 * Delete: If there were a list of dungeons and dragons monsters article worth throwing this in, it might be worth redirecting. As it is, this is completely referenced to D&D books. I could see referencing to the autobiography of Gary Gygax as being a borderline real-world information source, but I do not believe such a document exists. Also, by the time this line of monsters was dreamed up, Gygax had ceased associating with the property.  I think WP:NOT includes several reasons to not include indiscriminate lists of D&D information.  "Wikipedia is not for something you thought up one day" applies to pretty much all D&D articles (though it is not in WP:NOT). Rockphed (talk) 15:14, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Well... there are plenty of lists of D&D monsters, but they are all up for deletion because they are literal directory listings without context. D&D monsters are not something "you" thought up one day, but they do fall under WP:INDISCRIMINATE if they are unreferenced.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 15:20, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * What I meant was that there isn't functional difference between something I conjure up from the aether in my basement and something some writer conjures up from the aether on behalf of wizards of the coast is nil until some third party starts talking about either idea.

 * Delete - Poorly sourced article on non-notable fictional creature. The only sources used are primary, and I have found no secondary sources that demonstrate notability.  The list that the previous AFD recommended merging to has, itself, already been deleted.  Rorshacma (talk) 19:30, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
