The result was SPEEDY KEEP per WP:SNOW. Probably an error on the part of the nominator. -GTBacchus(talk) 21:53, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Strong keep Arguably one of the most famous literary characters of the 20th century. I'm suggest a speedy closure as per WP:SNOW, especially since the nominator didn't provide any reason for the nomination. JdeJ (talk) 21:12, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment: Proded user on talk page to come back and provide rationale for deletion. Redfarmer (talk) 21:13, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Thanks! I'm still recommending a speedy closure, though, as this should be a quite obvious case of notability. JdeJ (talk) 21:16, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
      • Agreed, WP:SNOW. Unless they can come back really fast and provide a rationale that just blows our minds away, this one should be closed. Redfarmer (talk) 21:18, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep: WP:SNOW, WP:POINT. By the way, guys, if no rationale is given, saying it passes WP:N is kinda silly. What really matters is WP:V, WP:NOT, WP:NOR, WP:NPOV... you know, policies. There's really no reason to even bring up WP:N unless nom does. -- Masterzora (talk) 21:22, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Quite right, I agree completely. JdeJ (talk) 21:26, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
      • Keeping with WP:AGF, I'd go with this being an accidental nomination since the user did not add a header to the article page nor did they notify any contributors of the deletion. Also, they seem to be a member of Wikipedia:WikiProject Middle-earth, so they should already know this belongs here. Redfarmer (talk) 21:31, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
