Dweller on the threshold

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A figure in esotericism. The article is full of apparent WP:OR (tagged since 2009) and lacks any substantial references, making most content unverifiable. A Google Books search yields only apparently unreliable esoteric literature, i.e., primary rather than secondary sources. For the same reasons, the topic's notability per WP:GNG is dubious. We'd need a reliable secondary source that, as a minimum, defines the topic in order to even consider keeping this as a stub with all the OR cut out.  Sandstein  19:47, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Merge/redirect to Guardian of the Threshold which is the most common term. — Paleo  Neonate  – 23:37, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
 * That other article also has problems, however... — Paleo  Neonate  – 23:39, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Change to disambiguation - there are three hatnote-linked pages, and a WP:DICTDEF, which is sufficient to keep a disambiguation page here. Most of the rest of the content should be removed as unsourced and non-encyclopedic. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 00:38, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
 *  Weak Delete - no evidence that this topic is notable. Possibly with more research? Looks like the content is based on books that I have no access to. Can you make a stronger case for notoriety?Sgerbic (talk) 01:46, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

 *  Weak Delete I do have one or two of the stories, and I have to say that as a literary concept it is not really that notable.Slatersteven (talk) 15:26, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Change to disambig, the article itself is obviously redundant with Guardian of the Threshold but the song/album/band should be linked from this term. The content should in principle be merged to the Guardian article but in reality all of it needs to be merged into a trash can. -165.234.252.11 (talk) 17:26, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete or blank/redirect to Guardian of the Threshold per WP:POVFORK and WP:Duplicate article. - LuckyLouie (talk) 18:14, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete -- non notable. After deletion, possibly use the page to disambig: Dweller on the Threshold (song), Dweller on the Threshold (album), and Dweller at the Threshold. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:59, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
