Talk:Aman (Tolkien)

message: It seems that the Tolkien-related definition of Aman is not the most notable. Shouldn't this be a disambiguation page instead? -- 75.143.96.101 22:31, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Aman is just the name of a son in a fictional story, and is of low importance.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.100.89.87 (talk) 00:04, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Alternative proposal — Looking closer, this would better be moved to Blessed Realm, since "Aman" translates from Valarin as "blessed" (WJ:339), and the two names are used in JRRT's writings with equal frequency. Súrendil (talk) 17:31, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Proposed merger of [[Eldamar]] with [[Aman]] 

message: Calacirya was proposed for deletion on 2009-12-13 16:19 for lack of WP:Notability. A merger with Eldamar had been proposed, but Eldamar has also been proposed for deletion. Perhaps its content should instead be merged here. Opinions, pro or con? Yappy2bhere (talk) 01:43, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Taking a closer look at these articles, I think the biggest problem might be that they're plot-only descriptions of fictional works. We'll need some information about reception, influences, or significance outside Tolkien's legendarium in order to keep them. I'm not opposed to merging (since they're related topics with short articles), but I don't think a merge on its own will fix context problems. --Explodicle (T/C) 15:44, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Do we need further information on them to simply merge, or can they be merged as-is? (I'm also noticing there don't seem to be many editors inclined to comment - perhaps just going ahead with a merge is the way forward.) Random name (talk) 14:36, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: As there hasn't been a lot of response so far I'm going to be bold and will merge Eldamar and Calacirya into Aman. De728631 (talk) 19:18, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

message: :
Eh? The Eldar truly call(ed) all of Aman "Valinor"? Why?  Or did this sentence intend to say something else? —Tamfang (talk) 08:22, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: my understanding is Aman includes all of the continent and Valinor sits behind the pelori GimliDotNet (talk) 07:54, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  true names 

message: Aman (Middle-earth) is not ideal, since Aman and Middle-earth are two distinct continents within Arda. —Tamfang (talk) 22:21, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: (Middle-earth) is used as a dissambiguator throughout Tolkien articles and it's not a very good one. It should be (Tolkien) or something. But that's a bigger discussion. GimliDotNet (talk) 07:54, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  WP:D doesn't mandate perfect consistency in disambiguating tags (if the tag is incongruous it's against WP:NC), and there was no prejudice shown in the previous move request against using something else, so let's try "Tolkien" then. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 17:05, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
