High elves[edit]

The concept of a high elf is a common trope, but not a notable one. Fails WP:GNG, and Tolkien's high elves have their own article anyway at Calaquendi. _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 21:39, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

At the least, about half of these uses would make up an acceptable disam page, no? Johnbod (talk) 02:25, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't think there's anything notable enough to disambiguate between. The page uses the concept of "high elf" loosely to also refer to "light elves", or other elves that aren't described as "high elves". There is High Elves (Warhammer) but that seems equally as non notable as a standalone page._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 04:04, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep there's enough here for some form of disambiguation page. There are enough problems with the current content I wouldn't mind a delete+redirect to some page on "sentient species in fantasy games", though. power~enwiki (π, ν) 05:21, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to the subpages of Lists of fictional humanoid species there are already plenty of elves in there. After the merge is complete a redirect to Elves in fiction would be appropriate. Winner 42 Talk to me! 17:00, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This is the English language Wikipedia and so we should prefer the title high elf to the Quenya Calaquendi when talking of Tolkien's work, which is certainly notable. Andrew D. (talk) 19:51, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There is more in this world than Tolkien alone. The Banner talk 16:48, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
