I can find little coverage of this language constructed by Tolkien. Most of what I found was either very brief mentions or plot summaries (or about a Spanish-language children's TV show with Telerin in the title). The concept is explained at Elvish languages (Middle-earth), so a redirect to there could be helpful. In comparison, Teleri, the Elves who spoke this language, is also a redirect (albeit to a different article).

• Delete not enough secondary source coverage to justify an article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:14, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Elvish languages (Middle-earth). A very plausible search term, but not enough notability to warrant a standalone article. Sulfurboy (talk) 02:53, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to Elvish languages (Middle-earth). It is small, we could merge it. Make it a new section. TuorEladar (talk) 14:21, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Elvish languages (Middle-earth) § Internal history I cannot find any reliable coverage of this fictional language. I would also advise against merging, as the article has no reliable sources. There is nothing worth saving here. ―Susmuffin ^Talk 12:06, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
