Uryū Ishida

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Basically a fanpage. Looks well-sourced, but on closer inspection, most of the sources are primary and not RS. In order to merit a standalone article, there must be SIGCOV of the character himself, not simply the show he comes from. Just Another Cringy Username (talk) 04:09, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Redirect to character list for now. I've recently rescued (unredirected) Yoruichi's article because I found sources sufficient to write the section on Yoruichi_Shihōin. Sadly, I don't see such attention given to Uryu in sources. Current reception is based on WP:SIGCOV-failing mentions in passing and some trivial rankings/merchandise. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 01:16, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep as not only do the sourced help the article pass notability but the article is also quite well written. The casting section includes information on Ryo Yoshizawa's challenges and thoughts on playing the role and the reception section does have several websites (not just anime ones). When this was PRODed yesterday I started a discussion to improve the article and it has been only a day since, which I don't think is enough time to immediately improve it. Also, I disagree that it is a fanpage, as it has casting information and reception rather than just trivia, which fan pages usually do. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 09:17, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment I'm of the opinion that Ishida is likely notable, but I'm not caught up in the series, and not going to spoil the arcs I haven't seen yet to prove it. Not the end of the world if it's redirected/merged, but again--I suspect the sources are there for notability. No objection to cleanup, of course. Jclemens (talk) 07:35, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge with List of Bleach characters if sources can't be found. There's some interesting and well-sourced information but no WP:SIGCOV. CohenTheBohemian (talk) 16:02, 28 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Weak Merge/Redirect to the Bleach Character List. I think it's possible for sources to exist out there, and some likely do, but right now the article's sourcing state is rather weak. I wouldn't be opposed to it sticking around, but unless some extra stuff comes up, I think I'll have to lean this way. Pokelego999 (talk) 22:52, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
