There is sourced info there that should be Merged into Basilisk. MarnetteD|Talk 04:39, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I considered a "Merge" to the main article on the mythological creature, but ultimately decided that it would not be appropriate. The information here runs afoul of being a game guide, and the majority of the sources here are not reliable, secondary sources, in some cases being literal game guides. I took a look at the two sources present that don't run afoul of this. In the first (the book by Gilsdorf), the coverage is limited to direct quotes pulled straight from the D&D monster manual, which does not do much to establish any sort of notability, either for a keep or a merge. The second (on the Harry Potter game) is actually not bad, but is not enough on its own to establish notability for a "Fantasy Role Play" variant of the creature. It wouldn't be a bad source to add to Magical_creatures_in_Harry_Potter#Basilisk, though.Rorshacma (talk) 14:55, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
