All that is gold does not glitter

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Short poem used as a plot element in a work of fiction. Aside for the titular line being used as a common quote, I can't find anything that demonstrates notability. Fails WP:GNG and isn't really an independent work of poetry, so the notability guidelines for poetry don't apply here. Hog Farm (talk) 20:04, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep. Halbared (talk) 11:07, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I respect your !vote, but could you please explain your rationale for keeping the article? Hog Farm (talk) 00:07, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Sure. I had to look this up a while back and this page helped me answer a question. I looked at the other page, it doesn't have the info this one does. It has enough information pertaining only to the Tolkien poem that it was an aid to me and should be kept in case others need a page for similar queries. Halbared (talk) 18:04, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Sounds like Merge the useful information into whatever article we're redirecting to. 79.65.232.207 (talk) 21:14, 2 January 2020 (UTC) — 79.65.232.207 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Delete poems are not inherently notable, especially when buried deep in a book. Repeating them does not change that.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:22, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
