The result was redirect to Yggdrasil. To allow merging of a mention there, if desired. One "keep" opinion is a pure vote, leaving us with only one "keep" that is an actual argument.  Sandstein  06:49, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep or merge to Plane (Dungeons & Dragons). BOZ (talk) 20:09, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep since Yggdrasil is unquestionably notable, and this is just one set of in popular culture references to the notable mythical tree. Jclemens (talk) 04:25, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Primary sources only, no indication of passing WP:GNG, since the only mentions are gaming books. If it is a plane, which the article doesn't make clear, I guess a merge per BOZ could be an option, too.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 03:55, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete- excessively detailed fancruft sourced only to the work of fiction itself. No indication of real-world importance or notability. The main article on the actual real myth of Yggdrasil has a "Modern influences" section but it is very very doubtful whether this minor fictional location is important enough to be mentioned there and, even if it was, none of this content is suitable for merging there (or anywhere else) because of its terrible content and poor sourcing. As always, the idea that a real-world mythological thing automatically confers notability on any other fictional thing named after it is complete nonsense. Reyk  YO!  09:13, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep due to notability to people in the real world. Afdcruft.  --24.112.231.178 (talk) 19:10, 24 June 2017 (UTC)  Blocked sock.  Reyk  YO!  14:30, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge, either to Plane (Dungeons & Dragons), or potentially to the main Yggdrasil article itself. There's already a modern influence section; this could be added there. —Torchiest talkedits 21:44, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete or, if a suitable target can be identified, merge (though likely very much trimmed). I'm not really sure I understand the thrust of any of those supporting keeping the article; if we have third party sources, then that's one thing, but if we don't, what do we really have to talk about? Josh Milburn (talk) 21:51, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete, but I would also not objective to a selective merge. The only keep argument is extremely weak and this does not appear to pass the guidelines for notability. Aoba47 (talk) 14:23, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
