While it is listed in the campaign guide (along with several dozen other deities) and has a passing mention in at least one work of fiction, this certainly this is not one of the core characters in the fiction. The existing coverage at List of Forgotten Realms deities#Demideities should suffice. Sven Manguard Wha? 04:00, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of Forgotten Realms deities#Demideities (existing coverage there is sufficient). No significant coverage from reliable, independent secondary sources, topic fails to establish notability and thus doesn't deserve a stand-alone article per WP:GNG.Folken de Fanel (talk) 18:50, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or merge into List of Forgotten Realms deities. BOZ (talk) 14:35, 29 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Where are you getting Keep from? I don't see any non-trivial coverage of this character. Every mention that's cited is a "and here's a list of the gods in this campaign setting and two lines of flavor text to help your DM build a campaign" type mention. That doesn't meet the threshold of notability. Sven Manguard Wha? 19:27, 29 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

no third party coverage to indicate notability. delete or merge if there is an appropriate target. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 04:12, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into List of Forgotten Realms deities unless and until significant coverage comes up for this relatively minor deity. —Torchiest ^talk_edits 04:22, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep no evidence of any prior editorial discussion re: merging, sourcing, etc. is evident on the talk page, making this nomination premature. Jclemens (talk) 06:24, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's hardly a valid argument. There is nothing required that any of that happen before a deletion nomination. The article has sat for seven years without anything of value added to it, and it has also been tagged for problems for years and part of merge discussions a couple times seeing as you haven't even bothered to look at the history of the article.

Redirect to the list. This currently has nothing to establish it as a topic. TTN (talk) 06:40, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
