Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd edition monsters
I don't think anyone has argued for the deletion of the material on the grounds of article ''quality'' or of cleanup issues -- just that this isn't appropriate for Wikipedia.  This is a compilation of summarized material from |primary sources.  (Hence, I believe, the reference to --it's not ''literally'' a plot summary, but it's very much the same kind of thing.)  I'm very familiar with D&D; I know how much monster-related information is out there; I'd even started compiling a database of similar information myself.  I realize how much work must have gone into this, and how much information it represents.  Unfortunately, |none of that is a valid argument for keeping the article.  I ''like'' these articles--I even saved copies of them for my own reference in case they're deleted.  But unfortunately, I don't see any justification for keeping them under Wikipedia guidelines
