Redirect to Gondor. I don't see why deletion is necessary when a redirect will do as fine and still allows the name to show up in categories (Category:Middle-earth Men). Uthanc (talk) 06:25, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Because it's non-notable, unreferenced and not likely to ever be a search term. Ridernyc (talk) 10:42, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's likely to be a search term because it's Tolkien. Some will inevitably treat Wikipedia like a Tolkien encyclopedia site. I'm not saying we should keep every single scrap of info but there's a place for everything no matter how small. Uthanc (talk) 12:15, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or merge in toto. Every named character who actually does something in the plot should have an article, considering this is famous fiction. The book itself is an adequate source. DGG ( talk ) 14:38, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There are an awful lot of Tolkien characters. Abductive (reasoning) 04:01, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect. Without secondary sources there cannot be an encyclopedic treatment of the topic. This character is quite obscure, and is part of the deep history of the LotR. Abductive (reasoning) 04:01, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
