Another minor Lord Of The Rings character. Kind of amazing how much you can write about a character that opens a gate and watches a fight. Ridernyc (talk) 23:58, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Unlike most of the articles you've nominated in the last hour or so, this character at least appears and plays somewhat of a significant part in the narrative; while he's not a major character, he's much closer to it than individuals such as Wulf the Dunlending or Frumgar father of Fram.

Merge/Redirect to Bree (Middle-earth) along with Barliman Butterbur the bartender. Probably redirect. They're the only two humans of note in the town besides Aragorn. I also don't see why deletion is necessary when a redirect will do as fine and still allows the name to show up in categories (Category:Middle-earth Men).

Because it's non-notable, unreferenced and not likely to ever be a search term. Ridernyc (talk) 10:40, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's likely to be a search term because it's Tolkien. Uthanc (talk) 12:11, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

keep or at least merge substantially. Every named tolkien character with any role in the plot should be included. The work itself is adequate sourcing DGG ( talk ) 14:36, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Being a LotR character is not a reason to delete. The character is notable, being covered in numerous sources. Colonel Warden (talk) 22:15, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/Redirect: This character doesn't warrant their own article, belongs on a LOTR wiki. Ryan4314 (talk) 15:36, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
