[edit] The Tolkien Forum

No assertion of notability. If evidence of such notability exists, this deletion discussion ought to drum it up; if it doesn't, we should delete the article. Masamage 22:01, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. I think this could have been speedied under the new G11 version of A7. In any event, I get an Alexa ranking of 799,201[1] and a google link search returns zero hits [2]. Does not appear to meet WP:WEB.--Fuhghettaboutit 22:36, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Wow, I think you're right. I'd feel weird speedying anything that's been on WP longer than I have, though. :) --Masamage 22:54, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I really don't think this is speediable though. This would be a really liberal interpretation of G11. Irongargoyle 06:32, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

I agree. I meant the addition of websites to a7--Fuhghettaboutit 12:21, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per Irongargoyle Percy Snoodle 12:52, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:WEB. I believe the article's claim that it has become "one of the most popular destinations for Tolkien fans on the internet" is an assertion of notability (even if it's false), and so I've declined the speedy per WP:CSD#A7. I'm okay with another admin overturning my decision, though. -- Merope ^Talk 13:40, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
