Outlands

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

An impressive and informative article on a fictional place that nonetheless does not satisfy our notability requirements. It cites no reliable sources independent of the game's publishers, nor do I think it likely that any could be found. This article would make a great addition to a wiki dedicated to the D&D universe, but I don't see how it fits our own inclusion criteria. Psychonaut (talk) 08:17, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It is part of a very notable game, and is a fairly major part to understanding D&D. It could be added to a list, like List of Realms in Dungeons and Dragons . ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 12:34, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Note that notability is not inherited. Can you offer any independent sources that specifically cover this fictional place? (Also, there is no way that this article is of such importance that the comprehensibility of our core articles on D&D would be impaired by its absence. IIRC the Outlands are discussed only in optional rulebook supplements and the like.) —Psychonaut (talk) 14:16, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or merge to Planescape. It was one of the locations in the video game Planescape: Torment, so it is possible that some of the sources in either of those articles may discuss this topic as well. BOZ (talk) 15:23, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Planescape; it is possible that a brief summary might be merged there if there are suitable references. Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:26, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Planescape or Sigil (Dungeons & Dragons), or delete. This only has two sources both published by the same company as a commercial product. Outer Plane is another redirect option, but that article is also seriously lacking in reliable independent sources. Ditto Plane (Dungeons & Dragons), and probably several others. Per Psychonaut, if this hasn't already been exported to a D&D specific Wiki, it really should be. Grayfell (talk) 19:34, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Planescape. I've found a brief mention in Computer Gaming World in a review for Planescape: Torment so far. —Torchiest ^talk_edits 16:11, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
