The article apparently fails WP:GNG because the third party works cited are too in universe. If this is the case this article has no reason to exist. GimliDotNet (Speak to me,Stuff I've done) 17:24, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge or Delete: It may be possible to preserve some of the content of this article in more all-encompassing articles, but I don't believe the sources currently presented establish that the subject is significant in its own right. If the sources do include discussion of the subject's significance out-of-universe, the article should be retooled to discuss that. In any case, as evidenced at the article's talk page, I would be happy to see the article improved to dispell my concerns. DonIago (talk) 17:29, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Dab page: This title apparently also refers to a LotR song, as well as an album. Some of the content could be merged to one of a host of LotR articles, but most likely should be sent to an appropriate Wikia wiki. At any rate, this article is very crufty, and is unlikely to be otherwise. Therefore, the article does not belong. —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 17:54, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. Seems notable enough to me. A significant site within one of the most influential franchises in the history of fantasy literature. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:43, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

- Those are exactly the kinds of sources that I don't think demonstrate notability. I'd be more interested in seeing sources which aren't already dedicated to discussing Middle Earth-related material. DonIago (talk) 12:51, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- That may make it an important topic in the Tolkien universe (and thus almost surely there should be a mention somewhere, and it should probably have an article on a Wikia wiki), but outside of the fiction, is there really anything? —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 13:45, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
