Fictional race (nation, etc.). No evidence of stand-alone notability. Not a shred of analysis. Pure WP:PLOT and list of appearances in media. Fails WP:PLOT, WP:GNG, WP:NFICTION. BEFORE shows nothing that's not in passing or a plot summary. While it can be argued that a simple solution is to merge this to Easterlings, it is not clear that the target article is notable itself. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:46, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nominator. Not prominent in any of Tolkien's popular novels.--Jack Upland (talk) 01:46, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep I've just, somewhat sarcastically, referred to another of the Tolkien AfDs as "wasn't in the film / video game" is a telling criticism for WP's standards. And there we have it, someone actually using that as a reason for deletion. Are you aware that Tolkien wrote slightly more than just The Hobbit?

  • Are you aware that AfD are WP:NOTAVOTE and you are supposed to provide a valid rationale? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:53, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete The Simirilion is not a major work of literature. Even if they were this would not justify the truly in depth level you have to go to to find anything on this truly obscure topic. Nothing here is even remotely close to the level of notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:00, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete There are no reliable sources that discuss the Easterlings of the First Age. Furthermore, they are distinct from the Easterlings in The Lord of the Rings. This difference makes it impossible to properly merge the two articles. ―Susmuffin ^Talk 04:19, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Fictional. Not a shred of analysis. Pure PLOT. Fails GNG and NFICTION.Kacper IV (talk) 11:58, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
