The result was delete all, implemented as protected redirects. I'm trying something slightly new here. We have consensus that these are not appropriate stand-alone articles, essentially for the reasons given in the nomination. But several editors assert that the material could be usefully merged to other articles. I'm a bit skeptical about this (the only sources cited are primary sources) but there are some limited cases where primary sources may be used. To allow for limited re-use of this material (to the extent it is well-sourced and as long as there is consensus for any mergers), I am implementing the "delete" consensus not through deletion but through protected redirection to the respective "list of" articles. The redirects should be nominated for speedy deletion on their talk pages, citing this AfD, if no merger has occurred after several months or so. Sandstein 06:39, 24 July 2008 (UTC) reply
Fails WP:N, WP:PLOT, WP:WAF, and WP:FICT. The topic of the various "species" within the Bleach series has not "received significant real-world coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Extremely excessive in-universe article sprinkled with personal essay style "discussion" and OR. Redundant to the List of Soul Reapers in Bleach, which already adequately covers the topic in an appropriate fashion.
I am also nominating the following related pages because they all fail the same guidelines and are redundant to their respective lists:
