• Delete. The article admits that this creature is a fan creation rather than a creature from any published or official source. Sean Curtin 01:40, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - Per nom, and per lack of sourcing. I'll alert the people at WP:D&D, too, to get their opinion. Cool Blue^{talk to me} 01:48, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
• I suggest we consider Keeping it. Ratmen have found their way back into official D&D canon: See here. It urgently needs clarification and better referencing because (I suspect) we are talking about something notable here (inasmuch as D&D monsters are ever notable), but the text of the article can be interpreted to mean that it is a fan creation.

• Unless we start allowing D&D stats in articles like Zoophilia, List of Pokémon, and List of Neopets, Delete. I don't want there to be a Dungeons & Dragons monsters test on the level that Pokémon has had. -Jeske ^{(v^_^v)} 03:24, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete- per nom and above. Wikidudeman ^(talk) 04:35, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete - Lacks any notability whatsoever, and not even cited. Makes a pretty big claim, I'm pretty sure the concept of "Rat People" has been around a bit longer than D&D, lets say, oh, a good few thousand years of Chinese Mythology.Piuro 05:51, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Fan-fiction, and not in any official products. Unverifiable. Sjakkalle (Check!) 06:39, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per the article: "Ratman is not an official D&D creature". Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:16, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per above. Ganfon 16:34, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per all. Bucketsofg 23:04, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per above. Andre (talk) 02:19, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
