Imoen

Aricle about a fictional character from the Forgotten Realms campaign setting, which is which part of the Dungeons & Dragons franchise promoted by TSR, Inc. The article fails WP:NOT#PLOT and has no reliable source to demonstrate the notability of the fictional characters outside the D&D franchise from which it is derieved. The article's content is a synthesis of primary source material, written from an in universe perspective. Gavin Collins (talk) 00:41, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per BOZ. Atyndall93 | talk 10:17, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Trim and Merge - How about merge to Baldur's_Gate_NPCs#Imoen instead? The character has a listing there already. Web Warlock (talk) 11:33, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I provided sufficient references and accurate sources. Therefore it needs to be kept. Beside if we merge it, we will remove more than half of the content already on the article. The article itself is detailed enough more so than just a list of characters. Hence keep! Dumoren (talk) 12:41, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge useful content and redirect to List of Baldur's Gate characters#Imoen. There's not enough encyclopedic content here to justify a full article - all information required can be given in two or three paragraphs. Una Laguna^Talk 16:22, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of Baldur's Gate characters; the Imoen entry on that page is more than sufficient, based on what I saw playing the game series through to completion.—RJH (talk) 18:05, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect as above. Eusebeus (talk) 16:18, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect as per RJH etc. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 21:17, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per above. Pretty clear-cut. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 13:51, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per First pillar, consistent with a specialized encyclopedia on Dungeons & Dragons for which there are many published books. Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 14:27, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, there's tons of D&D/FR books, but Imoen isn't a canon FR character (if we define "canon" as first-party material by TSR/WotC) and only appears in two licensed computer games (and their expansion packs). --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 15:19, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of Baldur's Gate characters as above. No real notability outside of FR/BG universes. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 03:13, 26 April 2008 (UTC).[reply]
