::::::I feel that the linguistic editing of names, in which I'm often involved, calls for keeping articles on such names for which there is an etymology, evolution, or likewise. Such things would clutter up a main article for a concept which has many names in different languages. Another thing to consider is if such specialized linguistic info should be a part of TG or not, or if we should strive to be more focused on "events"; but since Tolkien ''was'' a linguist, and since his whole legendarium perhaps can be said to have evolved from linguistic invention, I think we shouldn't try to move linguistics away from TG.--[[User:Morgan|Morgan]] 17:14, 19 June 2011 (UTC) | ::::::I feel that the linguistic editing of names, in which I'm often involved, calls for keeping articles on such names for which there is an etymology, evolution, or likewise.

Could use some help
I am wanting to merge Moria and Khazad-dum together, but I need your opinions and help remodeling this page. --Dwarf Lord 13:09, 9 April 2008 (EDT)
Move
Why can't we move this to Moria? Surely the primary name of the place. --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 13:20, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
- I wouldn't mind.--Morgan 14:28, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
- If we keep Khazad-dûm as an article about the name Khazad-dûm, I'm in favour of that. --Amroth 14:56, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
- But have we really decided to make redirects of all "name"-articles? Isn't the consensus more to remove everything but lingustic information from such name-articles?
