This character does not establish notability independent of Greyhawk 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 TTN (talk) 17:42, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep or merge into List of Greyhawk deities. BOZ (talk) 17:46, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• transwiki to some fansite that would love this kind of trivia. As for Wikipedia, the subject fails WP:GNG in having no significant coverage about the subject in independent reliable sources, which leaves the options of merge redirect or delete. The proposed merge target is already bloated with similar trivia also supported only by primary sources and so a merge would seem to be doing nothing more than shoveling shit from one corner of the stall to another. As for redirect we have been down that path before and so it would need to be locked. In addition, i have not seen any evidence that the word is a likely search term to need a redirect, so delete seems the best option. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 12:19, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge and Redirect into List of Greyhawk deities. The info is verifiable in authoritative sources and the topic is a reasonable search term. Per WP:PRESERVE, merging of verifiable topics is preferable to deletion and WP:ATD-M states Pages about non-notable fictional elements are generally merged into list articles or articles covering the work of fiction in which they appear. Difficulty in maintaining a redirect is an editor problem and not a valid reason for deletion, per WP:SUSCEPTIBLE. --Mark viking (talk) 17:10, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge, largely per Mark Viking. A brief summary of this article's contents would be appropriate on the List of Greyhawk deities, although it is dubious whether the broader topic is notable either seeing as none of the "authoritative" sources qualify as independent. --Simone 17:30, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
