Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Realms of Arda
Note: I am a Tolkien fan and a member of ikiProject Middle-earth, which BTW should have been informed of the nomination.) Simple lists like this are inappropriate in case of fictional topics, especially with Tolkien's works: a) simple links to separate articles are useless, considering that most of them are candidates for merging; b) many of the notes currently attached to entries tend to drift into OR, and this cannot be emended without whole passages of annotation; c) as mentioned above, the list mixes up realms, regions and nations; d) ''possibly'' some appropriate replacement will be created in future, if ever some "Geography of Middle-earth" will be created (as a merge target for articles that do not deserve separate pages and at the same time do not suit "Minor places in ..."); e) as a link farm, it is mostly edited for updates after page moves etc.; f) finally, the page has been virtually replaced by :Category:Middle-earth realms and by Template:Arda Realms Age1, Template:Arda Realms Age2, Template:Arda Realms Age3
