Tanarukk

Non notable Dungeons & Dragons monster. Setting specific, but is of only minor significance within the setting as a whole. May deserve a mention when discussing orcs or Tenar'ri (especially when discussing them in the context of the Forgotton Realms). No evidence of third party coverage.

Delete — non-notable. Already adequately covered at Planetouched. March is D&D Spring Cleaning Month; you can help. Cheers, Jack Merridew 06:36, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No secondary sources, no assertion of notability. Fails WP:RPG/N and WP:N. Percy Snoodle (talk) 10:36, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is just one of thousands of non-notable stock characters with no reliable secondary sources to demonstrate notability outside D&D canon. --Gavin Collins (talk) 16:02, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, it's a fictional species, not a stock character. Powers ^T 03:58, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's a copy and pasted reason for deletion, so forgive Gavin if it doesn't make sense for the particular topic it's being used for, as it's been used on quite a few AFDs lately.Shemeska (talk) 20:26, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment In the fantasy world of D&D it may be classed as a fictional species, but in the real world, its actually a stock character. Which stock character are you? --Gavin Collins (talk) 09:52, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The stats for a level one warrior Tanarukk are the stats for a stock character, the Tanarukk race itself is no more a stock character than the Klingon race. J Milburn (talk) 10:13, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Uh, no, in the fantasy world of D&D it's a real species. In the real world it's a fictional species. Powers ^T 16:52, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, so it's a fictional real species, not a real fictional species. Glad we have that sorted. Cheers, Jack Merridew 16:59, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
A real fictional species would be the Pacific Northwest tree octopus. J Milburn (talk) 18:28, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's not even remotely what I said. Powers ^T 21:00, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - just because it's in Monstrous Compendium doesn't make it notable for Wikipedia. --John Nagle (talk) 19:56, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
