Grimbold

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Minor figure in the works of Tolkien. Basically no coverage in secondary sources. He fails GNG miserably. Hog Farm (talk) 01:06, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete Grimbold is another example of a non-notable character whose article has persisted for longer than some editors have been alive. &#8213; Susmuffin Talk 01:25, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete This was actually not created until late 2005, which is more recent than many LotR articles. It is also a clear example of confusing in universe importantce with literary importance. If LotR purported to be a history of a real place, maybe on that evidence we would keep this article. However, it does not. So the reports on him in the books are primary sources, and his role is very minor, to the literary functions of the book. We have a huge way to go to get these fictional biographies under control, but this is not even a close contest.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:31, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
