No indication this fictional character passes WP:GNG/WP:NFICTION. Pure WP:PLOT. Deprodded by User:Necrothesp with rationale "significant figure in Tolkien's works". WP:BEFORE fails to show any in-depth analysis or anything that goes beyond in-univere PLOT summary. Is mentioned in J.R.R. Tolkien Encyclopedia: Scholarship and Critical Assessment in several entries but does not have its own entry. I don't think we should have a separate entry on this level of minute in-universe entity either. Thoughts? PS. Looking at Template:Ainur many other similar entities have been just redirected and so can this one be (redirect target: Vala_(Middle-earth)).Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 02:32, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep or Merge to Vala (Middle-earth). Given the Valar's significance in the works of the world's most respected fantasy author I think it's reasonable to retain the information. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:06, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Vala (Middle-earth), for the reasoning provided by nom, but unless and until the Vala article also goes, it should redirect to where the key content is already present (I don't think a wider merge is warranted by the sourcing quality).
