Deletion of Middle-earth cosmology

Comment: at first it doesn't appear to pass  but it is a valid list of names in the fiction. It would do much better to go about removing articles these link to because they fail to be major characters or major places, rather than to start at deletion of a list

Comment: Per above. I think some of the confusion the opposers have with Tolkien's fiction is that they want interpretive references as opposed to the historical references (i.e. the Christopher Tolkien refs). There aren't that many interpretational references out there because Tolkien emphatically states his work was not alegory. As a constructed history (of incredible impact), Tolkien's work deserves |special consideration in relation to the drawing of sources from his son and the work itself. If this was a real historical or astronomical article, we wouldn't be having this discussion

Comment: Article does not appear to be "original research", but rather is a reindexing of verifiable information, apparently including good referencing.   does not seem to apply, as it is neither a personal essay or an original analysis of the material by the article's author.   is likewise met, as everything appears to be verified and sourced, and the article is not intended to introduce new, original ideas, or do any of the other things listed under the bullet points of "What is Excluded". Indexing collections of referenced information is normally acceptable

Comment: the nominator points to #7 at #INDISCRIMINATE, which says to avoid plot summaries. This article is not a plot summary. It should end up being an article that describes, using reliable sources, what the author said the names meant, what language they are, and where they are mentioned in Tolkien's works. Its notability comes directly from the notability of the article Middle-earth, which it should be considered a subarticle of (the Middle-earth article is too long for this to go there). It can also be considered a subarticle of Elvish languages
