 * Keep - There are around 40 novels in the Xanth series and many characters in this family tree have been major characters in the novels. I was not around to save Goblin family of Xanth which should have been kept for the same reason. So unless every fictional family tree on Wikipedia is getting deleted, then a family tree which spans dozens of novels should be kept. Keeping track of the relationships in the Xanth series is easier with family trees. LA (T) @ 19:44, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
 * LA, would you be willing to do the work to incorporate these articles into a more central List of Xanth characters? It would require some work to selectively trim and restructure the articles, but it's probably the most viable way that you could (to use your word) save this content.

 * Delete This is not a notable concept. It is not mentioned in-depth as a family by reliable sources. We don't have non-notable family articles like this for real people, let alone imaginary ones.--Yellow Diamond Δ Direct Line to the Diamonds  01:57, 2 January 2017 (UTC)


 * The article was already copied to http://xanth.wikia.com/wiki/Family_of_Merlin and edited this year by the person who created the article here on Wikipedia years before then. I think things like this are better on the ad funded wikia than on Wikipedia.    D r e a m Focus  04:22, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete: I agree with Dream Focus that this is more appropriate for a wikia than Wikipedia. Aoba47 (talk) 18:50, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Unsourced collection of cruft on some minor fictional characters. Like the various other Xanth articles that have come up on AFD, it should be Deleted, as the article name seems to have been created by the article's author, and thus is not a valid search term. 64.183.45.226 (talk) 19:25, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
