Bellakar
This stub reads as follows: ''Bellakar is a fictional location from J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth. It is a large area south of Umbar, an ally of Gondor.'' Does this stub illustrate enough notability for even a redirect? How cheap are they, exactly? --GRider\talk 22:27, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)


 * Don't abuse VFD to make a point. Create something like WikiProject Middle-earth as a child of WikiProject Fictional Series if you wish to help remove the number of Middle-earth articles here in a productive way. Jordi·✆ 23:19, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete. Middle-Earth-cruft. Probable fabrication. --Carnildo 00:11, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * WP:POINT. See also: Votes for deletion/Google test. —Korath (Talk) 02:03, Mar 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge or keep. Redirects are essentially free. Kappa 02:04, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * This nomination is not correctly formed. Please read the instructions. Chris 02:42, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong delete. nn, less than 10 google hits. ComCat 02:58, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete not notable on its own... barely a mention in the books... nuke it  ALKIVAR ™[[Image:Radioactive.svg|18px|]] 03:26, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge as minor concept. And people who nominate this should already know the answer from precedent, and be bold and just merge it rather than putting it on VfD. Radiant_* 09:36, Mar 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge. Such geographical concepts mentioned in passing cannot be expanded on (since the original author only wrote a short description, and will not expand on it on account of the dead not being the most prolific of authors). But since it's Tolkein, merging them all into a decent length article is warranted. Average Earthman 12:18, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Ignore nomination as made made bad faith, otherwise keep or merge - SimonP 15:33, Mar 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, and expand. Megan1967 02:21, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Expand how? The article contains more information on this location than any Tolkein work I am aware of.


 * Comment: Upon further research, I believe that the article is either a fabrication or only appears in fan works. No mention of the location is made in the Encyclopedia of Arda, the most complete online Tolkein reference, and a Google search only shows hits for a Middle-Earth role-playing game. --Carnildo 06:49, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * The Encyclopedia of Arda excludes the entire History of Middle-earth series of books for whatever reason, from where this reference comes. Jordi·✆ 12:03, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Ignore. WP:POINT. Jayjg (talk) 19:57, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
