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.

- Redirect to List of Bleach characters, why was this article re-made again? The whole thing is total WP:OR and fails per WP:N but seeing the character is relevant to Bleach I see no problem as it being a redirect. - Knowledgekid87 ( talk) 01:46, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
- Redirect to List of Bleach characters for the reasons that Knowledgekid87 stated above. -Fimatic ( talk | contribs) 04:04, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
- 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.-- 69.157.253.160 ( talk) 01:23, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

Merge to List of Bleach characters - IP's gotta point - "Don Kanonji" isn't mentioned on the " List of Bleach characters" article so don't see any point redirecting there if he's not mentioned? – Davey2010 • (talk) 06:39, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
- 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. Satellizer (´ ･ ω ･ `) 08:28, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
- Delete as original research about a non-notable character. Most importantly, do not redirect to a list article that does not even mention him. — teb728 t c 06:59, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
- Delete Why does this page even exist? Minor character is minor and not worth an entire article which consists of trivia. —KirtZ Message 00:30, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
- Delete. As above, a redirect should not be left, as the name is not even mentioned in List of Bleach characters. -- DAJF ( talk) 09:13, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
- 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. Calathan ( talk) 22:22, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
- 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. SephyTheThird ( talk) 23:39, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
