Elementals in fiction

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Unacceptable trivia collection (WP:FIVE: "Wikipedia is not a trivia collection"), far overshadowed by the main article in relevance and citation. Eyrian 16:26, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Another trivia-filled article without the proper sources.--JForget 01:18, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep The material is verifiable; the current lack of sources is cause for improvement, not deletion (and that's not the only thing that can be improved). The material is encyclopedic; it could be useful to someone trying to find a game, book, etc. based on partial memory, or to an author looking for sources.  This is not trivia; within the scope of the books, games, etc., the material is significant.  Matchups 01:24, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep A minor pop culture phenomenon, where medieval mythology from Paracelsus continues into modern day mythology, as in Magick: The Gathering.Mandsford 00:28, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep A useful fantasy fiction archetype. Verifiable, and hard to see how this forms trivia.  A list of examples and a list of trivia are two totally different things. JulesH 17:23, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per Matchups. Mathmo Talk 22:50, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
