Ghoul (Dungeons & Dragons)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

All the references are to first-party sources, i.e., to game guides and other material published by the game's various copyright holders. Third-party sourcing is lacking both in the article as it stands and in my attempts to find better ones. WP:GNG asks for significant coverage independent of the subject. Despite the longevity and number of submissions, does not appear to be notable under the general or specific guidelines. Not significantly better-sourced since the wp:Articles for deletion/Dungeons & Dragons creatures discussion. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 18:48, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Redirect to List of Dungeons & Dragons monsters (1974–76). While this creature does have one third-party soruce (The "Dungeons & Dragons For Dummies"), the actual text talking about them in the book is very brief, and is nothing more than a summary of its Monstrous Manual entry.  By itself, this is not enough to establish notability, and as I'm finding no addition sources, it should not be a stand alone article.  The standard info on the creature is already present in the target article, so a merge isn't really necessary.  64.183.45.226 (talk) 19:27, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep as the For Dummies source is an indicator of notability, or merge per above. BOZ (talk) 23:49, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Redirect to a monster list, or possibly merge to Ghouls in popular culture. The For Dummies book counts for something, but as it's a licensed game guide, probably not a lot. Josh Milburn (talk) 23:58, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
