The result was delete. No real consensus on whether to redirect (or where to), but I don't foresee much trouble for any editor who wishes to boldly implement a redirect somewhere appropriate. –  Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 00:39, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete Extremely minor element in D&D. There's not a single source present in this article, and searches bring up nothing of note, just fansites and forum posts.  Most of the non-D&D related results are referring to the island of Skye, whose article confirms that this was a name used for it, so perhaps the article space should be used as a redirect to the real-world location instead.  64.183.45.226 (talk) 20:30, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge to Flanaess. BOZ (talk) 21:27, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't often argue with other people's AFD comments, but in this case, I have to ask. When the article has zero sources, not even any of the usual primary D&D sources, and, as I mentioned, could be useful as a redirect to an actual, real world location that goes by the name, what rationale are you arguing here to either Keep or Merge? 64.183.45.226 (talk) 21:53, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Good question. Grayfell (talk) 09:57, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect to Skye, or at the very least create a dab page. I suspect there will be other "Misty Isle"s in fiction. Josh Milburn (talk) 03:38, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Actually, there are "Misty Isles" in the Prince Valiant comic series. Rogermx (talk) 01:24, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete/redirect - No sources at all, no article. I'm sure a source or two could be found, but they would almost certainly be from TSR/Wizards with no outside input, making them useless for GNG. Grayfell (talk) 09:57, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Seeing as consensus is this is not a notable topic, I've redirected it to Skye. Feel free to make it a disambiguation instead, if you prefer.Yellow Diamond Δ Direct Line to the Diamonds  04:13, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Please don't redirect articles that are at AfD, especially when there are other options proposed. ansh 666 05:38, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Is that a guideline? I thought it said anyone could redirect articles like that.Yellow Diamond Δ Direct Line to the Diamonds  22:52, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
 * It's not (the closest thing would probably be WP:BRD), but it's common courtesy to leave it until the AfD is over unless it's completely uncontroversial. ansh 666 23:44, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Is Skye commonly referred to as "Misty Isle"? From that article, it's one proposed etymology, but I don't think that's really enough for a redirect there, and a web search turns up mostly generic companies and only a few references to Skye (a local company and a travel article). Then again, I'm about 1/3 of the globe away, so it could be a more local usage that I haven't heard before. There don't seem to be any other notable (not even WP:notable) Misty Isles so I'm not convinced a dab is the right idea here. ansh 666 05:49, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I couldn't tell you how common it is, but a Google Books search suggests that the name is used occasionally. Do you propose an alternative course of action? Josh Milburn (talk) 23:18, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't really know. If it is used occasionally, and there isn't much else to point it at, then the redirect is probably the best course. ansh 666 23:44, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
