Muzgash
Question: Encyclopedic? This subject receives 226 googles. Contrast and compare to Shagrat which returns over 47-thousand googles. Should all non-notable science-fiction and fantasy related material be kept and/or merged, while other similarly notable non-fiction subjects ultimately be deleted? Discuss amongst yourselves. --GRider\talk 20:27, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC) This page is now preserved as an archive of the debate and, like some other VfD subpages, is no longer 'live'. Subsequent comments on the issue, the deletion, or the decision-making process should be placed on the relevant 'live' pages. Please do not edit this page.
 * Merge with other minor characters unless there's more to be said. I don't have a copy of The Return of the King handy to check. &mdash;Korath (Talk) 20:56, Mar 11, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, cleanup and expand. Megan1967 23:47, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Expansion of this article is not possible. Muzgash's entire role in the LOTR trilogy is to appear in a single sentence as someone who was shot.  Delete this article. Arkyan 00:50, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Hm, worse than I'd thought. Yes, delete. &mdash;Korath (Talk) 01:19, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, LOTRcruft, no article here, I've read LOTR at least 4 times and this leaves me cold, move along... Wyss 01:56, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to discourage recreation. Do not merge unless perhaps someone feels like adding a (necessarily brief) "list of Orcs named by Tolkien". I am generally all in favor of Tolkien-related articles, but this is ridiculous. -Aranel (" Sarah ") 04:21, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect - I agree. - That list of Orcs actually exists in the form of the category Middle-earth Orcs.--Niels Ø 11:13, Mar 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. Collaboration of the week, maybe? I see featuring on the main page in this article's future! Everyking 09:22, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * (That was a joke, just in case anyone missed it&mdash;keep or merge.) Everyking 12:25, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not notable even within the realm of LoTR characters.  RickK 01:05, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to discourage recreation. And that template so has to go - David Gerard 15:43, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge &amp; redirect. —Markaci 2005-03-14 T 09:16 Z
 * Merge as minor character. I've added the {orcs} template to TFD. Radiant! 13:47, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * KEEP - Tolkien's orcs articles merit more development than the present wide spread use of journaling in Wikipedia to cover adult material. -- John Gohde 14:22, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, nn fancruft. ComCat 02:43, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
