Subject lacks much critical analysis or any significant coverage outside of his appearances in the modern conan the barbarian works (e.g., ). Checked ProQuest, Gnews, Gbooks, and newspapaper.com. Support merge with The Dark Man and Others. —LastJabberwocky (Rrarr) 15:20, 9 September 2026 (UTC)

- Question so there appear to be several reasonable merge targets; to where would you suggest it be merged, if indeed it is not kept as a standalone article? Jclemens (talk) 16:46, 9 September 2026 (UTC)
- Support merge but not sure about the target. The stories "The Children of the Night (short story)" and "The Haunter of the Ring" where John Kirowan appears do not seem to be notable at the moment. I would merge "The Children of the Night" and John Kirowan with anthology The Dark Man and Others, which should have more coverage than a single story. —LastJabberwocky (Rrarr) 19:10, 9 September 2026 (UTC)
- Redirect or merge due to lack of GNG (this is just fancrufty plot summary). Perhaps List of Cthulhu Mythos characters would be the best target? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:39, 10 September 2026 (UTC)

Relisting comment: I see a consensus for merging....but this needs more discussion to decide upon the best target.
