Fails the general notability guideline as there are no published sources on this subject which are independent from companies which produced the game sets. Simone 11:48, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete or merge. Deathlibrarian (talk) 01:56, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
 * transwiki to some fan site that would love this kind of trivia. as for Wikipedia, the subject fails WP:GNG in that there is no significant coverage about the subject of the article by independent reliable sources (merely appearances of the character in primary sources). that leaves merge, redirect or delete. Since the proposed target for the merge is already bloated with only primary sourced in universe content, a merge of more primary source in universe content would seem to be merely shoveling the shit from one corner of the stall to another. As a redirect Adam (Ravenloft) seems a pretty damn implausible search term and we have been there already and so it would need to be locked. Delete seems the most appropriate. --  TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  12:13, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge per BOZ. Hobit (talk) 23:06, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
 * you do realize that since BOZ did not identify any policies or guidelines to support his posistion that your !vote is equally invalid? -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  00:30, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
 * First of all, please read WP:PRESERVE. Secondly, I will not again respond to someone who engages in name calling on a regular basis.  Calling people names is rarely helpful and you seem to wallow in it as you engage in it in literally every AfD I recall seeing your name in. Hobit (talk) 00:36, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you for adding a policy or guideline to support your position. Kindly now show where I have called anyone a name in this or any other AfD or else retract your accusation. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  00:55, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect  into List of Ravenloft characters. The info is verifiable in authoritative sources and the topic is a reasonable search term (searching Google for Adam Ravenloft gives this article as the top hit and adam's wrath ravenloft yields it as the third hit). Per WP:PRESERVE, merging of verifiable topics is preferable to deletion and WP:ATD-M states Pages about non-notable fictional elements are generally merged into list articles or articles covering the work of fiction in which they appear. Difficulty in maintaining a redirect is an editor problem and not a valid reason for deletion, per WP:SUSCEPTIBLE. --Mark viking (talk) 23:37, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
