The result was no consensus. There is legitimate disagreement here on whether sources published by Paizo are sufficiently independent. Since there is no consensus for either side of the debate, the closure here is accordingly.
I will make a note about the nominator's statement further down in the debate: "Big Mac's comment is not based on any existing WP policy and is thus to be excluded from the final conclusion of this AfD":
As a rule, I don't discard or exclude any good faith contribution to an AFD, even if it is misguided. Rather, I assume that everyone supporting a certain outcome will endorse not only their own, but also the arguments that others have presented that support their position. As such, I look for the best arguments that have been presented on either side, and then assess what level of support they have. Sometimes one side has made no good arguments whatsoever, but this is not one of those cases. Sjakkalle (Check!) 13:33, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
This article about a creature from the Dungeons and Dragons game doesn't meet the General Notability Guideline in that the subject has not received significant coverage (ie. more than trivial mentions) in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Indeed, the article uses exclusively primary sources directly affiliated with the subject: publications and core rulebooks from TSR and Wizards of the Coast, the official D&D publishers; or Pathfinder, a D&D "spin-off" game created by Paizo Publishing (publisher of two official D&D magazines) and using modified D&D rules under licence from Wizards of the Coast.
Obviously this D&D creature has no notability (as Wikipedia defines it) and the article should be deleted.
For those trying to find sources, I can only stress the importance of independence (which "excludes works produced by those affiliated with" D&D or its creator, for example, guidebooks from Bastion Press provinding supplementary material to the D&D rulebooks, under WotC's d20 licencing, are not independent) and significant content (WP:GNG provides an example: "The one sentence mention [...] of the band Three Blind Mice ("In high school, he was part of a jazz band called Three Blind Mice.") is plainly trivial.").

A similar title already exists at List of largest California cities by area, which redirects to List of cities and towns in California. This simply ranks eight cities in a different way. Anyone searching for such a list would likely search by "area" rather than "acreage" and this article only provides redundant information rather than fulfilling a specific need under WP: List.

No credible assertions of notability. A blogger (is anybody not a blogger these days?), and a radio presenter (not specified for whom). Claims that Rugg "worked for" various major publications, but this claim is not supported by citation, nor is the nature of the work made clear (was she the managing editor, or the mailroom worker?). Other claims to fame are similarly vague. The "presenter" gig on "Tafe Radio" appears significant until one discovers that Tafe Radio is the student-run radio station at Petersham College where students broadcast as part of their curriculum.
