Fails WP:GNG. Only real world information is primary interviews with the creator. There do not appear to be any third party sources giving the topic significant real world coverage. TTN (talk) 18:10, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Greyhawk#Significant player characters of the home campaign per WP:ATD and WP:PRESERVE. BOZ (talk) 18:21, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Greyhawk#Significant player characters of the home campaign to save this information.Guinness323 (talk) 01:47, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Greyhawk#Significant player characters of the home campaign as stated above. In addition to the interview, there is a short mention in Des Kobolds Handbuch der Welterschaffung (which I have added to the article, and which is probably a translation of The Kobold Guide to Board Game Design), and there's some mention at Mordenkainen's story at BoLS, the standing of which can be discussed. So there's something to the topic, but in my opinion not enough that I know of for a separate article. Daranios (talk) 11:02, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Greyhawk#Significant player characters of the home campaign - The interviews are already being used to source the entry for the Circle of Eight on the main article, as far as I can tell, so I'm not seeing much in the way of sourced content that still needs to be moved. But, the history will remain intact so if anyone sees anything else they want to move over, they're welcome to. Rorshacma (talk) 21:23, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect. Not sure what there is to merge, as the reception is sourced to a book in German without a page number, so hard to verify. No objection to merging if anyone wants to go through the trouble. Nothing to warrant keeping this as a stand-alone article, very fancrufty. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:40, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Piotrus: If you'd like to verify, please follow the Google Books link already given. The sentence(s) are at the bottom of the section named "Status und Obere". If someone had access to the English original, that would of course be even better. Daranios (talk) 07:09, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Daranios, The link doesn't work for me, all I get is "Keine Leseprobe verfügbar" error which google translates to "No extract available". But I am happy to accept it at good faith that you can verify it and that the relevant content there amounts to a single sentence (which means it fails SIGCOV, so my rationale still stands). Again, no objection to merging that one-useful-sentence worth of content, now that it is AGF verified. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:35, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
