This character does not establish notability independent of Forgotten Realms 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.

Merge into List of Forgotten Realms deities or delete. Not independently notable. Primary sources, such as sourcebooks, are not useful in establishing notability. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 02:49, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
transwiki to some fan site that would love this kind of trivia. As for Wikipedia, the subject fails WP:GNG in that there is no third party coverage of the subject, merely in game/in universe materials by the owners of the IP, and therefore the options are: merge, redirect, or delete. Given that the suggested merge target already suffers from extreme bloat of primary sourced content with only one statement that seems to have a potentially independent source, merging would seem to be an act of shoveling the shit from one corner of the stall to another. Given the disambiguator, the name appears unlikely to be a valid search term as a redirect (and since we have been down that path before if it is determined that a redirect is appropriate, it should be locked.) So my analysis is: delete (with a dash of WP:SALT). -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 12:30, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Procedural close as redirect/merge to List of Forgotten Realms deities. This article was one of a series of related articles initially merged to the above target by User:Neelix subsequent to discussion in October 2010; the merge was reverted by an IP-only editor just over a year later. This suggests tacit agreement that the redirect and merge was acceptable to the majority of editors associated with the wikiproject. In my opinion, a return to the status quo would serve the encyclopedia better than a prolonged and potentially heated debate over each individual deity article. (Note: there are other similar article currently nominated for deletion; I will copy this !vote/recommendation to those affected as well.)Vulcan's Forge (talk) 00:20, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge (after trimming) into List of Forgotten Realms deities or Delete, per TRPoD, NinjaRobotPirate, Vulcan's Forge. No significant coverage from independent secondary sources, fails WP:GNG.Folken de Fanel (talk) 20:32, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
