Time of Troubles (Forgotten Realms)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This fictional element is not covered anywhere in reliable secondary sources, which means that it cannot meet the WP:GNG. Current article is largely unsourced or primary sourced. A search brings up some passing mentions, but no out-of-universe context to create something that is WP:NOTPLOT. And those passing mentions in the plot already occur in other articles.

 * Keep if more sources can be found, otherwise merge to Forgotten Realms. BOZ (talk) 19:49, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Forgotten Realms where it is already covered. I'm not finding much in non-primary sources that goes beyond plot summaries.  If sources can be found, the article could potentially be restructured to be more on the real world products that made up the event, rather than the fictional events themselves, the same way the article on The Sundering was.  But unless sources allowing that can be found, Redirecting to the appropriate section of the main Forgotten Realms article is about the best that can be done.

 * Restructuring the article the way you suggest would be a good way forward if we can find the sources, so I support that. BOZ (talk) 23:32, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect as sources cannot be found to meet the WP:GNG. Redirects are cheap and this seems like an acceptable WP:ATD. Shooterwalker (talk) 02:22, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Forgotten Realms per Rorshacma.  // Timothy ::  talk  19:47, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Forgotten Realms per Rorshacma and TimothyBlue. A major plot point for the setting and still relevant and useful as a search term. Haleth (talk) 02:23, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete: No evidence this fictional event passes WP:NFICTION/GNG. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 09:28, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Per Piotrus, fails GNG and nothing to merge.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 16:56, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
