Non-notable figure in works of Tolkien. Fails WP:GNG due to lack of coverage in reliable secondary sources. My BEFORE turned up a bunch of information from fan sites and some information about a band of the same name, which incidentally was also from unreliable sources.

Delete Ohtar is another Tolkienian character who is only notable from an in-universe perspective. ―Susmuffin ^Talk 23:35, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I don't think Ohtar is notable from any perspective. The only thing we know about him is that he carried the broken sword to Rivendell. This information comes from a fragment that was published after Tolkien's death [and a brief mention in The Silmarillion and the Lord of the Rings]. This answers a question no one asked.--Jack Upland (talk) 00:29, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The sourcing is just not there. He is not significant enough to the story to show up in LotR, and the stories he does show up in were not every worked to a place where they were really ready for publication. Until he shows up in LotR TV, he will not be notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:11, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
