Fails WP:NFICTION/WP:GNG/WP:PLOT. Stale merge discussion, one of the merge targets looks likely to be deleted as well,the other one is not really a suitable merge target anyway. Deproded by User:Andrew Davidson with unhelpful rationale, so we are here. Andrew, please tell us why you find this topic notable and meriting an AfD. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:50, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge them. ⭐ Ahmer Jamil Khan ^💬 05:24, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge what where? Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wizard (Middle-earth) is likely to be deleted anyway, and Radagast is a bad merge proposal idea, since his connection to this is very tangential. This article mentions him once in passing, what would you like to merge to his article? I can't think of anything that would be relevant there. To be even more clear, nothing I see suggest Radagast is a Blue Wizard himself. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:39, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • No, Radagast was not a Blue Wizard. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:27, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: these azure mages are completely not notable. They aren't mentioned in The Lord of the Rings, but are mentioned in The Unfinished Tales, a book of unfinished stories and essays that was published after Tolkien died. It is absurd that they are considered important enough to have an article.--Jack Upland (talk) 09:02, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Middle-earth peoples#Istari (Wizards) I suspect that this would be a common search term. ―Susmuffin ^Talk 22:40, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Middle-earth peoples#Istari (Wizards). Incidentally, I'm rather tired of editors who like to prod complaining about the lack of rationale for the removal of a prod. A prod can be removed by any editor for any reason or for none. It is an absolute right and getting stroppy because it's done should be avoided. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:27, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
