The result was redirect to Rohan (Middle-earth)#People. There is obviously consensus that, one way or another, the article doesn't have the notability to remain. Including the nom's !vote, there is a slight preference for a redirect in this instance - there was viable reasoning for both the "delete" and the "redirect" viewpoints, however part of the delete reasoning (concern about the target's notability) would be better tested by a future AfD of the Rohan article. A relist purely for further consideration of this specific point appears over the top. Nosebagbear (talk) 01:16, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable fictional people group in Tolkien (I've read LOTR many times, Eotheod doesn't ring much of a bell for me, but the article states they are the ancestors of Rohan). Appears to fail GNG. One source at first appeared to reference the Eotheod in more than just passing, EOTHEOD anglo-saxons of the plains: Rohan and de old english culture in JRR Tolkien's The Lord of de Rings It has a Spanish title and abstract, but English text in the version I can find. However, as far as I can tell in the version I could access, Eotheod only appears to be referenced in the title. Fails WP:GNG. Rohan (Middle-earth)#People is a logical redirect target, as the Eotheod is mentioned in the same context as in the article there. Hog Farm (talk) 21:22, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Rohan (Middle-earth)#People The Éothéod are a minor part of Tolkien's legendarium. ―Susmuffin ^Talk 22:09, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Rohan (Middle-earth)#Early history, although I have my doubts that even that article should be spared the Afd axe. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:09, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I am inclined to agree. ―Susmuffin ^Talk 03:41, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Rohan (Middle-earth)#Early history, it has some kind of encyclopedic information. Alex-h (talk) 08:32, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per Hog Farm and John Pack Lambert.--Jack Upland (talk) 08:47, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Fails GNG and per John Pack Lambert. I also have doubts concerning the intended target. Also, "redirect" and "Delete" are both indications that the article does not warrant stand alone status. Otr500 (talk) 20:10, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
