[edit] Amdír

Amdír (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

This stub about an obscure Tolkien character can never be expanded into an article (except by orignal research or speculation). ➥the Epopt 23:16, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep I feel that this article is worthwhile, yes, edits need to be made 100%, but lets try to make it worthwhile first. Someone is going to need to do some necessary edits, probably myself, but if its me I need some help to get the format right because I haven't done such edits previously. So besides that this article needs to be grouped with articles with similar content -- the creator never tried to put it under the right categories or cite the sources.

  • Merge to whatever the source is or just Delete as non-notable fancruft. Xtifr tälk 00:05, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge to List of Tolkien characters or an article like it. Otherwise, delete. I don't see why minor characters should have articles... Major characters getting articles sometimes worries me. :) ---J.S (T/C) 00:50, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment Well there isn't a large article about minor Tolkien characters AFAIK and the link you used didn't point me there -- but maybe there is one. I still feel that the LOTR universe is covered fairly fully and I just want to make sure this info gets put somewhere useful. And as i said before in Talk:Amdir I need help with a possible rewrite and sourcing. MrMacMan 00:54, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
      • It might be worth having one. The Tolken universe is very well known. ---J.S (T/C) 01:04, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
        • Can someone, as I don't know proper procedure, contact the WP:Me project? It is worth noting that there are so many catagories that this article falls under and the possibility to expand does exist. MrMacMan 01:09, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge to List of Middle-earth characters per WP:FICT -- Chondrite 21:29, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment Have I improved it enough? I've added it to the list, anymore stuff? MrMacMan 22:06, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - uh, there is already a duplicate article named Amdír - note diacritic. I'd move the info here (more complete) there. List of Middle-earth characters does not contain info, only names. I say Merge with the non-existent article List of Grey Elves, a sublist of List of Middle-earth Elves, which a project member has proposed - [1] but we haven't gotten around to it yet. Please bear with us and wait. Uthanc 22:40, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment Geez, how did i miss that... wow. Anyway why can't this be included in the categories i had listed until the proper ones are made. I thought I looked at WP:Me section and such. Thanks for the clear sameness I couldn't find. (er this comment is mine, sorry for late signing of name) MrMacMan 03:25, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
      • The project category is for project subpages; Category:Characters in The Lord of the Rings is, well, wrong. He only appears in Unfinished Tales so perhaps we need a category there. I moved the updated content of Amdir to Amdír and made the former a redirect. Keep for now, but Merge, eventually... It's now out-of-universe. Started the general Elves list. Uthanc 08:58, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep for now, merge later - There are thousands of characters in Tolkien's Middle-earth stories and articles in Wikipedia on hundreds of them. We are slowly cleaning up and consolidating this mess into sub-lists of reasonable size with just the major characters having separate articles (as opposed to something like 'Pokemon' or 'Harry Potter' where every character has an article). --CBD 22:22, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
