Talk:Princely Houses of the Númenórean Realms-in-Exile

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Middle-earth Wikiproject This article is within the scope of WikiProject Middle-earth, which aims to build an encyclopedic guide to J. R. R. Tolkien, his legendarium, and related topics. Please visit the project talk page for suggestions and ideas on how you can improve this and other articles.
Note: Though it states in the Guide to writing better articles that generally fictional articles should be written in present tense, all Tolkien legendarium-related articles that cover in-universe material must be written in past tense. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Middle-earth/Standards for more information about this and other article standards.

What is "The Collected works of Tolkien." I have never heard of it before. Was it a collection of Tolkiens work made by CT, or is it the work of a third party writer? --Bryan 17:48, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

I think it is being used as a catch-all phrase for all the books. Severe clean-up is needed here as the Nine Ships bit is speculation, and the title itself may be a neologism. Carcharoth (talk) 11:25, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Is there any sign whatever that "Princely Houses of the Númenórean Realms-in-Exile" is not just a figment of the creator of this article? Does Tolkien ever use such a term? Elphion (talk) 05:25, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

I think the term is a neologism (as I said above), and that most of the solid information here is already elsewhere. This one can probably go, maybe in favour of a better "overview" article, if such is needed. One of the problems is that in the last batch of merging, I never got round to tackling the numerous stubs on the Kings and Stewards of Gondor. See User:Carcharoth/Notes#More. Maybe wait a bit until that gets done, and then the overall structure will be clearer. Carcharoth (talk) 11:21, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
