Doesn't seem to meet the notability requirements for websites. Found two sources, one from Vulture [1] which is actually about one of the website's founders, and only mentions the site in a tangential way. The Daily Dot produced a decent writeup, but more is needed to demonstrate a notability pass. For what it's worth, the most recent Alexa ranking figure in the article ranks it below 32,000.

Merge to Tolkien fandom#Online fandom, where it is already has a bit of coverage. The sources currently in the article do not really make the case for notability - the one independent news source does not even mention the site by name. I also concur with Hog Farm's analysis of the two sources they found during their WP:BEFORE. However, while I do agree that the coverage is not enough to sustain an independent article, I think it is enough that the coverage of the site in the corresponding section in the article on the fandom could be expanded, and have this article redirect there.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

merge per above. It's well-known in Tolkien and movie fandom circles but hardly needs its own article. Mangoe (talk) 03:38, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Summarize and merge not a notable article in of itself, but has a few mentions in reliable sources, and a valid redirect target. Jontesta (talk) 23:31, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
