Gothmog (The First Age)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable fictional character. Fails WP:GNG due to only mentions in RS being in passing. An article about this character under the name Gothmog was merged into Balrog in 2008, so this article can just be deleted/soft delete and redirect since the content is already at Balrog thanks to that merge in '08.

 * Redirect to Balrog While Gothmog may be notable from an in-universe perspective, he is not from ours. &#8213; Susmuffin Talk 23:40, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Balrog per nom. A minor character in a minor work.--Jack Upland (talk) 00:16, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Balrog, if The Fall of Gondolin had ever been reworked in to a truly book length work with a truly developed plot, it might be otherwise, but contrary to what some believe we can not treat Tolkien's work on the level of mythology and assume mention there creates notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:32, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
