Curufin

This fictional has no WP:RS reliable sources which WP:V verifies its general notability per the WP:GNG and WP:NFICT. Thus this subject is an unsuitable topic for a standalone article. This character only has in-universe notability as no sources support real-world notability. AadaamS (talk) 14:29, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Redirect to the most applicable character list. The article does not currently possess the means of establishing itself as a stand-alone topic. TTN (talk) 20:29, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 11:17, 23 April 2016 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. GScholar hits show significant attention to this character, as do GBook hits and popular commentary. There may be Tolkien cruft in need of pruning, but this cookie-cutter nomination with evidence of compliance with WP:BEFORE falls far, far short of making a credible case here. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by administrators since 2006.  (talk) 21:49, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect as still questionable for its own article. SwisterTwister   talk  06:06, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep per User:Hullaballoo Wolfowitz. -- RM 13:21, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Opinions above only assert the existence of relevant sources, but do not cite them, and therefore should be discounted. No indication in the article of the sort of third-party coverage required for notability. Contains only in-universe content, contrary to WP:WAF, another indication of non-notability.

 * Redirect to House of Finwë or perhaps to List of Middle-earth Elves. Basic facts of this character are obviously verifiable in primary and secondary refs, so per WP:PRESERVE and WP:ATD, deletion is inappropriate if there is a viable target. House of Finwë seems the best, as it gives the fictional family context. --Mark viking (talk) 17:24, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep per User:Hullaballoo Wolfowitz. --Fixuture (talk) 17:54, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - Plethora of sources available on both Books and Scholar (those were the only 2 I checked). Here are some of those from simply the first page of each: this; this; this; this; this; this; this; and this.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:57, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
