This character is not notable, very minor character who appears in a few sentences of the Lord of the Rings, there's no attempt to discuss the importance of the character, or the Impact she's had outside the work. GimliDotNet(Speak to me,Stuff I've done) 06:09, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment this vote was originally a redir to Samwise Gamgee. Google News archive or Google Books do not establish notability of this character IRL AadaamS (talk) 07:31, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment or merge to List of Hobbits. There are lots of articles on minor Middle-Earth characters which lack notability. Like Aredhel, Fingon, Aegnor, Hithlum and Halbarad etcetera. Should all be merged to "List of ..." aticles imho. AadaamS (talk) 07:49, 22 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment there are dozens of crufty articles under the Middle-earth project that should be either merged into lists or deleted, I'm hoping if we get enough input on this afd that a consensus can be built and I can start moving stuff without the usual whataboutery GimliDotNet(Speak to me,Stuff I've done) 07:56, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment Hi GimliDotNet, perhaps this shall be the hour where we smite unworthy articles together. AadaamS (talk) 19:32, 22 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment Hi GimliDotNet and AadaamS, as a girl called Elanor (and LOTR fan), I don't see why this article is unworthy? Why the need to delete it? It is of interest, even if not to anyone but me, and I would say that the advantage of wikipedia over any printed encyclopedia is that it can contain articles on almost everything, whether it has made impact or not?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.227.5.112 (talk) 21:18, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment Hi Elanor (151.227.5.112), wikipedia doesn't and can't have a standalone article on every subject, see WP:INDISCRIMINATE and WP:NOTEVERYTHING. The subject needs more notability to be a standalone article i.e. fulfill the WP:GNG criteria. AadaamS (talk) 22:19, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment I was going to suggest a merge to List of Hobbits because the subject isn't notable enough to deserve a standalone article according to WP:GNG. Still, for EG to be included in that article anything writen must be WP:V verifiable. AadaamS (talk) 23:35, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Merge to List of Hobbits. Makes the most sense as she only has a few lines about her here and there in LOTR. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:23, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of Hobbits. Not notable enough IRL to merit a standalone article. AadaamS (talk) 22:33, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
