Speaking of Shuhei Hisagi, should his Bankai entry on his page be changed from "Not yet achieved" to "Not yet revealed"?

No because he is 1) not a captain (which bankai is a requirement to be a captain) and 2) because we don't know what Kensei means when he said "taken out before he could show the fruits of his labor". Because as far as we know he could have just got more powerful or formed a new kido/zanpakuto tech.

I don't think it was ever stated that Bankai was a requirement to become a captain. It's just that noone, with the exception of Kenpachi Zaraki, has ever been able to accomplish such a feat.
