This title is a name from a video game taken to refer to the leader of Harad in the Tolkien universe. There's no real coverage of this figure in reliable sources. The article consists of some direct quotes referring to the unnamed figure in LOTR, then a reference to the video game, with some possible OR sprinkled in (unsourced statements about how some fans don't consider something to be "canonical" is usually OR). I see no pass of GNG here, and I think a redirect would be detrimental because "Serpent Lord" could refer to several things. Hog Farm (talk) 20:31, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The "Serpent Lord" is a non-notable character who was not even named in the original work. ―Susmuffin ^Talk 21:28, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is not an "important" character. Tolkien tells us so little of him, an unnamed chieftain, that we have no idea how much of Haradim he really controlled. I also have to point out that the plot summary is written in the wrong tense. Plot summaries should be written in present not past tense. I would fix this one, but with so much original research and use of priary sources this article is doomed.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:56, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
