Prod was rejected with no reason given so moving to AFD.

This character is not notable, very minor character who appears in a few sentences of the Lord of the Rings, there's no attempt to discuss the importance of the character, or the Impact she's had outside the work. GimliDotNet^{(Speak to me,Stuff I've done)} 06:09, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment this vote was originally a redir to Samwise Gamgee. Google News archive or Google Books do not establish notability of this character IRL AadaamS (talk) 07:31, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment or merge to List of Hobbits. There are lots of articles on minor Middle-Earth characters which lack notability. Like Aredhel, Fingon, Aegnor, Hithlum and Halbarad etcetera. Should all be merged to "List of ..." aticles imho. AadaamS (talk) 07:49, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment there are dozens of crufty articles under the Middle-earth project that should be either merged into lists or deleted, I'm hoping if we get enough input on this afd that a consensus can be built and I can start moving stuff without the usual whataboutery GimliDotNet^{(Speak to me,Stuff I've done)} 07:56, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Hi GimliDotNet, perhaps this shall be the hour where we smite unworthy articles together. AadaamS (talk) 19:32, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Hi GimliDotNet and AadaamS, as a girl called Elanor (and LOTR fan), I don't see why this article is unworthy? Why the need to delete it? It is of interest, even if not to anyone but me, and I would say that the advantage of wikipedia over any printed encyclopedia is that it can contain articles on almost everything, whether it has made impact or not? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.227.5.112 (talk) 21:18, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Hi Elanor (151.227.5.112), wikipedia doesn't and can't have a standalone article on every subject, see WP:INDISCRIMINATE and WP:NOTEVERYTHING. The subject needs more notability to be a standalone article i.e. fulfill the WP:GNG criteria. AadaamS (talk) 22:19, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I was going to suggest a merge to List of Hobbits because the subject isn't notable enough to deserve a standalone article according to WP:GNG. Still, for EG to be included in that article anything writen must be WP:V verifiable. AadaamS (talk) 23:35, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to List of Hobbits. Makes the most sense as she only has a few lines about her here and there in LOTR. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:23, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to List of Hobbits. Not notable enough IRL to merit a standalone article. AadaamS (talk) 22:33, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
