[edit] Doom of Mandos

Doom of Mandos (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

This article establishes no notability through reliable sources, and is just a repetition of part of the plot of the Silmarillion by JRR Tolkien. It is already mentioned in that article and does not need a whole article for a 3 sentence repetition. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 13:41, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Merge and redirect to somewhere, most probably Vala (Middle-earth) under Vala (Middle-earth)#Mandos. That way it can remain under Category:Middle-earth theology. Uthanc (talk) 01:13, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete. Blatant failure of WP:NOT#PLOT. Most of the article is direct quotation with other in-universe info to pad it. Additionally, this appears to be a non-notable aspect of the work which has not received significant coverage from reliable secondary sources. Doctorfluffy (i can has msg) 03:59, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
  • merge with suitable redirects which does not require afd. As a prominent named element in a very notable fiction it is worth the redirect. (Incidentally, has anyone actually checked the reliable sources on Tolkien to verify that it is not in fact commented on? That these articles are carelessly written does not mean then are unverifiable as notable. DGG (talk) 21:24, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
