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 {{afd}} to the top of its page, which expands to:

"I regret to announce this is the end." This article has been nominated for deletion. Please share your thoughts on the matter at this article's entry on the Articles for deletion page. Reason: no reason given You are welcome to edit this article, but please do not blank this article or remove this notice while the discussion is in progress.

Please vote below to either Delete or Keep

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. Gamma Metroid | talk | contribs | edits 17:31, July 30, 2010 (UTC)

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)

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)

Deleted--DarkLantern 08:34, July 11, 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)

I vote delete.--DarkLantern 08:19, 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. McJEFF ^(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)

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: [1] & [2].--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.

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.

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

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

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. --  Rain Thalo  talk  contribs  edits  email  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. McJEFF ^(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. McJEFF ^(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)

Deleted--DarkLantern 06:24, January 12, 2010 (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)
