*'''Merge''' to [[Sun and Moon (Middle-earth)]], per Uthanc (some of the material is already there). By itself, there is not enough here to sustain an article, so merging is the logical choice. In future, if prods in this area are contested, please consider leaving a note at the WikiProject talk page ([[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Middle-earth]]). We are currently tidying up a lot of other areas, but should have time to deal with individual articles without needing a full five-day discussion at AfD.

**Note that {{user|Chardish}} appears to have responded to the above by [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sun_and_Moon_%28Middle-earth%29&diff=171450984&oldid=171450975 placing a prod tag] on [[Sun and Moon (Middle-earth)]]. I understand that people so want to raise their concerns, but there are less aggressive ways to do so. Please consider discussing things before placing prod tags, and please consider discussing before responding to a removed prod tag with an AfD nomination. Taken to its logical conclusion, you will end up placing a prod tag on [[Middle-earth]]. A balance has to be struck, yes, but there is room in Wikipedia (even taking notability into account) for more than just [[J. R. R. Tolkien]] and [[Middle-earth]] and [[The Lord of the Rings]]. Disrupting ongoing clean-up work is not the best way to find the right balance of sourced and well-written articles. [[User:Carcharoth|Carcharoth]] 16:08, 14 November 2007 (UTC) |
Revision as of 16:08, 14 November 2007
Man in the Moon (Middle-earth)
- Man in the Moon (Middle-earth) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)
Contested prod. This is an article about a fictionalized character within a fictional setting, with no secondary sources and no claim to real-world notability. Powers T 03:28, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep: Notable; Wikipedia is not supposed to be a bureaucracy; Wikipedia is not paper; and people not wanting to read this article are usually not forced to read it, the article is found by being linked to in one way or another or by being typed in a URL or search engine. It's not like this article is being being inconvenient or anything. Is it adding extra poundage to a book or something?--Neverpitch 03:46, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete No sources, no claim of real world notability. TJ Spyke 04:13, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. Per nom and TJ Spyke. Ravenna1961 04:17, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. --- tqbf 04:26, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete: Per above (notability especially). - Rjd0060 04:40, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete, purely in-universe and lacking notability outside of Tolkien's work. - Chardish 05:29, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete: Non notable -- ¿Amar៛Talk to me/My edits 09:19, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
- Merge to Sun and Moon (Middle-earth). By itself it may not be that important, but if it's covered in an article which discusses the Sun and the Moon in Tolkien's writings, fine. Uthanc 12:41, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
