted merge on Hanataro as because he is only a comic relief, he has also been pushed out of the main storyline, not to mention he has only been important in the Soul Society arc.

	::::TTN, it is you who don't seem to understand Misplaced Pages policies very well in this case. There's a very important policy on Misplaced Pages called WP:CON (Misplaced Pages:Consensus), which is a policy set in stone and should always be followed. On the other hand, there's a guideline called WP:FICT, it's not a policy, it's not set in stone, and as we have seen recently, it's not even stable, with many users wanting to introduce significant changes to it. Guidelines on Misplaced Pages are meant to help users keep Misplaced Pages consistent, and not to dictate anything. For example, if a user starts a new article, the guideline called WP:MOS helps users understand how to format an article so that it looks like other Misplaced Pages articles, and there's no good reason that it shouldn't be followed. However, if there's a good reason not to follow a guideline on Misplaced Pages (e.g. WP:CON, WP:IAR per WP:COMMON, etc.), then it can be ignored in its entirety, unlike a policy. I really don't understand what your motivation is behind shoving these deletions down everyone's throats, but maybe you should stop accusing others of not adhering to policy and re-reading these policies yourself. -- ] <sup>(])</sup> 13:32, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
	::::Another thing you should re-read, TTN:
	::::A quote from WP:FICT (November 10, 2007):
	::::''To a limited extent, sub-articles are sometimes born for technical reasons of length or style. Even these articles need real-world information to prove their notability, but must rely on the parent article to provide some of this background material (due to said technical reasons). In these situations, the sub-article should be viewed as an extension of the parent article, and judged as if it were still a section of that article. Such sub-articles should clearly identify themselves as fictional elements of the parent work within the lead section, and editors should still strive to provide real-world content.''

More characters missing

In the Antagonists section of List of Bleach characters, there are a few characters not mentioned: Muramasa, the manifested zanpakutō with the ability to materialize other zanpakutō, as well as his owner, Kōga Kuchiki, who was sealed by Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto and Ginrei Kuchiki. Also, Kagerōza Inaba, the seventh seat of the twelfth division and creator of the reigai, who seeks after Nozomi, a green-haired modified soul who is a fugitive of the Soul Society. Ōko Yushima can also be added, as he is the one that extracted himself into the two modified souls, Nozomi and Inaba, to later fused himself into an all-powerful modified soul.

In the List of Hollow in Bleach, not all hollows shown in the anime are listed in this article, namely Hooleer (or Fūrā), Battikaroa, Michel and Yosuke. I think it's also necessary (but not required) to include the Tōjū (sword beasts) that appeared in the anime (yes, even Kirikaze). And if we are on that subject, all the zanpakutō spirits should be included in the List of Bleach characters (not just a few). Some Soul Reapers that are missing, namely Seizo Harugasaki, a dishonored Soul Reaper in the eleventh division, should be added in the List of Soul Reapers in Bleach.

Well, these are just suggestions on improving these pages, so I hope you can consider them and try to help me in this! AnimeEditior (talk) 1:00, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

I know Kubo seems to want to create an infinite row of characters but remember that Misplaced Pages is not an indiscriminate collection of information... So it's not recommended to include every single character when it just appeared. Does the character makes an impact on plot or is at least a frequent recurring character? I would include it. Does the character only makes brief appearances or isn't related to the plot or other characters? I wouldn't include. I would be even more cautious when including anime-exclusive characters. Making groups of minor characters is also a possibility (like what was did for the Sound Four and Taka on List of Naruto characters) when the characters are not that relevant individually but is part of an important group... Just my opinion, though. Gabriel Yuji (talk) 03:28, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

This is actually true, as even the head captain the leader of the soul society isn't mentioned in this article Karisma2003 (talk) 07:48, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

First-Last name basis

Ok just to get this straight some characters like Ichigo, Rukia, Chad, Orihime, and Uryu are referred to by first name, while others, like Aizen, Yamamoto, Hitsugaya, and Ukitake prefer to be called by last name. Should we refer to Kisuke Urahara by his first or last name since he's referred by both (last name in season 1 article and first name in TYBW article)? Also I'm a bit confused about Kenpachi Zaraki since in TYBW it appears that Kenpachi is actually a nickname. Also should we refer to Ichibei Hyosube by first or last name? HiGuys69420 (talk) 16:33, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

Reiou's name

I already posted of this in the TYBW wiki itself, but JIC:

The newest episode, 3x02 (#28 overall), revealed the Reiou's name. But while the subtitles had this as "Adnyeus", it's more likely—especially given the katakana form, Adonayeusu (アドナイェウス)—a blend of "Adonai" and a clipped form, (D)eus, of Latin Deus—Japanese rendering, deusu (デウス)—to match the German-esque vocalization of the Tetragrammaton that informs Yhwach. Thus, Adonayeus.
