Fictional race from D&D. Significant within some campaign settings, but no evidence of real-world notability. A couple of hits on Google Scholar, but one isn't a third-party source, the is a passing mention. Josh Milburn (talk) 18:12, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or merge to List of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd edition monsters. BOZ (talk) 21:17, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I don't see why the merge target should be here either. It will end up at AfD sooner or later. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:40, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to List of avian humanoids#Fiction while it is not notable enough for an article, it does have at least enough mentions in RS to confirm their existence._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 11:23, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or merge as above. As usual, deletion of information which can be merged elsewhere benefits nobody. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:04, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. While I suppose I wouldn't be completely opposed to Zxcvbnm's suggestion of giving it a mention on the List of avian humanoids#Fiction, I really don't feel that the one passing comment in the source brought up by the nom is enough coverage that this is necessary. Searching for references beyond that turn up the usual collection of primary sources and mentions without any actual coverage. Rorshacma (talk) 17:01, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: If there's to be a merge or redirect, I support it being to the D&D list, and not to the article on avian humanoids - though maybe a mention there is appropriate anyway. Josh Milburn (talk) 17:23, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
