Not the subject of multiple independant secondary sources as required by WP:NN and does not have any real world content as clarified by WP:FICT [[Guest9999 22:35, 18 August 2007 (UTC)]]Reply

The picture shows the Rohirrim not the men of Lake Town. It is a multicultural kingdom with people from all lands and with black, brown skin, etc., along with norse peope. It is important because it is the only kingdom like this that Tolkien writes about. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.33.208.179 (talk) 10:11, 30 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

reference to "capitalism" not fitting

edit

the reference to this "richard" man cannot be serious. his own page here read he is a right-wing climate denier. not some literature teacher. Yoandri Dominguez Garcia 02:04, 25 May 2020 (UTC). nevermind fiction articles so many ain't needed.

Assuming you mean Jay W. Richards in the first cite, he's published by Ignatius Press here, so it's not his weightiest work, but he's certainly not just some random guy.
I don't know that he's a climate change denier, but he is a creationist, so it would surprise me. Given the subject of the article -- a fictional town in The Hobbit -- we can't exactly expect in-depth coverage from peer-reviewed journals. This is certainly a reliable source for the subject. - SummerPhDv2.0 03:11, 25 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

EsgarothLake-town (Middle-earth) – Per COMMONNAME, as Lake-town is clearly the more well-known name for this topic. Devonian Wombat (talk) 23:54, 27 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Oppose: I do not favour this move, as "Esgaroth" is the most distinctive name, and the "grown-up" name used by Tolkien outside The Hobbit and (even) inside it. If editors consider a move necessary, I would suggest Tolkien's form "Lake-town". There are other places named "Lake Town" but none called "Lake-town" so the disambiguator "(Middle-earth)" is unnecessary. Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:40, 28 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
