Non-notable character. Should be deleted or merged. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:14, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to The Children of Húrin. While some parallels to the Kalevala have been observed in Lalaith, the character is not notable enough for a standalone article. De728631 (talk) 15:09, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Merging would be a good option if it didn't make the main article too long. VMS Mosaic (talk) 04:18, 12 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- That is based in policy how? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:23, 12 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - I believe WP:TOOLONG. I suspect the ultimate goal is to delete/merge a lot of the individual character articles. If they are merged into The Children of Húrin, that article would become far too long by any reasonable definition. Just trying to look at the big picture. If that is not considered being policy based, then I guess I'd have to go with Merge. Unfortunately, given the fate of such list articles under this process, I could not support merging the more minor characters into a separate List of XXXX article even though that is probably the best option.

Comment -- The article is somewhat slim, but not amenable to expansion. The solution is such cases is sometimes to have a single article or characters or minor characters, with a paragraph on each. If there were such an article, this one might be merged there. On the other hand, this article is rather more than just a description of the character.
