Avathar

Is this Tolkien-cruft or is this two-sentence stub about a "dark strip of land" noteworthy and encyclopedic? --GRider\^talk 22:05, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Don't abuse VFD to make a point. Create something like Wikipedia:WikiProject Middle-earth as a child of Wikipedia:WikiProject Fictional Series if you wish to help remove the number of Middle-earth articles here in a productive way. Jordi·✆ 23:19, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Don't be too hard on GRider, at least he has the courage to nominate things that would certainly get deleted if they were from a minority field like Digimon or Oscar Wilde. ...Now to make this into a template and spam it all down the page... Kappa 01:48, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Middle-Earth-cruft. --Carnildo 00:09, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Instead of cluttering up vdf by voting on every single article, I'm going to vote Merge here, and say that it applies to all of the Tolkien articles GRider has nominated. Merge all locations to Middle earth and all characters to List of Middle-earth peoples. You know, it is possible to nominate one article as a test case for a group of articles.

  • Perhaps GRider is trying to find the lines between what should be merged, what should be kept, and what should be deleted. Merge or keep assuming it's Tolkien cruft as described. Kappa 01:43, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • This nomination is not correctly formed. Please read the instructions. Perhaps he can begin this quest to find these lines by making arguments to VfD instead of asking it questions. Chris 02:43, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, nn fancruft. ComCat 02:45, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Merge as minor concept. And people who nominate this should already know the answer from precedent, and be bold and just merge it rather than putting it on VfD. Radiant_* 09:31, Mar 19, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge as a minor concept. Looking at a number of these minor articles, they all seem to refer to each other anyway, so merging four paragraphs could well leave a two paragraph article at most. Average Earthman 12:14, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Ignore nomination as made made bad faith, otherwise keep or merge - SimonP 15:33, Mar 19, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, and expand. Megan1967 02:18, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Expand how? The contents of the article represent the sum total of all knowlege of the location. --Carnildo 06:52, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• No. Delete. Martg76 16:58, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
