List of Dungeons & Dragons orc 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, this article fails WP:LISTN, as it is sourced entirely to primary sources. Since none of the listed characters have articles, it has no navigational purpose. Devonian Wombat (talk) 12:14, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - per WP:GAMEGUIDE, Wikipedia is not a game guide. Not notable beyond that scope. -- Sirfurboy (talk) 12:16, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep or selectively merge to Orc (Dungeons & Dragons). BOZ (talk) 13:02, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge as above. Perfectly legitimate merge target and merging should always be preferred over outright deletion. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:18, 23 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete- I agree that this fails WP:LISTN, and it is clear that the proposed merge target (which is already very bad) would not be improved by including any of this excessive fancruft. Reyk YO! 13:46, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Like all of the other race-specific deity lists, none of the individual entries are notable, and there are no non-primary sources discussing them as a group that would allow them to pass WP:LISTN. Merging is not necessary for non-notable, non-reliably sourced material.  Rorshacma (talk) 16:24, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Pure gamecruft, fails WP:LISTN.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 18:04, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
