List of Dungeons & Dragons elf deities

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is a containment list for extremely trivial characters, but the list itself is too trivial to exist. It fails to establish its own notability as a grouping, and these characters are not important enough to justify an article split. There is no worth upmerging this to another list. The topic of D&D deities is worth talking about in the main setting articles of the various D&D settings, but there is no current justification that a massive list of all deities is needed to understand the franchise.

 * Delete - Like the other D&D deity lists, none of the entries are notable to pass the WP:GNG independently, and there are no reliable, secondary sources discussing the concept as a group in any manner that would allow this to pass WP:LISTN. There is nothing here but primary sourced, in-universe plot information, so there is nothing that needs preservation or merging.  Rorshacma (talk) 18:38, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete More in-universe D&D cruft nonsense. It's getting ridiculous. Wikipedia is not a D&D guide. sixty nine   • whaddya want? •  22:03, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge to Elf (Dungeons & Dragons). Perfectly legitimate merge target and merging should always be preferred over outright deletion. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:48, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Selective merge into Elf_(Dungeons_%26_Dragons). Unlike the other deities AfDs, where the proposed target was already overflowing with cruft and would not be improved by dumping more into it, this one has an obviously useful merge target. The religion section of Elf_(Dungeons_%26_Dragons) is unsourced and rudimentary. It actually would be improved by incorporating a few sentences of this article and one or two of the most relevant sources. It would have to be a very selective merge; 99% of this list of deities is cruft. I would be against a lazy Ctrl-C Ctrl-V text dump. Reyk YO! 19:25, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails NFICTION, through of course a selective merge at first is not a bad idea, if the content is referenced. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 20:35, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete without any kind of merge. None of the content is sourced to reliable secondary sources, it's all sourced to in-universe splatbooks. A merge would be placing unreliable content in the D&D Elf article, which is not desirable. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 09:21, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
