I don't believe this is a notable enough fictional character for its own article. The sources provided are not independent of the D&D source and look to be primarily in-universe material. The Heard and Sernett references to Dragon_(magazine) are to official magazines for the source material. The Cook (both), Connors, etc. references are all to material published by TSR (company), the game's publisher. Living Greyhawk Gazetteer is similar.

Keep or merge to List of Greyhawk characters. BOZ (talk) 04:12, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or merge to List of Greyhawk characters. Also, not all of the sources are published by TSR (which is no longer the publisher of D&D, btw), and one, Vecna: Hand of the Revenent is published by Iron Hammer graphics, which is fully independent of TSR and Wizards of the Coast (the current publisher of the game).--Robbstrd (talk) 20:44, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

merge no significant coverage about the subject by third party sources, merely game guides. And Of course ALL of the sources published by TSR the creator and promoter of the subject are primary sources and constitute ZERO validity in establishing notability. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 15:18, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
