PROD contested by User:DGG, stating that the character was significant and that it was possible sources could be found. Going through five pages of Google results locates nothing reliable about this figure. Google scholar turns up a reference in the "Artist's comments" referencing that Dunhere is pictured in a work used by Mythlore, a source that appears to be in Ukrainian titled "Відтворення авторської лексики штучних мов Дж. РР Толкіна в українських перекладах" that appears to reference Dunhere (I can't evaluate this source because I don't read Ukrainian), a source titled "Spell Checking the Lord of the Rings" that appears to be merely a list of names, a couple references to an unrelated Dunhere who is a character in the ancient poem The Battle of Maldon, and several uses of "dun" and "here" as separate words. Unless that Ukrainian source is incredible, I don't think this article can pass WP:GNG. Hog Farm (talk) 02:34, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Just to be clear, there are primary sources to support the content of the article: it is easy to find Dúnhere and his deeds in the texts of The Return of the King and I presume in Unfinished Tales. However, as the nominator's thorough WP:BEFORE check indicates, there is a dearth of coverage in secondary sources. Thus we cannot support the topic's notability. Note that as an alternative to deletion, we could redirect to List of Middle-earth characters. BenKuykendall (talk) 03:34, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, and I'm working on the same premise as I did with a previous AfD for Dior Eluchíl. there isn't much material to work with outside of primary sources, and it's best left in a wiki that focuses on Middle Earth. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 06:09, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: a very minor character.--Jack Upland (talk) 09:03, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. God knows how many times I've read LOTR, and I drew a complete blank on this character - that's how obscure he is - so I think we're done here. Clarityfiend (talk) 10:21, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Dúnhere is less notable than Eldarion is. ―Susmuffin ^Talk 16:35, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
