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 overly in-depth 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 gamer site that would love this cruft. as there are no independent third party sources provided, let alone any that cover the subject in a significant manner, per WP:GNG this article will need to be deleted or merged if there is any appropriate content to properly enhance an appropriate target article. since there are only primary sources and game cruft, it is unlikely that there is much that would actually be able to properly enhance any target article. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  13:44, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Arguments above regarding independence of sourcing set the bar too high. Fact is, multiple separate companies have published material detailing this fictional element in multiple separate (although admittedly related) game systems. Jclemens (talk) 01:14, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
 * While the companies may be "separate" if you ignore the fact that one bought out the other, and the third produces its content under an official licensee agreement, the fact is that you have yet to actually point to the policy that says "D&D articles dont need to meet independent sourcing requirements that all other articles need to." --  TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  01:40, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Redirect to List of Dungeons & Dragons deities. Not independently notable.  None of the sources are independent. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 08:07, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Procedural close as redirect/merge to Drow deities. This article was one of a series of related articles initially merged by User:Drilnoth in November 2008;  the merge was reverted by an IP-only editor two and a half years later.  This suggests tacit agreement that the redirect and merge was acceptable to the majority of editors associated with the wikiproject.  In my opinion, a return to the status quo would serve the encyclopedia better than a prolonged and potentially heated debate over each individual deity article. (Note: there are other similar article currently nominated for deletion; I will copy this !vote/recommendation to those affected as well.)Vulcan&#39;s Forge (talk) 00:43, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete/Merge – Per NinjaRobotPirate and Vulcan's Forge. No independent coverage has been found yet, and the subject doesn't appear likely to generate future independent coverage. Egsan Bacon (talk) 16:18, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge (after trimming) into List of Dungeons & Dragons deities or Delete, per TRPoD, NinjaRobotPirate, Vulcan's Forge and Egsan Bacon.Folken de Fanel (talk) 16:40, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge There is never any reason to delete articles like this --the information should be merged, keeping the verifiable information, for which outside sources are not necessary. . I have previously expressed my opinion of these repeating nominations for deletions when there are clearly other and better ways of  handling the material..   &#39;DGG (at NYPL)&#39; (talk) 17:16, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
