Aduial[edit]
Even a hard-core Tolkien fan like me doesn't want to see a bunch of entries for semi-unimportant Elvish words. →Iñgōlemo← talk 03:00, 2005 May 19 (UTC)
- Transwiki to the Elvish Wiktionary (not to be confused with the Elvis Wiktionary). -- BD2412 talk 03:04, 2005 May 19 (UTC)
- There is no Elvish Wiktionary. But now that you mention it... →Iñgōlemo← talk 03:48, 2005 May 19 (UTC)
- The "English" Wiktionary's goal is actually to encompass all languages (even fictional ones I'm sure), so this would be a valid entry. But, I hasten to point out, this has already been transwikied, just like it says on the talk and history pages. Check next time. In any case, why can't we just redirect to Middle-earth? --Dmcdevit 04:07, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I did check. I Vfd-ed it because it had been transwikied (just forgot to mention that). As to redirecting to Middle-earth, what's the point. If I came across a redirect like that, I would nominate the redirect for deletion. →Iñgōlemo← talk 05:48, 2005 May 19 (UTC)
- I was referring to the voters for "transwiki". But anyway, redirects are cheap, and there's no need to waste effort deleting the unless they are hurtful. What if some Tolkien die-hard searched for this term? What's the harm in redirecting them to Middle-earth, which is, in fact, what the word means in Elvish. --Dmcdevit 06:30, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Transwiki to English Wiktionary (since the entry is written in English). Eric119 03:57, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect and lock entry to stop "cruft" --Simon Cursitor 07:46, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete/speedy -- now duplicate material. As for stopping the cruft, we're way, way, way too late for that when it comes to Tolkeinland. We can still stem the tide of neo-Hitchhiker's Guide and Star Wars-revivus, but the Middle Earthlings have already devastated the crops. Geogre 11:03, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, this is a dictdef of a word in a made-up language. Really bad precedent if we started keeping every word in Elvish, Klingon, et. al. RickK 21:22, May 19, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Wikipedia is not a dictionary, and this isn't even useful as a dictionary entry: it doesn't specify which Elvish language it's part of -- Tolkein created at least a dozen! --Carnildo 21:41, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
