Dior Eluchíl

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fictional character from Tolkien who fails WP:GNG. There's just not really coverage in reliable sources about this figure. I'm not sure what would be a good redirect target for this figure, even. Hog Farm (talk) 01:43, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete To put it succinctly, this article is little more than a summary of Dior Eluchíl's role in Arda's in-universe history. His parents are among the few potentially notable characters in The Silmarillion. &#8213; Susmuffin Talk 04:15, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete. If such a wiki exists, this would be best placed on a wiki that is dedicated to Middle Earth and that universe. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 07:17, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete There are multiple Wikis about the works of Tolkien, and they have articles on Dior. I was going to nomiunate this article for deletion before someone beat me to it. To me the fact that this article dates back to Dec. 25, 2002 is particularly sad. The article of David O. McKay arguably the most important 20th-century leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints only dates back to the spring of 2004. I was searching for sources, I came across this which is no where near a reliable source, but it has way more real world relevance than this article does. I also came across a reddit discussion of weather Dior was the most underwhelming character in the Silmarillion (That would be hard to demonstrate, there are so many) which includes people asking why Elwing is not just the daughter of Beren and Lithian. To make things more fun, I recently read an indepth article comparing the fall of Troy to the fall of Gondolian (specifically comparing it to the works of Virgil), and in there the author said that Elwing was Beren and Lithian's daughter. So Dior is so forgetable he gets forgotten in scholarly works.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:46, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not notable enough for its own article, Tolkiencruft. Fans can read about him at https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/Dior etc. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 07:46, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
