Ryusei-6 wrote: Remember some of our user base is interested in gaining access to the info that these Novels may have - myself included. I'm sure there are sites out there with more info of whats in those novels, this site focuses on the Manga and then the Anime. Everything else is Other media. There's a place for it but it's not our focus.

Ryusei-6 wrote: They could be in fact rubbish but regardless, it is still info which can be of value as it relates to character development. Non-Canon character development per the stance of this Wiki in the same way "Character Development" in the movies is Non-Canon and thus does not belong in articles focused on the Manga characters.

If someone wants to translate the Novels after proving themselves worthy then sure why not. In the relevant places. I, for one, am not going to focus on the Manga and Anime. You know, rather than spend years learning to be literate in Japanese just for someones whims on how people should be spending their free time on this wiki.

People edit this Wiki in their free time, they don't get paid for it like Librarians do. I actually have spent hundreds of Pound Sterling on the Anime so that I can make sure the images and gifs are up to standard and its a job I have to continue to do after a decade.

If someone wants to join the Bleach Wiki:Translation Corner and focus on the Novel articles they are free to do so. Just don't expect people here to give up their free time to learn Japanese to purchase a Japanese book to translate it because someone thinks its a good idea. Especially when so many have no interest in Novels that they don't consider Canon.
