LOTR:Articles for deletion

Articles for Deletion (AfD) is where LOTR users discuss whether articles should be deleted. Items sent here usually wait a couple of weeks while debate takes place on whether the article should be deleted or not; then the deletion process can proceed based on community consensus. The page is then:


 * Kept
 * Deleted per the deletion policy
 * Sent to Cleanup or BJAODN
 * Merged and/or redirected to an existing article
 * Renamed/Moved to another title
 * Userfied to the creator's user page or user subpage

When nominating an article for deletion, add template to the top of its page, which expands to:

Please vote below to either Delete or Keep

Land of the Rising Sun
I vote delete.--DarkLantern 00:06, December 8, 2011 (UTC)

Squinty-eyed Men
I vote delete and a transfer of some text. see: Talk:Squinty-eyed Men or User talk:96.37.157.143--DarkLantern 14:44, December 6, 2011 (UTC)

There is evidence to support they exist. I vote KEEP.

Man Flesh Uruk
I vote delete or rewrite see: Talk:Man Flesh Uruk--DarkLantern 14:44, December 6, 2011 (UTC)

Frega of wold
I vote delete. It is not in The Lord of the Rings text.--DarkLantern 16:01, December 3, 2011 (UTC)

Category:Women of Rohan
Delete I always believed that this category was too generalized. I don't believe in genderized categories here. I vote delete.--DarkLantern 02:13, June 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * Deleted I deleted it as no one bothered to discuss it in the almost two months it was considered.--DarkLantern 11:50, August 27, 2011 (UTC)

Torozûl
Kept This non-canon and appears only in the The Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game but those things are allowed here.--DarkLantern 11:50, August 27, 2011 (UTC)

Novial
I myself can find no connection to LOTR or Tolkien, so in my opinion this has no business in this wikia and should be deleted.

Delete as nominator Authsaelor 21:56, May 15, 2011 (UTC)

Delete I agree.--DarkLantern 11:23, June 25, 2011 (UTC)

Delete: It doesn't get a page on Tolkien Gateway, so why should it get one here?--Wyvern Rex. 11:55, June 25, 2011 (UTC)

Deleted--DarkLantern 12:31, June 25, 2011 (UTC)

Golden Hall of the Rohirrim
There's already an article about the Golden Hall called Meduseld. -- Weas-El ✉  22:18, June 24, 2011 (UTC)

Delete: Same reason as above.--Wyvern Rex. 07:45, June 25, 2011 (UTC)

Delete: I agree.--DarkLantern 11:23, June 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Deleted--DarkLantern 12:31, June 25, 2011 (UTC)

Academy Awards, Academy Award for Best Picture, Golden Globes & Category:Awards
I don't believe that these articles and their Category should be separate articles anymore.

I vote delete and tranfer their text to The Lord of the Rings trilogy movie articles and delete their category as well. I don't believe in a redirect either because I doubt people are going to search for the movies based on what awards they won.--DarkLantern 10:31, January 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Concur with Dark Lantern, delete the articles and categories and merge relevant content into The Lord of the Rings trilogy. McJeff (talk this way)/(stalk this way) 08:11, February 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * In agreement with DarkLantern.--Wyvern Rex. 16:07, March 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * Most deleted--DarkLantern 16:45, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

Scythe
I don't know of any place where this weapon is mentioned by Tolkien so I don't see the need for it.

I vote delete.--DarkLantern 02:07, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

Delete: In agreement.--Wyvern Rex. 12:04, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

Delete: I agree with DarkLantern. I searched "The Hobbit", "The Lord of the Rings", "The Silmarillion" and "Unfinished Tales" for the word "scythe" and found only this sentence: The blue-gleaming blade (Sting) shore through them (cords of Shelob's web) like a scythe through grass. That's imho not enough for creating an own article. Furthermore, the article is extremely short, poorly written and the information about offensive/defensive use is probably wrong, since it differs from the information in War scythe. --Weas-El (Talk) 16:44, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

Bimbur
Delete I suspect this to be fandom never heard of him nor could I find him in the literature or over the internet. I vote delete.--DarkLantern 05:52, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

Delete Moved to LOTR Fanon.

I vote delete.--Wyvern Rex. 11:54, September 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * deleted--DarkLantern 05:40, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

The Middle Earth Timeline
Unnecessary since there is already such a timeline.


 * I vote Delete.--DarkLantern 02:42, August 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Unneeded, delete. --Weas-El (talk) 09:36, August 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Agreed, delete.--Wyvern Rex. 10:27, August 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. -Nistra 11:58, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Wife of Carc
Delete: I don't think this is neccessary as an individual article anymore.

I vote delete and mention it at the Carc article.--DarkLantern 04:55, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

Delete: Mentioned.

I vote delete.--Wyvern Rex. 08:11, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

Delete: Why should there be a full article for a nameless character? 13:08, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

Delete: DarkLantern: Remember to put on the page when you nominate it for deletion. 03:09, August 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Deleted--DarkLantern 04:38, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

Women of Esgaroth
Delete: This article is unnecessary and too generalized.

I vote delete and make a note of what is mentioned there at Esgaroth.--DarkLantern 04:55, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

Delete: Noted.

I vote delete.--Wyvern Rex. 08:11, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

Delete: 03:09, August 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Deleted--DarkLantern 04:38, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

Wives of Woodsmen
Delete: This article is unnecessary as I can find no mention of them at all in the text of The Lord of the Rings or the Appendix being a target for anything despite what it says.

I vote delete.--DarkLantern 01:49, July 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete I added a quote from the Hobbit, that's probably the source. But I agree, that the headword is irrelevant. --Weas-El ( talk ) 08:03, July 28, 2010 (UTC)

Delete: Same reasons as above users. 17:31, July 30, 2010 (UTC)

Delete: Irrelevant.

I vote delete.--Wyvern Rex. 08:11, July 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * Deleted--DarkLantern 04:38, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

Tracker and Soldier Orcs
Delete: I've have never heard of Orcs divided into these types anywhere in the canonical Tolkien text.

I vote delete.--DarkLantern 10:04, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

Delete: Information of argument is correct, the rest isn't.

I vote delete.--Wyvern Rex. 16:57, July 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Deleted 17:31, July 30, 2010 (UTC)

Elven Warriors
I don't support this articles inclusion here anymore. It is too generalized and unnecessary.

I vote delete.--DarkLantern 09:50, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

Delete: I agree.

I vote delete.--Wyvern Rex. 09:58, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

'''Delete. Kellyzac 16:43, July 10, 2010 (UTC)'''

Conservatives
Delete: This page is political nonsense and has nothing to do with the thoughts or works of J.R.R. Tolkien. I would also move for the creator's editing privileges to be revoked.Kellyzac 06:06, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

Comment: The creator of this page's username is Segovax if anyone was wondering, in case his editing privileges were to actually be revoked.

Delete: Undoubtedly vandalism.

I vote delete--Wyvern Rex. 07:40, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

Deleted--DarkLantern 08:19, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

Cirith Ungol orcs‎‎/Mordor Orc
Delete: It fails to add anything to the wiki. It is tautological, and it essentially wastes bytes.

I vote delete.--Wyvern Rex. 17:08, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

Comment: I have added another. At the very best, these poorly written and sometimes completely inaccurate articles should be reduced to a footnote on Orc.--Wyvern Rex. 14:09, July 2, 2010 (UTC)

Delete: Quite amateurish and poorly written if I may say so. They do have some merit in concept however, maybe a footnote in Orc as Wyvern Rex has suggested? Kellyzac 06:22, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

Deleted--DarkLantern 08:19, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

Soldier
Delete: I always thought this article was too generalized to be here.

I vote delete.--DarkLantern 02:32, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

Delete: I'm inclined to agree.

I vote delete.--Wyvern Rex. 14:09, July 2, 2010 (UTC)

Delete: Far to general and somewhat obvious

I vote delete.--Wombat tree 01:33, July 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Deleted--DarkLantern 02:24, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

Fandom:Battle for Middle-Earth III
Delete: If this is fandom suggestions of this video game, then it is not allowed at this wiki and should be deleted.


 * I vote delete.--DarkLantern 05:49, March 27, 2010 (UTC)

Delete: We don't allow fandom. It even calls itself "fandom." Get rid of it.- Middle-Earth Encyclopedia April 23,2010


 * Deleted Fandom.--DarkLantern 14:14, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

Creatures of Middle earth
Delete Vague, unfinished, and perhaps unnecessary in my opinion.--DarkLantern 12:48, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

Delete - if someone has an idea for un-vague-ifying it and finishing it, it can always be recreated.  Mc JEFF  (talk) 21:16, February 11, 2010 (UTC)

Delete - Unless its my pc i dont even know if thats a sentence did someone delete it before i saw it all it said was Wildman of Dunland Creatures from A-Z and continued that didnt open to another link any way i have voted Delete
 * Deleted--DarkLantern 14:58, March 17, 2010 (UTC)

Wife of Girion of Dale
Delete I don't understand the purpose in this article being an independant article. The woman was never mentioned by name that I remember. All that is needed is to mention that he had an unnamed wife.
 * I vote delete.--DarkLantern 12:40, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Delete Pointless.

Wyvern Rex. 19:07, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Comment: I have mentioned her and her escape on Girion. Wyvern Rex. 14:39, February 13, 2010 (UTC)

Comment: Do we need Wife of Carc? Wyvern Rex. 11:11, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

Delete The page is unnecessary now that she's mentioned in the Girion page. Indy Kenobi 00:48, March 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Deleted--DarkLantern 00:56, March 17, 2010 (UTC)

The Fighting Uruk-hai
Delete: Some the text could saved and put into the Uruk-hai (movie) section, but I still vote delete.--DarkLantern 09:29, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

Shouldn't this article be deleted? Alexrd 20:26, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

Delete: Definitely. It's useless. Fatidiot1234 23:43, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

Delete: This seems tautological. Wyvern Rex. 09:57, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

Delete: This article was very sloppy with many words mispelled and quite a few grammatical errors Tolkien would be appalled. also their was no citation distinguishing the information in the article from the info. in the books to that in the movies. it was interesting i'll give him that but we aren't here to disregard the books and just treat the PJ movies as the Bible. Tim enyart.
 * Deleted--DarkLantern 00:56, March 17, 2010 (UTC)

Sea Serpent
Delete The article is suspect. The only thing I can find that could sustain it was the mention of a Fastitocalon, a Giant Turtle here.

Delete As far as I can tell,there are no Sea Serpents in The Lord of the Rings. Wyvern Rex., 18:22, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

Comment: The text does not seem to contain any real information. On the fanon site I am planning a country-building project and will be using Sea Serpents. Wyvern Rex. 13:59, February 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Deleted: No such thing in the Tolkien universe.--DarkLantern 22:25, February 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: This is not... entirely true. There's an etymological reference in The Lost Road that reads "lingwiloke: fish-dragon, sea-serpent". It's not included in a narrative, but it does imply the existence of such a thing. Tevildoii 05:06, April 26, 2011 (UTC)

Order of Wizards
Delete This page should be deleted as it is spam by an unregistered contributor. All links have been changed to a website named "Glyphweb". Rollback Istari (most links also changed to Glyphweb) and get rid of this. Wyvern Rex. 20:21, February 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Deleted by DarkLantern and Istari rolled back. Wyvern Rex. 15:18, February 18, 2010 (UTC)

Shai-Vanan
Delete No such thing in the Canonical Tolkien works, this article is Fandom. I found the name associated with these websites: & .--DarkLantern 06:28, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

Delete Do we know who wrote this? If so, could they be persuaded to move it to the fanon wiki? Wyvern Rex. 12:18, February 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Deleted Fandom, its contents moved to Fandom Lotr wiki by User:Wyvern Rex. who said he is working on that wiki. Fandom is not allowed here.--DarkLantern 17:18, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

Wulfhelm
Delete Never heard of such a Rohirrim character. Fandom or from video games?
 * I vote delete.--DarkLantern 09:37, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Delete Fanon, or video games at best. Wyvern Rex. 19:04, January 23, 2010.


 * Deleted Fandom, its contents moved to Fandom Lotr wiki by User:Wyvern Rex. who said he is working on that wiki. Fandom is not allowed here.--DarkLantern 17:18, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

Grori
Delete Never heard of such a dwarf.


 * I vote delete--DarkLantern 18:51, January 19, 2010 (UTC)

Delete Grori is actully the name of a player and member of a LOTR games forum. Wyvern Rex. 18:36, January 20, 2010.


 * Deleted Fandom, its contents moved to Fandom Lotr wiki by User:Wyvern Rex. who said he is working on that wiki. Fandom is not allowed here.--DarkLantern 17:07, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

Kolrig the steady
Delete Never heard of it. I think this might be fandom.
 * I vote delete.--DarkLantern 21:53, November 27, 2009 (UTC)

Delete Definitely fandom. Wyvern Rex. 15:50, January 20, 2010


 * Deleted Fandom, its contents moved to Fandom Lotr wiki by User:Wyvern Rex. who said he is working on that wiki. Fandom is not allowed here.--DarkLantern 17:07, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

Khazan Ironmaul
Delete The article is suspect and looks like fandom.


 * I vote delete.--DarkLantern 19:28, November 19, 2009 (UTC)

Delete Khazan Ironmaul exists nowhere else on the internet and belongs in the deletion bin. Wyvern Rex. 15:47, January 20, 2010


 * Deleted Fandom, its contents moved to Fandom Lotr wiki by User:Wyvern Rex. who said he is working on that wiki. Fandom is not allowed here.--DarkLantern 17:07, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

Battle of Umbar
Delete: What is this? I've never heard of it. Is it from video games?--DarkLantern 21:18, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Delete: No, I think that it actually happend when Numenor was still strong, but in any case there isn't enough information to have an article on it. --Ecthelion III 13:56, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Delete: Seriously, what the heck is this?? I don't think that they kept score. 04:02, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Comment: Are you sure that it is non-canon? Though I fear I cannot presently pinpoint it exactly, the name stirs my memory. Ralnon (talk) 17:58, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Delete I dont remember this. All the fighting in Umbar was between Men. I think.-- User:Uldor

Comment: There were very many battles of Umbar. Not sure on this one.  Toon Ganondorf (t   c)  13:08, October 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * Deleted No such described battle at Umbar even when Ar-Pharazôn landed there and humbled Sauron. It is true that in later days Gondor fought for control of this area but there was no such named or described battle there. One should create an article called the Seige of Umbar because that’s what was described in the literature.--DarkLantern 08:51, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

Limloth
I can't find this horse in any of the literature. This must be Fandom or from video games.
 * I vote delete.--DarkLantern 06:49, December 9, 2009 (UTC)

Never heard of it as a horse, but Limloth seems vaguely familiar. --Uldor 01:24, December 11, 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - a Yahoo search seems to indicate that Limloth is a fanfic-created character. Here's the fanfic, for the record.  Mc JEFF  (talk) 19:01, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Deleted--DarkLantern 07:16, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

Harimda the harsh
The name for this unnamed Dunlending is pure fantasy nor can I find any evidence that he was played by I man named Terence Branning. I only found this an uncredited wildman in the The Two Towers (film) played by Timothy Lee.
 * Until I see more evidence, I vote delete--DarkLantern 05:13, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

Once again, never heard of it. Doesnt even sound vaguely familiar this time.Delete. --Uldor 01:24, December 11, 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - character appears to be a creation for a Civilization scenario. A google search on " "harimda" "terence branning" only brings up the subject's article and this very AfD page.  Mc JEFF  (talk) 19:05, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Deleted--DarkLantern 07:16, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

Category:Town of Man
Delete category and create a New one called Mannish cities or Cites of Men.
 * I vote yes and new title will be Cites of Men.--DarkLantern 10:05, November 18, 2009 (UTC)

I agree with DarkLantern. Yes, and updated as Cities of Men.--Uldor 01:27, December 11, 2009 (UTC)
 * Deleted, will be known as Cities of Men instead.--DarkLantern 06:24, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

FO 34
Delete: Article is suspect and related to the one below. It claims to be from a book called 'The power of the ring'. by Myriah sosa, and Joshua walton
 * I vote delete.--DarkLantern 12:06, November 5, 2009 (UTC)
 * I vote Delete. --Uldor 23:54, November 14, 2009 (UTC)

Florin Greenleaf
Delete: Never heard of it, looks like video game or fandom stuff.--DarkLantern 22:51, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

Comment I won't comment on whether it's real or not but there's a similar page, created by the same user called FO 34. If it is decided that this page is false and should be deleted, you should also consider deleting it.--TrIPp 08:34, November 5, 2009 (UTC)
