Ayalais
Hello. Where are you getting this information about 'Ayalais'? Contrary to what you say in the article no such name appears anywhere in the 'History of Middle-earth' volumes, the name doesn't use Quenya or Sindarin structure (or roots), and aspects of her described 'history' contradict elements of Tolkien's stories. Is this from a fan-site or 'Tolkien based' game? --CBDunkerson 12:20, 22 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Followup - A comment has been added to the article stating that Tolkien wrote about Ayalais, but that the story has now been lost. Even supposing that is true, the text being "lost" means that it could never be verified under Wikipedia's policies. Wikipedia is meant to be an encyclopedia... which means that every detail in it should be verifiable against primary sources. If this is a 'lost story of Tolkien' then there are no references that the reader can check to verify what has been written about it. That means someone is inevitably going to come along and delete this article eventually. --CBDunkerson 17:48, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
