Weretiger

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article currently discusses a Dungeons & Dragons creature with no significant coverage in non-primary sources. However, "weretiger" is also an Asian mythological creature, which is discussed at the werecat article. Were-Tiger currently redirects to there, so if this article gets deleted, it should be also redirected there. Not a very active user (talk) 17:13, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep or merge to List of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd edition monsters. BOZ (talk) 17:54, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Why this should be merged to List of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd edition monsters instead of Werecat, where weretigers are actually discussed? Not a very active user (talk) 17:58, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete & Redirect to werecat, per nom. The D&D version is not notable, with no reliable, secondary sources discussing it in any meaningful manner.  The actual mythological version is notable, and has an appropriate article to redirect this to.  Looking at the article history, it would appear that this was actually initially created as a redirect to the notable mythological topic, before being hijacked and re-purposed by anonymous IP editors to be about this non-notable fictional variant, and constantly edit-warred by more IP editors whenever someone attempted to restore it to its actual useful purpose.  So, this non-notable D&D cruft should be deleted, to prevent any more IP reverts, and then the redirect to werecat should be recreated.  Rorshacma (talk) 18:35, 20 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) 11:19, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment - AFD is not a vote. Rorshacma (talk) 16:55, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete and Redirect to Werecat. Article is sourced entirely to primary sources, and should be deleted before redirecting to prevent possible recreation as has happened in this article and others. Devonian Wombat (talk) 05:51, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
