Previously a redirect to
List of Bleach characters, the page was restored after
this discussion with the suggestion an AFD should take place after restoration. This is that AFD. Page was a redirect for 7 years before it suddenly came up for discussion.
Minor support character without sufficient notability to warrant a separate article. Possible place on
List of Bleach characters but given the very large cast of that series and the low importance of the character there doesn't seem much need for either a redirect or a merge.

I noticed that the character is not even mentioned on the character page meaning that a redirection would not be useful as things stand now. Unless someone is planning to add info on this character deletion may be the best step.--

Delete - I actually assumed he was an important character but as the below have pointed out = If he was important he would've been on the list anyway..... –

Delete outright. If Don Kanonji really is a "character [...] so obscure that it is not mentioned in a very inclusive list of characters", as stated by
User:TEB728 on the RfD, perhaps he shouldn't exist on Wikipedia at all.

Delete as original research about a non-notable character. Most importantly, do not redirect to a list article that does not even mention him. —

Delete. As others have stated, he is a very minor character. He was basically featured in one episode, then showed up occasionally as a comic relief character in episodes not related to the main plot. I don't see any evidence that he is notable. The article
List of Bleach characters already seems overly long, with a lot of minor characters listed, so merging to it would only make it worse.

The article is actually even worse than I expected. It requires a severe and focused no-prisoners rewrite, but I suspect no one will do it due to the likely politics involved. If I recall correctly the articles for the franchise are badly handled as a whole in much the same way. Unfortunately this is what happens when a series has dozens of characters that pop up on a fairly regular basis or form pretty large story arcs.
