This is a perfect example of something that belongs on Wikia or some other fan wiki. It has zero real world connection, presenting the massive timeline of a fictional world in way, way way more detail than is needed in an actual encycloppedia. John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:45, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

- Delete This article is a redundant content fork of a redundant content fork. ―Susmuffin Talk 14:41, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Delete As a redundant content fork. Also, while I don't have my copy of LOTR with me right now, I think somebody had better compare the timeline in the ROTK appendix to the timelines in this article. There's a chance, with the way some of this is worded, that it may be straight up copied. I don't think it's a large chance, but something that should probably be investigated if anyone has access to the ROTK appendixes. Hog Farm (talk) 18:38, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Delete WP:ALLPLOT. Its most important sentence is "The chronology underwent major revisions after the publication of The Lord of the Rings, in about 1958.", but it still seems rather trivial as a stand-alone sentence. – sgeureka t•c 21:59, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

- @Faolin42: I appreciate that you think this page should be kept. But this is a discussion, not a vote. Could you please explain your rational? Thanks, BenKuykendall (talk) 03:30, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
- Whoops! Didn't realize that. Since I mostly fix typos, I don't really have anything to add to the discussion. Faolin42 (talk) 04:49, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
