 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to List of Forgotten Realms organizations. Consensus not to have an article. The list is perhaps no less problematic, but one thing at a time.  Sandstein  10:24, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

The Iron Throne (Forgotten Realms)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Prodded by me, redirected by User:Mark viking (which I support), and restored with no meaningful rationale I saw by User:Bkonrad. Since I still don't see how this passes Notability (fiction), here we are. I really wish we could just have interwiki redirects for stuff like http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Iron_Throne, sigh.

 * I don't actually care much whether the article stays or if it is a redirect, though I think Piotrus may have mischaracterized my edit (or I'm not understanding what he said). I changed the target of the redirect to be an article that actually mentions the term. It makes no sense whatsoever to have a redirect go to an article that has no content on the redirected term. older ≠ wiser 11:23, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
 * My apologies, User:Bkonrad, I indeed made a mistake. Your edit was fine, the article was restored by an anon . --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:24, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Articles for deletion/Log/2016 April 25.  —cyberbot I   Talk to my owner :Online 11:27, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge to Baldur's Gate. BOZ (talk) 11:43, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
 *  Weak Delete or merge while I am a D&D fan, this is not notable enough for it's own article. A mention in a larger article may be the right thing here. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 17:05, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete (or redirect to an article where it's mentioned); fails WP:GNG. soetermans . ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 07:53, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. "The Iron Throne" is invoked once at Baldur's Gate with no context—the redirect would have no use. czar  08:25, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Baldur's Gate. All the coverage in reliable secondary sources gives this brief mentions in the context of that video game, and that article has the most detail on the topic. —Torchiest talkedits 15:58, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to List of Forgotten Realms organizations, which should be created to hold it (and others of the same category). Baldur's Gate is too narrow for this.  The Iron Throne from Forgotten Realms is not independently notable and has a conflict with the more recent Game of Thrones construct.Vulcan&#39;s Forge (talk) 02:00, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm inclined to agree that there should be a list page like that. I will try to find the time to start one. BOZ (talk) 17:31, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Yeah I'd support such a page. —Torchiest talkedits 21:33, 30 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Redirect as best connected to that and still questionable for a better separate article. SwisterTwister   talk  00:02, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
