No indication this character passes WP:NFICTION/WP:GNG. Pure WP:PLOT. BEFORE fails to show anything that's not a mention in passing/fictional bio summary. Prod removed by User:Necrothesp with unhelpful rationale, probably because nobody can even argue that this minor character is "significant" in any imaginable dimension. Pure inclusionism again results in time waste exercise at AfD... _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:35, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or Merge to Denethor. If you think your time is being wasted by starting AfDs then don't do it. Prodding is for pointless rubbish. This is not that. And anyone has the right to remove a prod for any reason or none. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:44, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Denethor, I suppose? She is pretty minor, in the grand scheme of things, as she does not even appear in the main text of the books, having been dead for some time before the LotR begins. Her only real importance is her role in Denethor's backstory, which is evidenced by the fact that most sources that actually discuss her are essentially brief mentions of her relationship with the steward, and how her death in the past affected his current outlook. As that information is currently already included in Denethor's article, a redirect there may be prudent, though it seems unlikely of a search term.

Delete — This character does not appear in The Lord of the Rings. She is simply mentioned as Denethor's deceased wife. No reason to have an article. I agree that it's unlikely as a search term.--Jack Upland (talk) 00:10, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the sourcing is all primary to the work. She is not even a character in the work, but a deceased person in the work who is very, very briefly mentioned. Nothing to at all rise to a level to justify having an article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:11, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails NFICTION/GNG. Pure PLOT. Necrothesp does not advance a valid AfD argument, waste of time. Kacper IV (talk) 09:37, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Minor character and not a likely search term. Fails WP:GNG Hog Farm (talk) 18:00, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
