The result was redirect to List of Middle-earth Elves#F. Consensus is that we don't have the basis for an article here.  Sandstein  09:15, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This fictional has no WP:RS reliable sources which WP:V its general notability per the WP:GNG and WP:NFICT. Thus this subject is an unsuitable topic for a standalone article. AadaamS (talk) 09:27, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as I see nowhere else to move this thus delete may be best for now, and none of this suggests solid independent notability. SwisterTwister talk 19:33, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as notable fictional character, also its best left as a stand alone article as a merge would be bulkyAtlantic306 (talk) 22:28, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • This character only has in-universe notability (no sources support real-world notability) and is already listed in List of Middle-earth Elves. Article size is no substitute for notability. AadaamS (talk) 17:23, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete or redirect. Without real world details to establish the information as relevant, there is no need for an article detailing the extensive biography of a fictional character. TTN (talk) 21:57, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to List of Middle-earth Elves#F (with the history preserved under the redirect). I agree that there are no sources about the subject to meet Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline. I recommend preserving the history under the redirect so that the redirect can be easily undone if sources are found and so that a selective merge to List of Middle-earth Elves#F can be considered.

• Redirect per Cunard. The character is not notable, but the the search term is a legitimate one, and should be directed to the legitimate content that we do have; namely, the list. Vanamonde93 (talk) 06:09, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
