Leucrotta (Dungeons & Dragons)
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The topic of this article fails WP:GNG, as the article cites only one non-primary source, and multiple sources are generally needed to establish notability. The sources mentioned in the previous AfD mostly discuss the real-world mythological creature with the same name, rather than the D&D monster.

 * Delete - The prior AFD was kept on some very bizarre rationale, such as the spelling of the creature in D&D somehow made it more notable. Or, worse yet, the fact that some scholarly books on the actual mythological creature were published after the D&D creature was created must mean that they were "influenced" by D&D.  A claim that is completely false, and has absolutely no sources indicating otherwise.  The truth of the matter is that D&D did not create this monster, nor even this particular spelling of the creature.  It was just one of the hundreds of D&D monsters that were adaptations of pre-existing pieces of folklore.  All of the sources brought forth in the old AFD were on the mythological creature, and do not mention D&D at all.  I don't know if "geek.com", the only current secondary source, is considered to be a reliable source, but even if it is, the coverage of the monster is a trivial "top ten" style list.  All further sources that are actually valid reliable, secondary sources are discussing the mythological version, not the D&D version.  Rorshacma (talk) 16:47, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - WP:GAMEGUIDE - Wikipedia is not the monster manual and this has no notability beyond being part of the D&D game guide. The previous AfD is odd, the arguments are wrong. This article does not meet WP:GNG. -- Sirfurboy (talk) 17:07, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
