Minor battles in The Lord of the Rings

[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Not a notable article nor list (per WP:LISTN)--which is even indicated by the title of the article. I redirected this list without merging based on a short discussion that sat undiscussed except by one other editor for 10 months. As soon as I did so, the edits were reverted--and the discussion which ensued showed no evidence the reverting editor understood policy or guideline on the point (reference Talk:Middle-earth wars and battles#Proposed merge with Minor battles in The Lord of the Rings).

I am happy to accept either a redirect, a delete and then redirect, or a straight delete, but what I am not happy to accept is letting a subpar article remain when there are at least two editors who believe it should be redirected. Izno (talk) 17:50, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is essentially just a plot summary of a bunch of unrelated, minor fights that occurred in the LotR books that were used to make this cobbled together article. There is nothing but plot here, and the only source being used is also being used to support nothing but more plot information. The various incidences covered in this article are either already covered in the plot sections in the articles of the appropriate books/movies, or are too unimportant to mention. A redirect wouldn't be particularly useful, as the title of the article was more or less made up for this article, and thus is not an especially useful search term. 64.183.45.226 (talk) 19:04, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - A redirect is not necessary since this is not a likely searchable term. There is no encyclopedic value to a list of minor events in the book/movie series.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 22:34, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
