In universe Gil-galad is of course very impoortant, the last High King of the Elves and the leader of the Last Alliance of Elves and Men. The problem is that Tolkien did not write books about that Last Allicance, but about events 3000 years later. The article comes close to quoting all the LotR texts that mention Gil-galad. This is not enough to show notability, and the extensive third party sources are not there. The upcomming LotR TV show may come to show Gil-galad enough to make him notable, but until that day he is not notable. John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:00, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
- Redirect to Elrond. The article is sourced to primary sources and an 'essay' that contains nothing but in-universe information and a brief section on how Christopher Tolkien was in a rush when compiling the Silmarillion. Consequently, it fails WP:GNG Devonian Wombat (talk) 00:32, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

- Redirect to Noldor#Second and Third Ages. I can find some Google scholar hits for Gil-galad, but nothing substantial enough to build an article out of. Noldor#Second and Third Ages describes the basics about Gil-galad: High King of the Elves, who died fighting Sauron at the end of the Second Age. Hog Farm (talk) 04:52, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

- Redirect to Noldor#Second and Third Ages I cannot find anything other than a handful of plot summaries. ―Susmuffin 11:19, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
