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

The non-notable D&D variant of a mummy. Nearly all of the sources are primary game books and magazines. The only source being used that is not is a review of the Monster Manual as a whole, which is not significant coverage. Searching for additional soruces, the only secondary sources I'm finding is "The Monsters Know What They're Doing" which, as usual, is just a game-guide describing their stats exactly as they appear in the game and do not contribute to establishing notability. The article was kept in a AFD a decade ago, using arguments that would not fly today, such as that sources probably exist somewhere, or the even more bizarre argument that D&D mummies are somehow the only version people have heard of.

 * Delete - Per WP:GAMEGUIDE, wikipedia is not a game guide and this is not notable outside of the guide. -- Sirfurboy (talk) 17:09, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Already mentioned in Mummy (monster) and that is enough. The article is fancruft that fails GNG.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 17:41, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
 * merge to Mummy (monster) as similar subject matter Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 18:35, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
 * What would you merge, that is not already there? Or do you mean the page should redirect to there? Thanks. -- Sirfurboy (talk) 15:11, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I'd expand the mention a bit on the latter page as it has been a D&D monster through 5 editions and 40+ years. Not a huge bit but not nothing. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 23:06, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. DnD cruft, hopefully this year we can de-MonsterManual Wikipedia. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 20:23, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete as WP:FANCRUFT Chetsford (talk) 21:28, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect as per Cas Liber. The corresponding part in Mummy (monster) is still missing the sources present here, and that way the history is preserved for potential future use. Daranios (talk) 14:20, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
