Medusa (Dungeons & Dragons)
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article does not establish notability. There is nothing showing why this particular monster has any particular relevance outside of its mythological basis. The previous AfD was not even a true keep, but rather that outright deletion was not the consensus. As the content is fully in-universe and more relevant to Wikia, outright deletion or some other means of removing the article will provide about the same outcome because there is really noting to merge.

 * , Please describe what efforts you have made to assess that this article does not represent a notable or improvable target per WP:BEFORE; it'll give the rest of us a good starting point. Jclemens (talk) 05:58, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I looked at the current state of the article, which has nothing despite having existed for almost a decade. I looked at the previous AfD, which has nothing despite various keep votes. I looked at the above searches with a couple different search variations for enough time to believe that further searching would not yield anything valuable. TTN (talk) 11:27, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Merge to List of Dungeons & Dragons monsters (1974–76) per nominator's comments. Aoba47 (talk) 19:33, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of Dungeons & Dragons monsters (1974–76). All that really exists on this creature is a bunch of primary sources that have a lot of trivial in-universe information, and nothing that shows any reason why this particular iteration of a very common fantasy/mythology monster has any independent notability.  64.183.45.226 (talk) 21:49, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge I found some independent reliable sources:, and a very brief but interesting . While independent and reliable, they are not in enough depth to support a standalone article, But they could serve as sources for verification of a selectively merged entry in List of Dungeons & Dragons monsters (1974–76). --Mark viking (talk) 22:21, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
