Jewel of Four Souls

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Unnotable fictional jewel from the Inu Yasha manga and anime series. It isn't a character and article is almost entirely WP:OR and plot summary. The jewel has no significant coverage in reliable, third party sources and its relevant role in series already better covered by main article plot summary and individual episode and manga chapters summaries in their respective lists. Tagged for various issues since June 2008 with no major change at all. Fails WP:N, WP:PLOT, and WP:WAF. -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 02:41, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Inu Yasha as likely search term. I don't see anything worth salvaging that isn't already in the main article. --Farix (Talk) 03:29, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect as per Farix. Although I can't speak for the content of the page, if my memory is correct it's a prominent plot point and is definitely a likely search term. Dandy Sephy (talk) 04:13, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Is it actually even called Jewel of the Four Souls anywhere in the English licensed versions? My recollection may be off, but in the anime dub, it is called the Shikon Jewel or The Sacred Jewel, not the "Jewel of the Four Souls". Ditto the manga. -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 04:29, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * To be honest I'm not entirely sure. It was several years ago I watched it, and only for 26episodes. The japanese is actually more familiar to me then the english name, but Viz state "Jewel of Four Souls" on their web site Dandy Sephy (talk) 04:01, 9 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge to Inu Yasha. Central maguffin of the entire series. Edward321 (talk) 15:32, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Selective merge usable material (which may amount to a redirect) to Inu Yasha. Definitely at least leave a redirect as it's a plausable search term as one of the official translations of the main plot engine of the series. —Quasirandom (talk) 17:59, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
