Moon Dog (Dungeons &amp; Dragons)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non notable Dungeons & Dragons monster mentioned in one supplement. No evidence of third party references. J Milburn (talk) 14:53, 1 March 2008 (UTC) Keep as notable to a real-world audience and consistent with what Wikipedia is, i.e. a specizalized encyclopedia on Dungeons & Dragons. Sincerely, -- Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 17:45, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Perhaps, merge with some bigger list of D&D creatures? Though really, I don't care about that article any more, now that kynoid was deleted... --Koveras ☭ 14:58, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge and/or Redirect into Planescape. BOZ (talk) 16:31, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge &/or Redirect as above. I'm almost sure they appeared in the original Monstrous Compendium, however. Eithin (talk) 16:35, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * They appeared in the first edition Monster Manual II (1983) and second edition Monstrous Compendium 8: Outer Planes Appendix (1991), which the article does not currently reflect. BOZ (talk) 17:20, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Maybe a brief mention on the Planescape or Outsider (Dungeons & Dragons) pages. Web Warlock (talk) 17:05, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - the also appeared in the 2nd edition Monstrous Manual. but unlike a beholder, being in mutiple monster related sourcebooks does not make the moon dog notable. i don't know how merging mosnters into lists would work as it may seem all monsters shold be listed even if they aren't notable, and that would just be an article with a HUGE list on Monsters in D&D. and i dont think that is something needed here. shadzar|Talk|contribs 17:51, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * There are many D&D critter lists; List of Dungeons & Dragons deities, for example. Cheers Jack Merridew 09:12, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, because Zeus is such a critter.--Prosfilaes (talk) 15:21, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 * FWIW, I was using critter rather loosely. I 'spect you knew that. Cheers, Jack Merridew 15:36, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep or Merge but to where I don't know. Nom is incorrect in where it appeared, been around for quite a while in a number of sources. 68.40.58.255 (talk) 01:06, 2 March 2008 (UTC) — 68.40.58.255 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Delete. The Moon Dog has been around, but only in TSR/WOTC first-party publications. No independent notability, no third-party sources, so no article. --Ig8887 (talk) 03:54, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete — non-notable. Mention in a list. Cheers, Jack Merridew 09:09, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete No secondary sources, no assertion of notability. Fails WP:RPG/N and WP:N. Percy Snoodle (talk) 10:46, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Fly it to the moon and leave it there. -Jéské ( v^_^v :L7 Kacheek Defier ) 20:03, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Fictional characters-related deletion discussions.   —Pixelface (talk) 08:38, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable stock character with no reliable secondary sources to demonstrate notability outside D&D canon. This article fails WP:NOT as the primary source is a gameguide, and the descriptions fail WP:NOT and WP:WAF as well, so there is no benefit from keeping this fancruft.--Gavin Collins (talk) 09:10, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, no notability outside of the D&D universe(s). Lankiveil (speak to me) 06:04, 9 March 2008 (UTC).
