[edit] Necessary?

Wow. Is this page necessary? I mean, come on, the Tolkien family tree extended so far? --WongFeiHung 02:15, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

This was originally a template, and nominated for deletion. The rough consensus of that debate was that the information was worth having, but that it made no sense to include the family tree in every article about a member of the Tolkein family. Therefore it was moved from being a family tree template template into being an article which includes a family tree. —dgies^t_c 02:44, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

I still think this is garbage. This article is absolutely pointless, trivial, useless. No one cares about the Tolkien family tree, no one knows who 3/4 of those people are --WongFeiHung 18:00, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

I find it interesting. I don't know why, but that's how it is. I don't know why, but I think I can't be the only one. HustonJMarble 22:31, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

I agree with Huston. Random note: Ruth Tolkien is apparently blind (and an excellent student)([1] - I'm assuming the girl mentioned is the same Ruth Tolkien, but the timing looks like it works out). The Jade Knight (talk) 22:40, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
