The article cites no non-primary sources. There is no indication that D&D warlords have any significance outside the game. Not a very active user (talk) 10:28, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Redirect to Character class (Dungeons & Dragons). As one of the lesser used classes in the franchise, there is not much outside of primary sources discussing it, in either its "Marshall" or "Warlord" name. It should be important to note that while there are, at first glance, a number of sources when searching for "Warlord" in relation to D&D, these are not talking about the character class named "Warlord", but using the generic title of warlord to describe a character. The few sources actually referring to the character class are nothing more than trivial mentions. I'm fine with either straight deletion or a redirect to the main article on Character classes in general, but this should not be retained as an independent article, and there is no information from secondary sources to be merged.

Redirect per Rorshacma, but specifically to Character class (Dungeons & Dragons)#Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition. That section is the only place on the page where "warlord" is mentioned. —⁠烏⁠Γ ^(kaw) │ 04:27, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect sounds right, per KarasuGamma. I base that both on my knowledge of the game and the current state of the redirect target. Hobit (talk) 19:42, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I've only played 3.5e and 5e, and I've never heard of this as a class. I'm happy my suggestion made sense. —⁠烏⁠Γ ^(kaw) │ 07:54, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Character class (Dungeons & Dragons)#Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition. Per above comments, this article fails GNG as there are no secondary sources that provide anything more than a trivial mention of it. The article has no content worth merging.
