Deletion of List of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd edition monsters (2nd nomination)

Comment: fails . Through I wonder if a list of D&D monsters from all editions would pass notability? Probably not, like a list of all elves or placenames in Tolkien works, etc. Not ''everything'' is notable

Comment: This is not just a list of monsters from Dungeons & Dragons, but specifically from a single edition of the game. This might be tenable if there were substantial sources discussing how 2nd Edition AD&D monsters differed from other D&D monsters in terms of design philosophy, quality, etc. but I'm not aware of any such discussion. The only time they are |discussed as a set is in the context of actually playing the game as a |directory or |game guide

Comment: The whole purpose of list articles like this was to reduce the presence of the individual articles about creatures from D&D which on their own were inherently unsupportable.   does not apply here;  this is not a guide to the game, or a set of instructions.  (I'll add that had I known about the AFD for the 1st edition list I would've voted keep on that as well, for the same reasons.)  The IP above also raises a valid point regarding the usefulness and importance of this as a research tool for out-of-print materials
