Keep or merge into List of Forgotten Realms deities. BOZ (talk) 22:41, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as above, unless some third-party sources can be identified. Josh Milburn (talk) 22:15, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. Bane is one of the major Forgotten Realms gods and an antagonist in multiple forms of media, including tabletop adventures, video games, and novels. Despite this, I'm having some trouble finding significant coverage. There were a few promising sources on Google Books, but I either couldn't access them or they turn out to be trivial mentions. For example, he's mentioned in this book, but it's tough to tell if it's a trivial mention; it looks like it probably is. I was all set to vote to keep, but there doesn't seem to be enough stuff digitally archived for me to back up my vote. If someone finds offline sources that are independent of TSR/Wizards/Mattel, we can see about recreating the page. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:29, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to List of Forgotten Realms deities per above. Like, NinjaRobotPirate, I'm actually moderately surprised there is so little out there on him, as, unlike the myriad of other Forgotten Realms gods, he is actually a major villain in the D&D universe. But, since there does not seem to be many substantial non-primary sources out there, I'm going to have to go with Merge. 64.183.45.226 (talk) 19:29, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
