Talk:Dragons in Middle-earth

Am I missing something?
Why not "dragons in Middle-earth" to match similar articles about elements of Middle earth and for natural disambiguation? (t &#183; c)  buidhe  21:24, 17 October 2022 (UTC)


 * : Yes, that'd be better all round. An editor made an undiscussed mass move of numerous Middle-earth articles a few weeks ago from the Middle-earth to the (Tolkien) format. I suggest they all be moved back. Chiswick Chap (talk) 03:17, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Actually this seems quite clear; Middle-earth is a notable thing in the world (not just in-universe): that's what notability means, after all. Middle-earth is known to hundreds of millions of Tolkien readers, the billion-strong audience of Peter Jackson's six Middle-earth films, and the equally large audience for Amazon's Rings of Power TV series. In short, it must be one of the best-known concepts worldwide in the English language. For the record, I agree with Buidhe that "XYZ in Middle-earth" is clear and precise, and avoids the need for disambiguation. I've moved this one, there are others that also need attention; the disambiguating ones are the hardest. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:21, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Provided we allow enough wiggle-room to cover such characters as Chrysophylax Dives from Farmer Giles of Ham (as this article does), the elves (and a speaking tree) from Smith of Wootton Major, and the goblins from The Father Christmas Letters - none of which are part of Middle-earth - then I agree that Tolkien's writings are sufficiently distinguished by the Middle-earth brand. -- Verbarson talkedits 12:43, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
