Warg (Middle-earth)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No indication this fictional animal passes WP:NFICTION/WP:GNG. Pure WP:PLOT. BEFORE fails to show anything that's not a mention in passing/fictional bio summary. Deproded by User:Necrothesp with "significant race in Tolkien's work". Really? More so than spiders? (We can talk about eagles later...). Let's discuss.

 * Keep or Merge to Warg. As I said, significant creature in the works of one of the most notable authors in the English language. You really do like deleting stuff, don't you? Pity the "rules" mean that discussion is required if anyone demurs. Must be very frustrating. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:57, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Merge to Warg, with Rcats to section and with history on the Warg (Middle-earth) redirect page, per because of it's kind of crufty for a standalone article, its article length is very short, and it's not likely to have significant, reliable, independent source coverage for standalone notability.

 * Merge to Warg. The wargs are significant creatures in a significant work of fiction.  PROD is only for instances where deletion would be non-controversial, and I don't think the PROD was appropriate here. Hog Farm (talk) 16:38, 22 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Merge to Warg - The sourced content is not really sufficient to sustain an independent article, but being included in the main article on the mythological creature as a notable example of its appearance in fiction seems like a good idea. Rorshacma (talk) 16:51, 22 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Merge to Warg — We don't need two articles on wargs.--Jack Upland (talk) 23:52, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
 * , Well and nicely said. Concise, and to the point. : ) Doug Mehus T · C  00:10, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails NFICTION/GNG. Pure PLOT. Necrothesp does not advance a valid AfD argument. Kacper IV (talk) 09:40, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge to the general article on Wargs. I was expecting sourcing to something that was a scholarly analysis of the changes of the wargs in Tolkien's writing. In his 1920s work are they active allies. This is worth mentioning in the larger scope, but does not rise enough to be worth mentioning on its own.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:07, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
