Battōsai[edit]

Blatant original research, unreferenced, and unencyclopedic. This is not a historical term, it is fictional, and exclusive perhaps only to Rurouni Kenshin. I believe it has no possible chances of primary and secondary information. Suggest deletion of this article and any redirects. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 16:39, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to ~~Ruroni Kenshin~~ (or perhaps another article within that franchise). It is possible the word be searched for that purpose. Word appears to be a simple derivation of Battojutsu. Notability and even usage is not established outside of the Kenshin fictional universe. -Verdatum (talk) 19:51, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Himura Kenshin looks like a better redirect. -Verdatum (talk) 14:53, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. All the important info of this article is in the Himura Kenshin article.Tintor2 (talk) 20:25, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Agree that at least a redirect should be left behind -- it is a plausible search term (which in fact I once used). Withholding comments for the moment on whether to keep the article. —Quasirandom (talk) 01:46, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Himura Kenshin -- not that there's much left to merge. Secondary personas of fictional characters should be documented in the main article for the character, just as secondary personas of real people should. —Quasirandom (talk) 01:56, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (to clear unused content) and recreate as a redirect to Himura Kenshin. Pure WP:OR and fails WP:N. AnmaFinotera (talk) 01:48, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect. --Gwern (contribs) 20:25 15 February 2008 (GMT)
Redirect to Kenshin Himura. Better solution: keep the history of this article. Zerokitsune (talk) 02:48, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
REDIRECT and Merge some of the pertinant information not already in the parent article.--Sallicio ^{$\color {Red}\oplus$} 19:28, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
