Sharess

The article contains only primary sources detailing minute characteristics of no encyclopedic value. It has little room for expansion, and the summary on List of Forgotten Realms deities is suitable enough for such a character. TTN (talk) 23:39, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep and expand. The article does not currently cover this fictional element's use in fiction set in the same world as the games are, per the 'books' find source link, there are multiple additional sources there.  Note, however, that searching for this fictional element is severely hampered by misspellings of 'shares' that seem quite common, given the frequency of that word.

 * How would any of those provide real world notability for the topic? The only available resources are the lorebooks and any pertinent novels, all of which are primary and framed in an in-universe tone. There are a number of D&D characters that can demonstrate notability, but I cannot see this being one of them. TTN (talk) 22:46, 25 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep per Jclemens, or merge into List of Forgotten Realms deities. BOZ (talk) 14:11, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge into List of Forgotten Realms deities. I am sure I could find some independent, non-TSR, non-WOTC material for this, but the best call is to merge. Web Warlock (talk) 11:46, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge into List of Forgotten Realms deities. My knowledge of D&D lore is significant but not expansive, so I could be wrong about this, but Sharess is more of a bit player than anything else. There are some gods/godesses in the D&D pantheon, like Lolth, Mystra, and possibly Tiamat, that I would see as meeting the standard of notability on account of their frequent and meaningful roles across a large number of works of D&D fiction, but Sharess (and most of the pantheon) aren't independently notable.

 * Merge into List of Forgotten Realms deities. Primary sources only, doesn't demonstrate independent notability per WP:GNG and thus doesn't deserve a stand-alone article.Folken de Fanel (talk) 19:23, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
 * there is no independently produced third party coverage to indicate stand alone notability. delete or merge.-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  03:46, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge into List of Forgotten Realms deities unless and until significant coverage comes up for this relatively minor deity. —Torchiest talkedits 03:57, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
