List of Dungeons & Dragons dragon deities

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Yet another listing of D&D gods by race, no indication this passes WP:GNG, WP:NFICTION, WP:LISTN, pure WP:PLOT based on WP:PRIMARY. See also related AfDs: Articles for deletion/List of Dungeons & Dragons gnome deities, Articles for deletion/List of Dungeons & Dragons halfling deities.

 * Keep or merge to Dragon (Dungeons & Dragons). Just noting for the record that Articles for deletion/List of Dungeons & Dragons halfling deities was closed as merge rather than delete, which is also a reasonable outcome here. BOZ (talk) 03:26, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

 * keep Bahamut and Tiamat, the two most important Dragon deities in D&D, articles survived AfD. The category as a whole is important; thus a list article about well-known and lesser-notable individual subjects satisfies wp:cln and wp:listn. AugusteBlanqui (talk) 16:18, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - As with the rest of the species-specific deity lists, there are no reliable sources talking about the grouping as a whole that goes beyond basic plot or passing mentions - basically only Tiamat and Bahamut are potentially notable among the group, and are the only ones that really get any kind of coverage that could argued to be from reliable, secondary sources, and they already have their own articles. So, the grouping fails WP:LISTN, and as only two of these entries are blue-linked, it does not really serve much of a purpose as a navigational tool.  The only deities here that would warrant being merged into the main Dragon (Dungeons & Dragons) would be Tiamat & Bahamut, but since they already have separate articles, that isn't really necessary at this point.

 * Delete All these "deity" lists are pure listcruft that fail WP:LISTN completely.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 17:49, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. To repeat myself from earlier AfDs for articles of this type: I admit I'm a little nervous about deleting these lists; I suspect there will be some secondary sources out there on the deities individually, and, together, justify the list as a whole. Absent evidence of those sources, I support a merge to Dragon (Dungeons & Dragons). Josh Milburn (talk) 16:27, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge as above. As usual, deletion of information which can be merged elsewhere benefits nobody. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:56, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge as per Necrothesp. Daranios (talk) 20:47, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
