- Keep or merge to Magic item (Dungeons & Dragons). BOZ ( talk) 01:56, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
- Merge into List of Greyhawk characters#Lum the Mad. I created the original redirect, but not the actual content of the article. I took a look at "find sources" above, but I still don't see enough secondary sources to truly establish notability. While I feel it is important, I can't really back that up via the standard Wikipedia process. My impression is that this article belongs on a different kind of wiki, perhaps one that uses an "in universe" perspective. That said, I think converting this article back to a redirect would be better than utter deletion. BOZ has offered his suggestion and I have offered mine. Either redirect would be acceptable as far as I am concerned. GentlemanGhost (converse) 02:13, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

- Merge to List of Greyhawk characters#Lum the Mad per the above, then put a link to the merged content into List of major artifacts in Dungeons & Dragons and Magic item (Dungeons & Dragons)#Artifacts. Jclemens ( talk) 21:04, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
- Merge as above. Jclemens's idea sounds good. Josh Milburn ( talk) 04:38, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
