Non-notable LOTR figure. Only scholarly coverage is brief mentions and plot summaries. Will get some Google results, but more for a political group in The Netherlands than for the character. Fails WP:GNG. Hog Farm (talk) 18:07, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

:*Comment I don't why the link to the AfD daily log is redlinked (I used Twinkle) but clicking on the redlink did work. Could an expert in this area please look into what's going on so this can get properly transcluded?

Delete This obscure character is not even the most notable entity with this name. ―Susmuffin ^Talk 18:37, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete not all named characters are notable. He is not even a fully developed character, and there is nothing in the secondary sources showing major impact.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:27, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - This fails to establish notability. TTN (talk) 00:55, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Minor character.--Jack Upland (talk) 08:59, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I wonder if anyone coined the phrase Tolkiencruft before... --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:07, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've staked my claim at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Manthor. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:22, 11 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into a new List of The Lord of the Rings characters. As usual, deletion of information which can be merged elsewhere benefits nobody. The reason such a list does not exist already is that all these were created as separate articles. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:59, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The List of Middle-earth characters has been revamped to include a short description for each figure. I don't know if there's enough about Silmarillion figures to warrant separate lists of Middle-earth in general and LOTR. Hog Farm (talk) 19:39, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Tolkiencruft. Piotrus-lol. Minor character not notable. Wm335td (talk) 19:58, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
