- Keep, but move to Creature type (there is no need for disambiguation), and expand to cover the concept of creature types as employed in other gaming systems. bd2412 T 17:23, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

bd2412, do you have any sources to show that this is a notable topic? When I do a web search, I mostly get RPG source books, which are neither reliable nor independent.

- I am finding it more difficult to pinpoint sources than I would have expected. Nevertheless, typology of monsters is a ubiquitous characteristic of role-playing games. Perhaps the solution is to find a more appropriate term to head this under. bd2412 T 19:28, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

- Delete per nomination. The article is nothing but a primary-sourced game guide. As mentioned by both the nomination and BD2412, sources on this topic showing notability are not readily available. A properly sourced article, potentially under a more accurate title, on a similar concept in general, as proposed by bd2412 has merit, but doing so does not require the retention of this primary sourced game guide.
