- Delete - The history of this article is a bit confusing, but it would appear that this was already deleted once at AFD, recreated as a redirect to Plant creatures (Dungeons & Dragons), and then, like so many other previously deleted/redirected D&D articles, restored to a full article against consensus by a anonymous IP editor. Regardless of this, though, it does not pass the WP:GNG. The only sources are primary or trivial, and the article it was split out from is, itself, undergoing an AFD.

- Delete per the previous AfD, as the article's sourcing has not improved at all after the previous discussion, and then salt to prevent further recreation attempts. Not a very active user (talk) 05:46, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep or merge as above. Perfectly legitimate merge target and merging should always be preferred over deletion. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:51, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I don't quite know how you would merge this into a list, and it fails our notability guidelines. SportingFlyer T·C 11:42, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
