Create disambiguation page. Rutterkin as defined here is included at Demon (Dungeons & Dragons), but it is also a plausible search term for Witches of Belvoir. A lack of evidence of real-world significance precludes a separate article for the D&D demon, in my view. Josh Milburn (talk) 21:12, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or merge to Demon (Dungeons & Dragons). BOZ (talk) 23:21, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Demon (Dungeons & Dragons) and then change this page to a disambiguation page per J Milburn. —Torchiest ^talk_edits 16:18, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Demon (Dungeons & Dragons), create a DAB page for the term. Rutterkins appear in many D&D publications and there is enough material there to verify basic facts like publication history and a basic description. They already are covered pretty well at Demon (Dungeons & Dragons), so there may not be much extra to merge. A DAB is warranted as this is a plausible search term for D&D and Witches of Belvoir. There was also a Rutterkin beer. --Mark viking (talk) 04:20, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Demon (Dungeons & Dragons). It doesn't look like we have enough independent coverage for a spinoff article. Rutterkin show up in Google Books searches, but it seems to be witchcraft-related, not this D&D version. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:31, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
