Re:Arrancar
Hi. First of all, please understand that minor characters in general are non-notable (see WP:FICT). We have turned a blind eye on a number of articles about minor characters simply because they are alive and could yet prove notable. However, characters who are dead and minor are not notable. This includes Luppi (I think we just need a few more chapters to be sure he's dead for good - we all thought he was dead after Hitsugaya's attack), the 5 arrancar who went with Grimmjow, as well as Kaien. I have also voiced my personal disapproval with the fact that Kaien has an article, but a straw poll a while ago decided that the article should stay. However, the article about Edorad (note: Eduardo is incorrect) for instance was AFD'd and subsequently turned into a redirect with a broad concensus. I think there was just one user who voted to keep the article (User:Access Timeco; see this) as it was.

As for your friend who wrote a 'great article' that was deleted, I don't know who you're talking about. Maybe User:Grimjaw? But in any case, new Bleach articles are often also looked down on because of a disregard for conventions and proper writing. In other words, none of those articles about the arrancar were great; they were probably rather poor before the regular editors copyedited them. This is why we encourage new editors to join in and contribute, but respect those who pay attention to how they write before starting to write. Remember that Wikipedia is a general purpose encyclopedia, not a Bleach fan club.

So, in conclusion, no, you shouldn't write an article about Edorad Leones, it will be deleted. However, it would be great if you contributed to other articles. Make sure to pay attention to the small details, like using 'ō' instead of 'o' or 'ou' when needed, spelling names/terms correctly (Edorad, not Eduardo; and arrancar, not arancars), and we hope to see more contributions from you.
