The result was merge to Elemental (Dungeons & Dragons). Possible meanings in chemistry may be handled by a disambiguation page or hatnote, or alternative redirects such as proposed by Mark viking. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 05:50, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or merge to Index of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1st edition monsters. BOZ (talk) 01:58, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Elemental (Dungeons & Dragons), which has a section on this topic. If, in the future, it is expanded with additional material and citations, it can be broken back out into a freestanding article. bd2412 T 02:17, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Elemental (Dungeons & Dragons) for the reasons already stated by BD2412. Aoba47 (talk) 23:53, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: A merge seems appropriate, but I wonder whether this page should instead redirect to something chemistry related; there are a number of hits on Google Scholar. I know nothing about the subject; I'll leave a quick note on the WikiProject Chemistry talk page. Josh Milburn (talk) 04:36, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge I haven't found quite enough sourcing for independent notability, but the basic facts are verifiable and there is an appropriate merge target, so per WP:ATD a merge is preferable to deletion. The merge will require a redirect to preserve attribution. Regarding JM's point, there is a substance called quasi-elemental carbon in the literature that is mostly elemental carbon with a little organic content (I think). No prejudice to creating such a quasi elemental carbon or quasi elemental (chemistry) article or redirect in the future. --Mark viking (talk) 15:27, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
