Deletion of Finwë

Comment: to either House of Finwe or The Silmarillion.  This is coming from a Tolkien fan too.  I agree with Crisco, where a lot of more important characters in their respective works do not have their own article, but it's obviously .  Finwe, while important to the history of Middle Earth, is not important in the real world.  Most third party are really only referencing the work, and many have admitted that Finwe is only mentioned in passing.  The only really valid source is The J. R. R. Tolkien Companion and Guide, mentioned previously.  Because of this reference, merge is a possible option instead of a delete
