Can Genji deflect melee attacks?

I understand that Genji can deflect pretty much anything, save for beam weapons and a handful of lethal accessories. Can he deflect melee attacks though? I've been playing more Reaper lately, so I'm at a much closer proximity to characters, and normally if a Genji uses his deflect I stop firing to wait. Can I melee him safely, so that I'm not just moving around waiting for his deflect to end?
