Encyclopedia of Arda
Wikipedia is not a web directory. This is the same rationale under which Encyclopedia of arda was nominated. A mention of this page on one or more of Lord of the Rings or Middle earth should more than suffice. I really enjoy the Encyclopedia of Arda. I think it's a great resource. But we are not Google, and we shouldn't try to be. Nandesuka 12:16, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
 * This website does not seem to meet any of the criteria in WP:WEB. Very low page rank. No evident press coverage.  No forum and therefore no forum members.  Ergo, delete. -- Visviva 13:25, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Nothing there that justifies a separate article. Flowerparty talk 14:07, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete non-notable, albiet interesting, website. Possibly should be mentioned on an existing page about JJRT's works. DES 14:21, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:NOT a webdirectory, and this is nn anyway. -Splash 17:53, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, most notable Tolkienana website on the Internet. Google shows mentions of the encyclopedia from several different languages, with over 53,000 hits.  Yahoo counts over 83,000 hits.  I can't understand how anyone can call something this significant non-notable. unsigned vote by John Barleycorn. This is the user's 238th edit ;)  Fernando Rizo T/C 22:03, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I apologize for not signing the above. I guess being perplexed does that to me.  :)  John Barleycorn 19:00, August 1, 2005 (UTC)
