Appears to be a WP:GNG fail. I can find a paragraph in [1] comparing Isildur and Anárion to Romulus and Remus, but that's it in the way of analysis, rather than name-dropping. If someone has access to Mythlore archives, there might be something about Anárion in there, as that publication has produced some good Tolkien-related articles, but based on the sources I can find (the article is only primary-sourced and primary sources cannot prove notability) are not enough to demonstrate a WP:GNG pass.

Delete I cannot find any substantial discussions of this character. Also, I have access to Mythlore through the SWOSU Digital Commons. Unfortunately, Anárion is only briefly mentioned in a handful of articles. ―Susmuffin ^Talk 11:04, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The article lacks 3rd party sources, and when you have to source something to a note in a book we are going for minor impact primary sourcing. There are no secondary sources of note. He is not actually important to any of Tolkien's plots, and being important to Tolkien's plots is not a default sign of notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:56, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, the article fails WP:GNG, being sourced entirely to primary sources, and the one source found is not enough to pass GNG. Devonian Wombat (talk) 00:26, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. So minor that Tolkien Encyclopedia does not mention him in the index, only in passing in one sentence in another entry, where he is even spelled without the accent "Denethor has long sought knowledge throughthe palantir of Anarion". Utmost fancruft. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 20:26, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
