Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Allanon
to The Sword of Shannara#Characters. While I deprodded the article as a controversial deletion, I also am unable to find in-depth independent treatments of this character. There are comparisons to Gandalf and Merlin out there, but nothing that would allow this article to pass  thresholds. Nonetheless this is a major character in ''The Sword of Shannara'' and other novels in the series and basic facts about the character are verifiable in authoritative primary and sparse secondary sources. Per , preservation of this verifiable information through merging (a selective merge in this case) is preferable to deletion. As the first novel in which the character appears, The Sword of Shannara is a natural merge target. As Allanon is a plausible search term, a redirect is warranted as well
