The result was redirect to Naruto. Preserving the article history could be useful is someone wanted to use some of the material in another article. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 20:35, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

After delisting this as a good article, I will go further and say that this is actually unencyclopedic as a whole. It is entirely sourced from Naruto itself, with the exception of a couple clickbaity top-10 lists. And it's already described in the Naruto Wikia. Fails WP:GNG and WP:FANCRUFT. There are some mentions of the jutsu in various books, but they are only passing mentions. The most prominent one was about the Sexy Jutsu, which could easily be integrated into Naruto (character).ZXCVBNM (TALK) 08:11, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect - Like the nom's much-needed boldness in bringing this to AFD. Although this is well-organized fancruft, it is still fancruft, sourced almost entirely to primary sources; these kinds of sources cannot be used to gauge notability.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 18:06, 20 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.Relisting comment: Seems to be a former good article. Could use more participation and significant discussion would be useful.

- Delete as cruft as it has no real-world perspective on the material. Could be summarized in the Naruto article's setting or plot section as "ninja techniques known as jutsus", with a link to ninjutsu. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:13, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Why not just link "Jutsu" to Martial arts or the appropriate article from Jutsu on the Naruto article instead? I don't see any reason why this should have its own redirect to Naruto as the term means "technique, method, spell, skill or trick" - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 16:20, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
