Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gondor
Non-notable fictional location, fails . I have noticed in the last few days that most of the articles in :Category:Middle-earth locations contain no references to secondary sources, and many are entirely unreferenced. This article cites no references at all, although it implicitly cites Tolkein's own works, so I had tagged the article with {{tl|nn}} and {{tl|primarysources}}. Those tags were http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gondor&diff=167055275&oldid=167049057 removed on the grounds that "Christopher Tolkein's work is a secondary source". I believe that this is wrong: as the article Christopher Tolkien makes clear, he edited collections of his fathers' work, completing some unfinished material, but the valuable work of an editor is not a Wikipedia:No original research#Primary.2C_secondary.2C_and_tertiary_sources|secondary source. Per , "secondary sources draw on primary sources to make generalizations or interpretive, analytical, or synthetic claims". Posthumous editions of unpublished works, so not meet that test, whether or not the editor completes unfinished material.I should stress that I have nothing against Tolkien, and I know that his works have amassed a huge cult following even before the release of the blockbuster films. The original works and the films are clearly very notable, as are some major characters and other details but that doesn't mean that every detail of the works is also notable
