This does not establish notability independent of Eberron through the inclusion of real world information from reliable, third party sources. Most of the information is made up of plot details better suited to Wikia. There is no current assertion for future improvement of the article, so extended coverage is unnecessary.

 * transwiki to some fansite that would love this trivia. As for Wikipedia, the subject fails WP:GNG with no significant coverage by independent sources and so the options are: merge, redirect, or delete. Given the article has only primary sourced inuniverse materials and the suggested target itself is already bloated with almost entirely primary source inuniverse materials, as merge would seem to be simply shoveling the shit from one corner of the stall to another let it stink there. The subject has been included in a lot of primary source materials for a long time and so is a potential search term and so Redirect is OK, although delete is acceptable as well. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  12:23, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
 * TRPoD, "transwiki" won't work because the logical target, D&DWiki, is...disreptuable. (It is actively shunned by the fanbase because it has a habit of, among other things, not marking stuff people made up one day ("homebrew") as distinct in any fashion from official ("RAW", "rules-as-written") content.) (Also for most of this fictional stuff the fan wikias already have pages that in many cases are far better than what we're trying to offload from here.) - The Bushranger One ping only 15:00, 16 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Merge and Redirect  into World of Eberron. The info is verifiable in authoritative sources (in the additional reading section) and the topic is a reasonable search term. Per WP:PRESERVE, merging of verifiable topics is preferable to deletion and WP:ATD-M seems to apply here, Pages about non-notable fictional elements are generally merged into list articles or articles covering the work of fiction in which they appear. --Mark viking (talk) 06:00, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Hold - I ask that this page be held off from being merged by the closer so that I may do the necessary tasks rather than having to work twice of three times as hard to fix a mergeless redirect that would otherwise be performed. A widescale and large clean up operation is underway as noted by this discussion. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 19:16, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge to World of Eberron, as Mark viking and BOZ suggest. A plausible search term with no other logical uses, and a key part of the setting; redirects are cheap. - The Bushranger One ping only 15:00, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
