Gatotsu

Moved from Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English:
Portuguese, might be a copyvio. Sietse 11:02, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)

If it is copied, Google doesn't find the source. Martial-arts related. -- Jmabel | Talk 17:36, Jan 28, 2005 (UTC)

More precisely, swordsmanship, and I think it says it's a fictional technique. -- Jmabel | Talk 05:49, Feb 6, 2005 (UTC)

It is a fictional technique from the Rurouni Kenshin manga series. I don't believe it deserves its own article, and the text is not encyclopedic. It could be added to the main article, but it is really a dificult text, that tries to mimic the estereotyped writing of samurai masters, full of metaphors. I would rather someone more knowleadgeble in the manga wrote about it. JoaoRicardo 20:55, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Sounds like its not worth the trouble of translation & JoaoRicardo seems to think it's not even worth a transwiki to the Portuguese Wikipedia. Apparently (barely) valid topic, no problem with someone writing something from scratch. -- Jmabel | Talk 00:31, Feb 12, 2005 (UTC)

Delete, untranslated, made-up cruft. Wyss 18:37, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Redirect to Rurouni Kenshin minor characters or Saito Hajime. The character, Saito Hajime, isn't all that particularly minor, as he's very well remembered among fans of the serious. It is about his swordsmanship move and there is a small note at the bottom of the page for Saito Hajime. -- AllyUnion (talk) 12:52, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Redirect to Saito Hajime. Kappa 14:15, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
