Werebear

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable Dungeons & Dragons creature. D&D's werebears don't seem to be discussed in non-primary sources, so this article fails WP:GNG. If this article gets deleted, redirecting it to WereBear might be possible, (and in fact, this page originally was a redirect to WereBear, until an IP changed it into an article about the D&D creature), but I'm not sure if that topic is notable, either.

 * Delete - Non notable fictional creature. There are no reliable secondary sources currently being used in the article, and none available upon searching.  The concept of werebears is not even unique to D&D so the current article title would not even be appropriate as a redirect to any of the remaining D&D lists.  I would also not suggest using it as a redirect to WereBear as it was originally created as, because that toyline does not appear to pass the WP:GNG either.

 * Delete per nom. Wikipedia is not the monster manual. WP:GAMEGUIDE -- Sirfurboy (talk) 10:25, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. While the concept has recieved some mentions, there is nothing significant discussing it.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 11:01, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge to List of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd edition monsters. BOZ (talk) 12:49, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge to Lycanthrope (Dungeons & Dragons). BD2412  T 04:15, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge to Lycanthrope (Dungeons & Dragons). Perfectly legitimate merge target and merging should always be preferred over outright deletion. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:18, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment - AFD is not a vote. Rorshacma (talk) 16:55, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails WP:GNG, too trivial in the grand scope of D&D to worry about retention of information. Fan wikis can cover it. TTN (talk) 22:47, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Lacks sufficient RS to pass the GNG. Chetsford (talk) 02:25, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
