In a similar manner to the deleted Lamia (Dungeons & Dragons), this article fails WP:GNG and lacks notability, despite the notability of the original creature in question. _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 03:36, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (SOFTDELETE) by redirecting to main article about Orcs. Orcs are orcs, and DnD orcs don't need a separate article, which is really plot summary and fancruft variations between editions/settings. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:59, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Totally agree with the other person. There's nothing special about DnD Orcs that warrants their own article. --Adamant1 (talk) 07:14, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Orc. There is a section in that article about their role in gaming, which can be expanded. BD2412 T 04:26, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The article fails to establish notability. I'm not really sure what content would be worth merging. The article already has a sentence about D&D, so adding any more would be unneeded and give D&D too much weight despite not having notable Orcs. TTN (talk) 12:05, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
