List of Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition monsters

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Badly sourced list with no indication of the subject's real-world notability. Due to the lack of sources, this might also count as original research. Not a very active user (talk) 05:30, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete WP:NOT. A list of notable monsters (blue-linked or which can be sourced to third-parties) from the D&D universe across all editions would be reasonable, but not a list of each monster in each guidebook. --M asem (t) 05:44, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete per above. This list suffers the same problems as the other D&D monster lists also currently on AFD.  There are no sources showing notability specifically for the 4th Edition group of monsters, and the list is just a transcription of the contents of the various 4th edition books.

 * Comment. It certainly isn't badly sourced as claimed, as every monster is listed in a section corresponding to the book it first appeared in. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:55, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - D&D definitely has plenty of notable elements worthy of articles, but it does not need list after list of game guide minutia. One single list of those with articles and maybe those with some notability (one real world source but not enough to hold an article) would be appropriate. TTN (talk) 11:09, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
