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

Isengard Gate Gaurds
Motivation: The article is kinda vague, I don't think the information stated is correct. (I don't recall Gandalf being worried or anything by Saruman's guards but then again, it's been quite a long time since I read the books.) Also, it's one of the orphaned pages, which means nothing on the wiki redirects to it. Delete All vaguely stated guesses not facts.--DarkLantern 17:55, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

Uruviel's Argonath
Motivation: Advertising of a fan site. I checked the site and the last update was on the 4th of March, 2009 so I think we can assume it's dead as well.--Nognix 16:09, February 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep This is allowed to be here the way it is.--DarkLantern 17:55, February 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Where exactly do you draw the line between fandom and non fandom? You say you don't allow fandom on the site but we have fandom sites and fandom films.--Nognix 19:23, February 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep see:Forum:On Fandom--DarkLantern 05:29, February 25, 2012 (UTC)

Witch King's Ring of Power
Motivation: The rings given to man were not named and we don't know if there were differences between the rings given to men. Thus, there is no reason to make an article specifically about the ring given to the Witch-King. Also, it is an orphaned page.--Nognix 16:15, February 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree, however since the author provided a picture from a video game then that may be grounds for making it a non-canon article.--DarkLantern 17:55, February 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Can you honestly see what it even is in that picture? It's one pixel big and it's the most unclear picture ever. Also, I can see by the graphical style that that isn't a video game picture but a picture from the films.

But no problem, I'll just start writing a ton of worthles articles that do have a picture from a random video game in the article. I could even create random pictures since you don't know anything about videogames and just include those in my useless articles. Anyway, I'll be writing an article about Elfhelm's sword or his helmet and I'll be sure to create a one-pixel-big, unclear, blurry photograph so it fits the guidelines. End of my reductio ad absurdum.--Nognix 19:23, February 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * No, need to over state things Mr. Nognix you've made you're point. I can't find in a search any evidence of this picture or information or connection to a video game anywhere so I vote delete unless of course the author or someone else can justify it.--DarkLantern 05:29, February 25, 2012 (UTC)

Uruk-Hai Scouts
Motivation: The information stated in the article is incorrect, I don't think there is a reference in the books or the films that the first Uruk-hai were called scouts. It is also an orphaned page.--Nognix 16:21, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

The Theme
Motivation: The creator of this page moved a blogpost and created a full article about it. I think this should be removed or cleaned up.--Nognix 16:30, February 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Cleaned up--DarkLantern 17:55, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

Hound
Motivation: All given information is also in the Dog article.--Nognix 17:03, February 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree Delete and transfer text to Dog article.--DarkLantern 03:25, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

Théoden's Decision
Motivation: I'll just use this page for any pages that don't really need to be voted, they just need to be deleted. I didn't see this scene alreadt existed so I made a new one with the same name. Anyway, remove this.--Nognix 18:49, February 28, 2012 (UTC)

Evil Eye
Motivation: This article seems to be made up in its entirety. Lolinder (talk) 07:03, July 7, 2012 (UTC)

Storms
Motivation: It is one of the orphaned pages on the wiki, which means no articles link to it. Although it has some useful information, I think the article should be deleted because it also has incorrect information and sometimes the author guesses wildly on things.--Nognix 15:55, February 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep (for now) since the article has some "useful" inforation. I vote clean up and remove the the "wildly guesses".--DarkLantern 17:55, February 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * I vote Delete now. This is unnecessary and the author has never come back to justify or argue it.--DarkLantern (talk) 14:07, July 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * Deleted--DarkLantern (talk) 14:07, July 7, 2012 (UTC)

Grima's Henchmen
Motivation: I just checked my copy of the Two Towers, some men rush to stop Gandalf but I wouldn't say (and they aren't named as either) they are Grima's Henchmen. Therefore, I think it should be removed.--Nognix 17:03, February 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree Delete.--DarkLantern 03:25, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

Cumbersome sword
Motivation: The Berserkers' weaponry is covered extensively in the Berserkers article. This shouldn't be an article in my opinion.--Nognix 15:10, February 22, 2012 (UTC) I agree Delete. I can't find any place on a google search where it is mentioned but here so until somebody does I vote to be rid of it.--DarkLantern 05:29, February 25, 2012 (UTC)

Deorl
Motivation: Searches on Google only lead to fandom sites, so I presume this is fandom.--Nognix 17:03, February 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree Delete.--DarkLantern 03:25, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

The Great Year
Motivation: All the information is covered in the Third Age article, making this article unnecessary.--Nognix 16:34, February 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree.--DarkLantern 17:55, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

Houses of the Dead
Motivation: I have no clue where this "location" is situated, furthermore it's as good as a blank page. The infobox is kinda vague.--Nognix 01:35, January 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * This exists. It is the name of the place in Minas Tirith where the Kings of Gondor and Stewards of Gondor were buried in the Hallows.--DarkLantern 03:32, January 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep: this does exist. In the Street of Kings, if I remember correctly from the "Tale of Aragorn and Arwen".--Wyvern Rex. 16:46, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Kept--DarkLantern 18:01, March 25, 2012 (UTC)

Vardolk
No such name for that character. However, the character is an unnamed one that appeared in the movies so I vote Delete and add the text to List of unnamed original characters of the books and films.--DarkLantern 10:31, February 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * Agreed--Nognix 16:13, February 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * Agreed--Wyvern Rex. 12:15, February 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Tranferred to text to List of unnamed original characters of the books and films--DarkLantern 05:32, March 22, 2012 (UTC)

Bolingúl
No such name for that character. However, the character is an unnamed one that appeared in the movies so I vote Delete and add the text to List of unnamed original characters of the books and films.--DarkLantern 10:31, February 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * Agreed--Nognix 16:15, February 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete: name is mentioned of Wikipedia entry for Jed Brophy, IMDb doesn't recognise it though and credits the character as Orc Lieutenant 1.--Wyvern Rex. 12:14, February 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Tranferred to text to List of unnamed original characters of the books and films--DarkLantern 05:32, March 22, 2012 (UTC)

Gordmúl
Motivation: Has no hits on the Internet, so I suggest removing the article and transferring the contents to the List of unnamed original characters of the books and films.--Nognix 16:33, February 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete: no reference that I could see.-- Wyvern Rex. 12:15, February 3, 2012 (UTC)

Delete I can find no proof of this orc in the movie being named that.--DarkLantern 17:55, February 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Tranferred to text to List of unnamed original characters of the books and films--DarkLantern 05:32, March 22, 2012 (UTC)

Long bow
Motivation: See talk page.--Nognix 20:21, January 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Bow (weapon) page.--DarkLantern 00:20, January 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * Agreed with DarkLantern.--Wyvern Rex. 16:46, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirected to Bow (weapon)--DarkLantern 10:07, March 20, 2012 (UTC)

Twin
Motivation: I don't see the need to have such a page. If we really want to emphasize that people are twin-brothers, perhaps a separate category or something is in order. If we do want to keep this article, I suggest it be rewritten for the information in it, isn't true. I'm talking about: "Twins are people in a family who are born at the same time and both of which completely look alike." and in particular, the "which look completely alike"-part.


 * Keep: A legitimate definition page but could be rewritten.--DarkLantern 08:55, January 14, 2012 (UTC)


 * If you want definition pages about non-LOTR subjects, why not go to Wikipedia or Wiktionary, that's their use, this wiki has its own use!--Nognix 09:22, January 14, 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment: Might I suggest that we replace the page with something like "Twins in Tolkien's Mythology" to list characters who are twins and discuss the relevance of this to Tolkien's legendarium?--Wyvern Rex. 09:27, January 14, 2012 (UTC)


 * Agreed to Wyvern Rex.--Nognix 12:09, January 14, 2012 (UTC)


 * I agree with renaming it Twins in Tolkien's Mythology--DarkLantern 03:32, January 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Renamed Twins in Tolkien's Mythology--DarkLantern 04:33, March 15, 2012 (UTC)

Unknown Isengard Metal
Motivation: This has no use here. --Nognix 21:32, January 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep: So long as it is not fandom it may remain.--DarkLantern 08:55, January 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment I know of no such special metal.--DarkLantern 03:32, January 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete: Or alternatively rename, as all references to the Impregnable nature of Orthanc, the Black Gate (unsure of?) and the Outer Wall of Minas Tirith say "Black Stone" they may or may not be related --DK Wolf 27 07:56, February 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Deleted--DarkLantern 04:09, March 14, 2012 (UTC)

Tolkien memes
Motivation: Fandom. --Nognix 12:16, January 24, 2012 (UTC)

Delete: fandom and excessively transient.--Wyvern Rex. 17:33, January 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * I agree.--DarkLantern 10:31, February 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * Deleted--DarkLantern 21:35, February 25, 2012 (UTC)

Bacon
Motivation: This page is one of our orphaned pages, which means nothing on the wiki links to this page. Secondly, this has no relevance, anyone searching for the explanation of the word "Bacon" or something, will presumeably not come to the wiki.--Nognix 15:00, February 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * Agreed - unless someone is willing to update the article to inlcude eggs. Eärnur 02:09, February 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete I agree it is too basic and general.--DarkLantern 05:29, February 25, 2012 (UTC)

Balar Belendriath
Motivation: pretty sure this guy's a complete falacy, just read the article if you disagree --' DK Wolf 27 ' 17:23, February 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * None of these names get any hits on Google so I guess it is fandom. Nice find!--Nognix 17:48, February 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Deleted and moved--DarkLantern 17:55, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

Palar Neldoreth
Motivation: same as the above, same author. -- 'DK Wolf 27 ' 17:23, February 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * None of these names get any hits on Google so I guess it is fandom. Nice find!--Nognix 17:48, February 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Deleted and moved--DarkLantern 17:55, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

Joren Palarion
Motivation: same again -- 'DK Wolf 27 ' 17:23, February 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * None of these names get any hits on Google so I guess it is fandom. Nice find!--Nognix 17:48, February 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * Deleted and moved--DarkLantern 17:55, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

Jahil Palarleaf
Motivation: same again -- 'DK Wolf 27 ' 17:23, February 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * None of these names get any hits on Google so I guess it is fandom. Nice find!--Nognix 17:48, February 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * Deleted and moved--DarkLantern 17:55, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

King Brûdhan
Delete: This is mod (made by fans) as all the evidence I have read has suggusted. I no longer support them being here. I vote Delete and transfer them to the Fanon wiki.--DarkLantern 07:51, January 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * Agreed.--Nognix 02:03, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Moved.--Wyvern Rex. 16:46, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Deleted--DarkLantern 20:02, February 4, 2012 (UTC)

Eldaravir
Delete: This is mod (made by fans) as all the evidence I have read has suggusted. I no longer support them being here. I vote Delete and transfer them to the Fanon wiki.--DarkLantern 07:51, January 30, 2012 (UTC)

 * Moved.--Wyvern Rex. 16:46, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Deleted--DarkLantern 20:02, February 4, 2012 (UTC)

Eranoth
Delete: This is mod (made by fans) as all the evidence I have read has suggusted. I no longer support them being here. I vote Delete and transfer them to the Fanon wiki.--DarkLantern 07:51, January 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * Agreed--Nognix 02:04, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Moved.--Wyvern Rex. 16:46, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Deleted--DarkLantern 20:02, February 4, 2012 (UTC)

Khôragan
Delete: This is mod (made by fans) as all the evidence I have read has suggusted. I no longer support them being here. I vote Delete and transfer them to the Fanon wiki.--DarkLantern 07:51, January 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * I have transferred the article and image to the fanon wiki. Others will follow.--Wyvern Rex. 12:26, February 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * Deleted--DarkLantern 15:01, February 4, 2012 (UTC)

BoardGameGeek
Motivation: Debatable, but I'd say this is advertising. --Nognix 00:09, January 24, 2012 (UTC)

Delete: irrelevant, a link to Wikipedia would be better.--Wyvern Rex. 17:33, January 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment: If the verdict is that this article should be deleted or linked to Wikipedia, I might remark that there are a number of articles like this one. Articles about sites which sell Tolkien-related products.--Nognix 19:30, January 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep There are several articles described here on companies that have distributed or are distributing Tolkien related. They are legitimate even if they are incomplete.--DarkLantern 03:32, January 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment: Ok, I'll make an article about eBay soon. This would be possible since I'm sure at least one person has tried to sell Tolkien stuff on eBay.


 * Opps, it IS an online retailer not a maker. Deleted--DarkLantern 10:31, February 2, 2012 (UTC)

News
Motivation: Left some more on DarkLantern's talk. It's a broken main page thing.--Nognix 00:09, January 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * Problem fixed--DarkLantern 05:30, January 29, 2012 (UTC)

The Lord of the Rings Extended Edition Characters
Motivation: The characters here will be the same characters as in the actual film character categories, thus, I don't see a point in having a separate category summing up the characters that appeared in the extended edition.--Nognix 22:17, January 23, 2012 (UTC)

Delete: true.--Wyvern Rex. 17:33, January 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * I agree.--DarkLantern 21:35, January 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * Deleted--DarkLantern 00:20, January 27, 2012 (UTC)

Phantams
Motivation: Has already been put up for deletion, author hasn't come back to finish it. The actual, real information in it is already covered in an article about undead. (Oh, and I'm merely putting it up here as well since no one seems to bother deleting the articles that are up for deletion on the category page.)--Nognix 16:41, January 24, 2012 (UTC)

Redirected: mention on the undead article.--Wyvern Rex. 17:33, January 24, 2012 (UTC)

Redirected to Undead article.--DarkLantern 21:35, January 24, 2012 (UTC)

Radegast (god)
Motivation: He has an article on wikipedia already, I see no reason to have one here.--Nognix 00:09, January 24, 2012 (UTC)

Delete: only worth mentioning as a footnote on the Radagast article.--Wyvern Rex. 17:33, January 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * Redirected Will make it a footnote at the Radagast page.--DarkLantern 21:35, January 24, 2012 (UTC)

The Hobbit - Arwen's Gift
Motivation: Someone pointed this out. Fandom, advertising...--Nognix 22:05, January 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * Deleted clearly fandom--DarkLantern 22:09, January 23, 2012 (UTC)

What If The Ring Servived?
Motivation: Shouldn't be one of the main pages or should be rewritten (as in changing the title). --Nognix 20:40, January 16, 2012 (UTC)

Deleted--DarkLantern 20:29, January 17, 2012 (UTC)

Unamed orc (Pelinor Feilds
Motivation: Useless redirect, also a double one (which isn't the point). No one will go looking for the Pelinor Fields or something.--Nognix 20:46, January 16, 2012 (UTC)

Deleted--DarkLantern 20:29, January 17, 2012 (UTC)

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

Vote: Delete. For the same reasons as below, this encyclopedia should not be concerned about unnamed figurants. --Nognix 21:25, January 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete: Unnamed, speculative, non-canon, non-encyclopedic.--Wyvern Rex. 09:29, January 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * The article is forfeit for two reasons one see: Talk:Man Flesh Uruk and the fact he is a no name non-canonical character and it was decided to list them here.--DarkLantern 07:57, January 16, 2012 (UTC)

Unknown Uruk Scout (Mordor)
Motivation: See Unknown Orc Scout. --Nognix 18:28, January 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep: So long as it is not fandom it may remain however it needs citations.--DarkLantern 08:55, January 14, 2012 (UTC)

Redirected to List of unnamed original characters of the books and films--DarkLantern 15:26, January 14, 2012 (UTC)

Armoured Mordor Troll Chieftain
Motivation: I, myself, am not sure about this one, it has some unreferenced "facts" and also some things that definitely need citation. I'm sure this has to be or rewritten or removed. I think the only reason why someone would read, even find this page is when he accidentally bumped it into it using the random page button. --Nognix 18:26, January 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep: So long as it is not fandom it may remain however it needs citations.--DarkLantern 08:55, January 14, 2012 (UTC)

Redirected to List of unnamed original characters of the books and films--DarkLantern 15:26, January 14, 2012 (UTC)

Unamed Orc (Pelennor Fields)
Motivation: See above. --Nognix 23:12, January 13, 2012 (UTC) EDIT: Blasted red links, here's the link, it isn't letting me link to the page. http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Unamed_orc_%28Pelennor_Fields%29

Redirected to List of unnamed original characters of the books and films--DarkLantern 15:26, January 14, 2012 (UTC)

Unnamed Uruk-Hai Warrior (Helm's Deep)
Motivation: See above.--Nognix 23:12, January 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep: So long as it is not fandom it may remain.--DarkLantern 08:55, January 14, 2012 (UTC)

Redirected to List of unnamed original characters of the books and films--DarkLantern 15:26, January 14, 2012 (UTC)

Minas Tirith Beacon Guard
Motivation: Same as usual, I don't think it's this encyclopedia's task to start writing articles about figurants. Sorry to all the people who put their hearts and souls in these articles but I'm open for discussion. --Nognix 18:35, January 3, 2012 (UTC)

Redirected to List of unnamed original characters of the books and films--DarkLantern 15:26, January 14, 2012 (UTC)

Unknown Orc Scout (Mordor)
Motivation: This is ridiculous, I did some useless edits in my time but this tops them all. The article is uninformative and the writing style is horrendous. Although it's great to have the unknown Wikia contributor trying to help, I think no one wants to know about unknown orcs/uruks which don't even have a name. I vote for deletion --Nognix 18:19, January 13, 2012 (UTC)

Keep: So long as it is not fandom it may remain.--DarkLantern 08:55, January 14, 2012 (UTC)

Redirected to List of unnamed original characters of the books and films--DarkLantern 15:26, January 14, 2012 (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.
 * Delete: nothing more than another strain of half-orc but worth mentioning on said half-orc article.--Wyvern Rex. 12:50, December 8, 2011 (UTC)

Vote: Delete. --Nognix 21:22, January 13, 2012 (UTC)

Deleted and made a note at both Squint-eyed Southerner and Ruffians pages.--DarkLantern 11:38, January 14, 2012 (UTC)

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

Vote: Delete. --Nognix 21:29, January 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete.--Wyvern Rex. 09:31, January 14, 2012 (UTC)


 * Deleted--DarkLantern 10:30, January 14, 2012 (UTC)

Land of the Rising Sun
I vote delete.--DarkLantern 00:06, December 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete: unneeded.--Wyvern Rex. 12:50, December 8, 2011 (UTC)

Vote: Delete. But, in case that this is actually true (since I don't recall it), make a reference a citation in the Rhun article. --Nognix 21:18, January 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep new information: It was a name for the Uttermost East in the Ambarkanta see: here.--DarkLantern 08:56, January 14, 2012 (UTC)

Battle of Romanon
I vote delete, never heard of this.--DarkLantern 04:54, December 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete: fanon, moved to fanon wiki.--Wyvern Rex. 14:40, December 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Deleted--DarkLantern 20:21, December 9, 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)

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)

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: 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.

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)

Wife of Girion of Dale
Delete I don't understand the purpose in this article being an independent article. The woman was never mentioned by name that I remember. All that is needed is to mention that he had an unnamed wife.

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

Delete: This article was very sloppy with many words misspelled and quite a few grammatical errors Tolkien would be appalled. also there 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.

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)

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 happened 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 don't 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.

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. Doesn't 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)
