Wikipedia is WP:NOTGENEALOGY, much less a fictional one. Clarityfiend (talk) 20:04, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete We already have a list of characters in Tolkien's legendarium. Furthermore, we should also delete our list of Elves in Middle-earth. ―Susmuffin ^Talk 21:52, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I do not find it encyclopedic to keep every minor character of Tolkienesque origin. Wm335td (talk) 22:17, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Many of these are very minor characters, some of them only mentioned in an Appendix.--Jack Upland (talk) 23:24, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: All of the exceptional figures are already listed at List of Middle-earth characters. Hog Farm (talk) 01:47, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete this is far too much detail on the subject, we should limit the lists to actual characters, not names appearing on fictional geneology tables and in appendices.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:16, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Better suited to a fandom Wiki, not Wikipedia. The only notable ones are Bilbo and Frodo, which are covered on the list of LOTR characters. Captain Eek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 02:13, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- So we can then expect you to nominate Sam Gamgee, Merraduc and Pippin for deletion in the next few days. I am not sure I would oppose such a move, but I know it would cause outrage in some circles the likes of which deletions on Barahir and Eldarion have not yet caused to rise.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:56, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
To continue Peregrin Took is notified as having to few sources. Should it even be under that name per common name rules or Pippin? It has only had notice for about 2 years, far below what has been on the article on Elrond. There is much work to do here, but I am unsure deletion is the work that needs to be done on characters who are given actual dialogue in the books. Although having dialogue in LotR is not a default sign of notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:58, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
