Fails WP:GNG. Seems to follow the usually pattern of being deleted via AfD, restored to act as a redirect, and then restored as an article for whatever reason. TTN (talk) 01:04, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete, as was the consensus at the previous AFD. Nothing has changed in the last 13 years as far as notability for this minor fictional deity goes, and it still completely fails the WP:GNG.  Since I already know there are going to be some suggestion to redirect this to the List of Greyhawk deities, I will preemptively argue that even if this is the consensus, it should still be deleted before the redirect, to prevent the typical IP user restoring it against consensus, as is so common with these D&D articles.

 * Comment - Just adding on that I agree with the below that a redirect to Metamerism (biology) should be created after this is deleted. Rorshacma (talk) 16:04, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge to List of Greyhawk deities. BOZ (talk) 02:59, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Metamerism (biology). Sending people searching for the scientific term to this cruft brings the project into disrepute.Pontificalibus 08:02, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete and Redirect to Metamerism (biology). Article is sourced entirely to primary sources, and as such fails GNG. Since it has been shown that this article could potentially be recreated, it should be deleted before redirecting. Devonian Wombat (talk) 08:46, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Merge to List of Greyhawk deities, where he already has a mention. Then create a disambiguation page. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:19, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete, do not redirect to Greyhawk. Deletion was the consensus of the previous AFD and the reasons were solid. Fails GNG. Redirection is not required. If the subject gets a mention on another page, Google will find it, and it is extremely unlikely anyone would search Wikipedia for this unless already familiar with the subject and thus with the Greyhawk pages too. Creating a redirect will only encourage the cycle to repeat again. The suggestion to redirect to Metamerism (biology) is sound however. -- Sirfurboy (talk) 10:52, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete, then redirect to Metamerism (biology) and possibly semiprotect to prevent further recreation attempts by IPs. Not a very active user (talk) 14:32, 23 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete, then establish a protected redirect to Metamerism (biology). I agree completely with Devonian Wombat. Reyk YO! 23:36, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete as per previous consensus. Chetsford (talk) 00:27, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
