Comment: despite the nominator's arguments, the sources included should be enough to pass . When this article was nominated for AFD the first time it had no sources at all, and the ones it currently has were added after that AFD, so I suspect we will find more sources this time around as well. The plot can stand to be trimmed significantly, but that is no reason to delete

Comment: the nominator's claim that sources 2, 5 and 6 are primary sources is debatable;  the primary source materials mentioned here are sources 7,8 and 9, the published novels in which the article subject is a character.  Sources 2,5 and 6 are sourcebook materials ''based on'' the character defined by the primary material, in that they distill the characterization defined by the novels into usable game mechanics.

Comment: While I don't think the ''Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide'' books are independent (as the character comes from a ''Forgotten Realms'' novel, the sourcebook is simply a continuation of the Intellectual property|IP through a different product), the article does appear to have independent sources. Assuming that Greenwood Publishing Group|this is ''Greenwood Press'', then I'd certainly say that's an independent source (as the website that article links to http://www.abc-clio.com/product.aspx?isbn=9781573561556 does have the book in question).  The other source, ''Dragonlore: From the Archives of the Grey School of Wizardry'', is also independent of the topic.  The article does have multiple reliable, third-party sources that are independent of the subject.  I think the article satisfies , although additional independent sources certainly would help strengthen the article
