  • Delete, fails WP:RS, WP:V. The first Google hit is a YTMND page. Ten Pound Hammer • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps•Review?) 20:40, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete fails WP:A7 at the very least. May be a hoax based on a character in the Diablo game series. --Bfigura (talk) 20:43, 29 August 2007 (UTC) Redirect per Chunky Rice. --Bfigura (talk) 01:45, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete looks like fancruft built on the Diablo games, this site explains how he fits in there. Content is unencyclopedic and would require complete re-write to get it otherwise. Delete w/o prejudice for re-creation, in case someone is able to build a decent article about the character and his role in the game. Hersfold (t/a/c) 21:20, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - It appears as a Diablo-based hoax and has ne references, to say the least. TheInfinityZero 21:42, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect Looks hoaxy, but could be a legitmate redirect to List_of_minor_characters_in_Diablo#Deckard_Cain. -Chunky Rice 23:18, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect per Chunky Rice as he is an important character in Diablo and Diablo II. The biographical information is a hoax so it should be deleted. A re-write might not be a good idea as he is not that notable in real life like say Cloud Strife. --Lenticel (talk) 01:34, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment Looks like there is a such character. Perhaps it should be a redirect. I still think the current content is a hoax though--Pheonix15 18:41, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
Oh, I think we all agree on that. -Chunky Rice 18:44, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect per Chunky Rice. -- MacAddct1984 17:04, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect as per above. -- Roleplayer 00:02, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
