Merges
Yule (Middle-earth) has been merged here. I'm putting the AfD record here:

Lithe should also be merged. Carcharoth 14:28, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

run that by me again?

 * Jim Allan suggests that Tolkien used the French Republican Calendar as an inspiration since this one was based on earlier unrecorded Germanic month names.

Does "this one" mean 'the latter' (as in French)? How can it be asserted that the French names (or Tolkien's names for that matter) were based on unrecorded Germanic names?

What exactly did Allan write? —Tamfang (talk) 13:05, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Wiktionary link
In the section 'External links', we're invited to look up 'middle-earth calendar' in Wiktionary. However there is no such article. This does not surprise me, as 'middle-earth calendar' is not a word. And irrespective of whether it's a word or phrase, it's not one that I'm aware that has any currency in general English.203.6.146.5 (talk) 08:51, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

Merge to History of Arda
(pinging the "merge" voters from the AfD, though others do chime in!). The consensus was for a (partial?) merge to History of Arda. There's a ton here that's not in the scope of History of Arda. I'm not certain what to do. Does someone else want to carry out the merge, or just have opinions on which sections should of this article should be merged where?

 * Yes, the article is more of a "List of Middle-earth calendars" than a coherent object. The individual sections can perhaps be merged to Shire (Middle-earth), Rivendell, Númenór, and Dwarf (Middle-earth) respectively. I've had a go at doing that. Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:15, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
