Weakest possible keep Articles on fictions, even details of fictions, are appropriate; consider March Hare, which is much better written. But this complex concept is worth explaining as part of our coverage of Xanth; a merge might be appropriate, but it's too long to fit well into, say, Magicians of Xanth and shortening it would make it even more obscure than it is. As with any fiction, the sources are the fiction itself: Cube Route and Swell Foop by Piers Anthony. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 01:25, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the books are notable but this particular feature is likely too minor for reliable sources to exist to build an article around. A redirect to Geography of Xanth might be okay though. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:27, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Summarize this in 1-2 paragraphs at Geography of Xanth#Moons of Ida. No independent, reliable sources address the topic sufficiently to justify a standalone article. When a google search (minus the "()") finds a video game forum as the first hit, that's never a good sign. Tarc (talk) 17:15, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
