Talk:Brood spawn

Deletion?
I don't think this article necessarilly has to be deleted, as we do have the  ❌  tag for such cases. Does anyone know as to whether or not this page can and should be expanded and remain on the wiki? I am not overly familiar with the Elder evils and their spawn, and have no strong opinion, one way or the other? Ruf (talk) 12:19, 31 December 2020 (UTC)


 * This is a general reply to completely unrelated articles, not specifically for this article.


 * The ❌ tag doesn't give an excuse for any unrelated things to be added to the wiki, that is not the purpose of the tag. It's a tag to tell us it needs attention. These pages are in the same cleanup category as "Plagiarized articles", which can be fixed, or otherwise get deleted. Many of these unrelated articles can't be fixed if there exists no Realms relation, so that only leaves the latter.


 * This is made quite clear in multiple places, such as:
 * The front page,
 * "This wiki covers the rich and popular Forgotten Realms campaign setting for Dungeons & Dragons from TSR, Inc. and Wizards of the Coast, including Realmslore from [the Oriental Adventures, Al-Qadim, Maztica, The Horde, Planescape, and Spelljammmer] related settings, covering sourcebooks, novels, video games, comics, and more across all editions."


 * the scope of the wiki,
 * Other wikis: "two Dungeons & Dragons wikis, dnd-wiki.org and Dungeons.Fandom.com, aim to provide such information for D&D core elements and elements from different campaign settings." ~ Possessed Priest (talk) 14:16, 31 December 2020 (UTC)


 * and the about page.
 * The wiki's "aim is to provide an accurate reference to official Realmslore". Thus, we cover "articles on core Dungeons & Dragons information only where it pertains specifically to the Forgotten Realms."


 * In conclusion, and not just for the reasons to do with the scope of the wiki, I strongly feel as if totally unrelated pages should be removed. ~ Possessed Priest (talk) 14:16, 31 December 2020 (UTC)


 * I am generally okay with including unrelated items, creatures, spells, and such because those things could theoretically be somewhere in the Realms (and often, we do find connections after the fact). However, Lymic and the Brood Spawn are very much unrelated and are more like individuals- either they're related or not. The book they come from offers suggestions of where they could be located, but nothing definite. Unless they show up in 5e with a Realms connection, there is nothing connecting Lymic to the Realms.
