List of Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 edition monsters

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Completely unsourced list with no indication of the subject's real-world notability. It also has about a dozen empty sections. Not a very active user (talk) 04:30, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete Delete per nom, seems like possible WP:OR violation as well.Grapefruit17 (talk) 14:21, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Wait, didn't I just comment on this? Oh, that was for the list of 3rd edition monsters, not 3.5 edition monsters.  There might be a place for articles on D&D monsters on Wikipedia.  This article just shows that either D&D is not nearly as culturally intrusive as its proponents think or that there is a massive media conspiracy to ignore it at every turn.  There are no secondary sources. I could see, maybe, having a "List of D&D monsters" article that listed monsters that are either unique to D&D (e.g. the Beholder) or are uniquely interpreted by D&D (Bahamut and Tiamat), but not making a giant table of contents of every book published by Wizards of the Coast between 2000 and the present.Rockphed (talk) 17:52, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - Much like at Articles for deletion/List of Dungeons & Dragons 3rd edition monsters, this list is basically just a transcription of the table of contents of a bunch of D&D books. Its not particularly useful as a navigation tool, and there are no reliable sources discussing specifically the 3.5 D&D monsters as a group, making it fail the notability requirements of stand alone lists.  Like Rockphed said, a singular list of the few actual notable D&D monsters would probably be a valid list, with actual sources to support the notability of the grouping.  These basically copied book contents, however, are not and do not.  Rorshacma (talk) 17:57, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment. It certainly isn't unsourced as claimed, as every monster is listed in a section corresponding to the book it first appeared in. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:54, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
