LOTR:Articles to be merged

I'll leave the voting open until all articles are decided on and merged to encourage others to vote, see who else will show up, and to perhaps discover others that could be merged. Please do not proceed with a merge of any of these articles yet until I conclude things.

It has come to my attention that there are several articles here that are under different names but are essentially the same thing, but should be merged into one article under one name. But which name should it be? So I am gathering votes for the merging of such articles and under what name they should be under. After all votes are counted, I will close matters and draw-up a set of guidelines and the articles can then be merged.

Please be sure to read the guidelines before merging anything please.

The merging of Battle of Azanulbizar and Battle of Nanduhirion under what name? (voting closed & merged)

 * The Battle of Azanulbizar or the Battle of Nanduhirion?. When or if this article is merged under which name should it be? I vote the Battle of Azanulbizar because it was a dwarven war fought by dwarves only against the orcs.DarkLantern 12:38, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

The merging of the Battle at the Black Gate and Battle of the Morannon under which name? (voting closed & Merged)

 * Vote: Yes, but I think it should be named Battle at the Black Gate because that is what people know best. --Nognix 21:58, 25 may 2009 (UTC)


 * I vote Yes. I like the Battle of the Morannon. User:Uldor


 * Yes, I prefer Battle of the Morannon - Razor77 03:55, 1 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I vote "Yes." There the same battle.Theblackrider369 19:19, 3 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I vote Yes. They are the same thing. I say it should be named Battle of the Morannon because it simply sounds better than Battle at the Black Gate.--Ecthelion III 01:49, September 3, 2009 (UTC)


 * I vote No; neither. Both should be merged under the "War of the Ring". Although is was an important conflict, it was *not* listed in the index of either the Return of the King (where a seemingly lesser battle, the "Battle of the Peak", was) nor the Silmarillion as a separate, distinct battle.


 * I vote Yes. The Battle of Morannon says the name of the battle more specifically. --&quot;The stars are veiled. Something stirs in the East. A sleepless malice. The Eye of the enemy is moving.&quot; —Legolas 22:58, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

 * I think I'm going to go with the more common name "Laketown" as it was in the book.
 * I'm changing my vote to Laketown.--DarkLantern 02:26, 2 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I vote for Laketown that’s the more common reference. --Rawn 18:16, 25 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Vote:Yes. With the name Esgaroth.--Odysseas-Spartan 53  19:49, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

The merging of the Scale and Smaug into one article under which name? (Voting closed & merged)

 * I vote yes it should be merged.--DarkLantern 16:07, 25 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I vote yes. --Rawn 18:16, 25 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Vote: No, other dragons have scales as well. I think it's like merging "horse" with "rohirrim". The scales are a part of Smaug but also of Ancaligon or Glaurung. --Nognix 22:01, 25 may 2009 (UTC)


 * I vote no. I agree that that is like merging horse with Rohirrim. User:Uldor


 * True the all the other dragons have scales, but in the article it is talking about Smaug's so if it isn’t to be merged with Smaug perhaps it should be re-written if it is that important stating that all dragons have scales. Just a thought.--Serrious 02:50, 28 May 2009 (UTC)


 * If some one thinks that it is with in the scope of this wiki to have a generic article on Scales then this article needs to be rewritten to encompass that. However, I feel that an article on Scales is out side of the focus of this wiki, and since the only thing that links to Scale is a redirect from Scale (zoology), and that only has a link form the article Smaug, the link on the Smaug article should be redirected to Wikipedia and both Scale and Scale (zoology) should be deleted. - Razor77 03:55, 1 June 2009 (UTC)


 * For this wiki to be complete, it is highly desirable to have articles such as "Scale" to cover the aspects of scales in Tolkien writings that aren't covered on Wikipedia. By all means have a link to Wikipedia from that page, for readers who feel they want general matters about scales, but don't send our readers there for everything about scales. The redirect from Scale (zoology) is useful as long as there may be material here that has been copied from Wikipedia with WP links in it - which can mean "for ever" because at any time we may find something new on WP worth copying. — Robin Patterson (Talk) 03:29, October 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes. I don't see the relevance of Scale. I'm in favor of including it into the article Smaug and leave a redirect to that headline. --Weas-El ( talk &#124; blog ) 07:47, April 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * I vote yes. The article is only two sentences long, both about Smaug.  Maybe if it gave a detailed description of dragon scales based on any dragon referenced in any of the books, it could stay, but even then, it seems like it should just be a heading under Dragons instead.  It really serves no purpose on its own. Lord Knight Xiron 18:48, June 4, 2010 (UTC)Lord Knight Xiron
 * The decision on this issue after a year and based on the input of others is to merge the text from Scale, and put it in the Smaug article under Smaug's scales.

The merging of Forlindon and Harlindon into Lindon.

The merging of Far Harad and Near Harad with Harad.

 * I vote yes--DarkLantern 06:46, September 19, 2009 (UTC)

I vote No. They are both distinct regions in Harad. In my opinion, that is like merging articles aboutIllinois and New Mexico into an article about the United States.--Uldor 20:42, November 11, 2009 (UTC)

I vote No Each are distinct regions within Harad derserving of separate entry, however, I would argue in favor of including summaries about the two regions into an article discussing the nation-state of Harad. NJZimmermann 22:55, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

The merging of Peredhil with Half-elven
I vote yes under its most common name Half-elven.--DarkLantern 18:49, October 18, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes for me too, but I suppose this brings up a recurring question: are articles to be titled with most popular name, or with the name in it's respective "original" language? I vote for more popular, as many fans have no desire to find and are not familiar with Quenya, Sindarin, etc, names. I feel compelled to imagine that Tolkien would have very much preferred his own invented names...


 * I vote Yes, under Peredhil. I prefer the original names. --Uldor 20:47, November 11, 2009 (UTC)


 * I vote yes to merging, but I think it must still be answered if Westron (English) or Sindarin is the de facto "standard" language. -- Alvincura 00:29, February 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, but I'm indecisive about the headword. --Weas-El ( talk &#124; blog ) 07:47, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

The merging of Gulf of Lhûn with Gulf of Lune

 * I vote yes. Gulf of Lune is more common.--DarkLantern 16:31, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

Yes, but merge Lune into Lhun as I think the original name deserves the namesake, and then redirect Lune to Lhun, if necessary. Fruit.Smoothie 05:41, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

The merging of House of Marach with House of Hador

 * I vote yes.--DarkLantern 18:20, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, but I'm indecisive about the headword, but House of Marach seems to be more appropriate. --Weas-El ( talk &#124; blog ) 07:47, April 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes - These two are indeed the same; however, House of Hador is a much more common name, thus I think it should be kept. 02:35, August 3, 2010 (UTC)

The merging of Noegyth Nibin with Petty-dwarves

The Merging of Eagles, Eagles of Manwë & Great Eagles into one article or the Great Eagles & Eagles of Manwë into one article with Eagles as a separate article

 * I vote Great Eagles and Eagles of Manwë put together and Eagles remaining separate.--DarkLantern 05:23, January 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * I vote to merge the content of Great Eagles into Eagles of Manwe, remove overlapping or redundant info, then merge Eagles of Manwe into Eagles, and create the appropriate == Eagles of Manwe == header for it within the aforementioned Eagles article. Fruit.Smoothie 05:37, February 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, I say we merge the three to Great Eagles. Eagles isn't relevant, there are no other eagles in the books, as far as I know. --Weas-El ( talk &#124; blog ) 07:47, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

The merging of Zirak-zigil and Celebdil into on article under the name Celebdil

 * I vote yes under the name Celebdil it seems more common.--DarkLantern 11:48, February 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * I vote yes to the merge, however Zirak-zigil is more commonly referred to in the books as the mountain. Perhaps compromising with Silvertine in Westron, rather than the Kuzdul or Sindarin forms should be considered. Is there a de facto language for proper names in the wiki? -- Alvincura 00:28, February 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, but I'm indecisive about the headword. --Weas-El ( talk &#124; blog ) 07:47, April 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, but, as I've only ever heard Zirak-zigil, I would like it titled as such. User:Henneth Annun
