Tar-Aldarion appears in a work that was never completed by Tolkien, and that when published by his son was left in an unfinished state. This is not the stuff notability is made of, there is zero reason to have a stand alone article on him, and the sourcing per se is all primary, with the external links neither being the type of secondary scholarly works we need to establish the notability of a fictional element.

- Redirect to Numenor#Monarchy, where the figure is referenced as the sixth king of Numenor. Only mentions in reliable secondary sources I can find are in passing, so Tar-Aldarion does not warrant his own article. Hog Farm (talk) 21:04, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Redirect looks fine for Numenor#Monarchy, it barely exists even within the Tolkien Legendarium, hard to believe this minutiae has existed for sixteen years. ValarianB (talk) 15:01, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
