[edit] Serra (Magic: The Gathering)

A powerful wizard from the mysical world of Magic: The Gathering. I'm pretty sure she appeared in just one paperback novel (Amazon sales rank: 229,775) and that's the extent of works of fiction she's been in. She's mentioned in the name of a few Magic cards (less than 0.5% of them). A very minor fictional entity. Andrew Levine 01:07, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete per the above. Andrew Levine 03:28, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, fictional wizard also appearing name-checked on various game cards. Kappa 02:52, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Except that most of the players of the game are scarcely aware of her existence or her backstory. Magic is not primarily played for the storyline. Also, as far as I can tell, she appears on not a single card. Andrew Levine 03:28, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
• Merge all major Magic characters into a single article (as per my vote on the AFD for Tahngarth above. -- Grev 05:59, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: Again, if anyone wants to go to the trouble of creating a corral for these critters to bob around in, I don't object, but this is such a small time phenomenon that when you learn the name, you essentially know what there is to know. Geogre 11:49, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete after merging any actual content per Grev. The remaining redirect would not be any use. Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] (W) AfD? 00:17, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
• Merge. As with Grev. Note: the statistic about the # of cards Serra's name has been on is not very useful measure of importance. (I am used to be a player of Magic)
• Keep. I'd be worried about a powerful wizard retalliating if we attack her. Voyager640 17:58, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep extremely notable character in Magic universe.  Grue  19:41, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep pending merging into a unified list of MTG characters. basicly this needs the same treatment as pokemon Klonimus 01:49, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
• Either keep or merge. -Sean Curtin 02:04, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
