 * Redirect to List of Middle-earth characters, surely.—S Marshall T/C 22:13, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Middle-earth characters as this is a plausible search term and redirects are cheap per WP:CHEAP. -- 00:10, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete No evidence of notability. Why redirect when there is nothing at the target?ZXCVBNM (TALK) 10:37, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Notability isn't required for a redirect. Virtually everything to do with Tolkien's legendarium is attractive to inexperienced editors, and it's unwise to offer them a redlink that encourages them to write an article; where that road potentially leads to is more wasted volunteer time on another AfD in future and yet another bruising experience for someone new to Wikipedia.  The redirect helps manage that risk.  Also, Mark Viking is correct when he says that this is a plausible search term; see section C4 of WP:BEFORE.—S Marshall T/C 11:40, 6 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete Not every trivial character needs to be mentioned in the LoC, and redirecting there with no additional info makes no sense. Before (re-)creating the article, editors will be greeted with a link to this AfD, which will (hopefully) discourage them to do so. – sgeureka t•c 09:58, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
