- Redirect to Shannara. There is no coverage of this fictional tree in any independent and secondary sources that I can find. Like the vast majority of fictional characters/creatures out there, it hasn't been discussed in-depth and separate from the series by any reliable sources, so a redirect to the main article for Shannara would be best. If there was a list of characters for the series I'd recommend redirecting it there, but we don't seem to have such a list. On a side note, I notice that we have quite a few Shannara characters with pages, so if some intrepid person wants to create such a list, that list would probably pass whatever notability exists for lists of that kind. But for this particular individual character? No, there's just no notability here that's separate from the series. This is probably better suited for a fan wiki than here.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 03:44, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect to Shannara - Concur with Tokyogirl79. This is fan wiki material. There is no notability outside of Shannara. There's this [1] for fans of the series. I hardly think that even the characters merit any Wikipedia pages, considering there are countless characters from major novels (i.e. Alexei Vronsky from Anna Karenina) without pages of their own.

- Delete no sources to WP:verify notability, so it can never meet the WP:GNG. Shooterwalker (talk) 23:34, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
