Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zanpakutō
the nominator is simply wrong. The ''Zanpakutō'' is a fairly recent invention so you wouldn't expect it to appear in books and such, and I don't read anime/manga-related magazines to know for sure that it appeared there (although I'm sure it has). However, various ''Zanpakutō'' are subjects of merchandising and cosplaying. http://www.trueswords.com/ichigo-bleach-sword-p-2088.html Replicas and even related *http://www.animewild.com/product_info.php?products_id=70221 keychains are sold on various sites and in stores, not necessary manga-related. Moreover, the ''Zanpakutō'' is central to the ''Bleach'' franchise, and everything in the article is notable, starting with the description and ending with the list. Therefore, being such a large article, it cannot be merged with Bleach (manga) or a similar article per . To that end, it is similar to the article List of Middle-earth weapons and armour. According to  and : ''If an article becomes too large or a section of an article has a length that is out of proportion to the rest of the article it is recommended that a split is carried out.''. I think it doesn't get any more clear than this. No reason at all to delete the article
