Comment: to Forgotten Realms#Characters for now - If someone wanted to create an entry in that section actually using reliable, secondary sources that would be fine, but there really is not much currently in the article that could be merged.

Comment: or '''merge''': I think the secondary sources provided so far are enough to give a paragraph of reception/character analysis. The publication history/appearances in other media are another section of non-plot-summary information. So the |minimum requirements of WP:GNG and  can be fulfilled. Given that there is a worthwhile but not a huge amount of treatment in secondary sources, I also have not problem with a proper merge
