Trishina

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This character does not establish notability independent of Dungeons & Dragons 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 in having no coverage by independent reliable sources and so the options are merge, redirect or delete. Since the suggested merge target is also failing in WP:GNG and suffering from bloat of primary source trivia, merge would seem to be merely an exercise is shoveling the shit from one corner of the stall to let it stink in another. There is no evidence that Trishina is a likely search term (a fake god of dolphins?) - searches landing here are probably just as likely to be misspellings of something else) and so determining the appropriate redirect target would be problematic. In any case, given the history of nonthird party sourced recreations in the D&D space, a redirect would need to be locked down. Delete seems appropriate. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  12:18, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Merge and Redirect  into List of Dungeons & Dragons deities. The existence of the deity is verifiable in a single authoritative source 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. Given just the single source, merging just a single line of description of Trishina into the list in the article List of Dungeons & Dragons deities seems best. --Mark viking (talk) 18:55, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
 * 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 List of Dungeons & Dragons deities. Worthy of mention as part of the group, but zilch for any sign of real-world notability and no third-party sources. - The Bushranger One ping only 14:57, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
