This does not establish notability independent of Eberron through the inclusion of real world information from reliable, third party sources. Most of the information is made up of plot details better suited to Wikia. There is no current assertion for future improvement of the article, so extended coverage is unnecessary.

  • Keep or merge to World of Eberron. BOZ (talk) 23:54, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • transwiki to some fansite that would love this kind of trivia and original research. As for Wikipedia, the subject has no independent sourcing and so fails WP:GNG leaving the options of delete redirect or merge. Since the suggested target article is already full to the brim with in universe primary source trivia, merging would seem to be merely taking editors time and effort to move all of the inappropriate content from one place to another but with no net improvement and merely creating a greater mess on the receiving side. There is no evidence that it is a likely search term to keep a redirect, and given the history of restoration of subjects with no WP:GNG sourcing, any redirect would need to be locked down. Delete seems an appropriate option. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 12:01, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - This page can be improved and can be made into a list that does not need the same requirements as N/GNG under the policy. A supporting list that better deals with the in-universe terms is acceptable under that policy and the size of Eberron would be unreadable as merged. Deletion is not clean up; and while much of the deletes are copy-and-pasted by TheRedPenOfDoom, this one is best reworked. Too much would be lost otherwise; especially with total deletion and not even blank and redirect. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 19:57, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    Lists are also subjected to a specific notability guideline and don't get a free pass for being plot dumps; since the above comment doesn't provide independent sources discussing the items in the list as a group, it is not based on policy, and should be discounted.Folken de Fanel (talk) 12:02, 12 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
