Non-notable creature that fails WP:GNG and WP:GAMEGUIDE. Lacks notability in secondary sources and entirely sourced to WP:PRIMARY sources. It could be all ogre for this article now. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 12:36, 7 March 2020 (UTC)

- Delete - "Ogre" is an extremely common word that has been used as a type of monster in a wide array of fiction for centuries. There is absolutely nothing to indicate why their usage in Dungeons and Dragons is at all independently notable. The only non-gamebook being used currently is the "For Dummies" book, which was just a game guide written by, then, current employees of Wizards. Searching for additional sources turns up nothing better. As there is no information here that is not just in-game information, there is nothing worth preserving or merging elsewhere.

- Merge and redirect to Ogre#Ogres_in_popular_culture, where a short plot summary and/or few sentences from this article that are somewhat referenced might survive. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:49, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
- Keep or merge to Ogre per above comments since there are WP:RS to retain, per WP:PRESERVE and WP:ATD. BOZ ( talk) 19:18, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
- Merge and redirect per the arguments above. Daranios ( talk) 21:37, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
- Merge and redirect to Ogre#Ogres in popular culture per the above, as the obvious solution. BD2412 T 01:40, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
