This seems rather misleading to me, since the term in question is actually only indirectly mentioned within the linked section. Also, it will probably mislead in particular users seeking an article on the pertinent language (in analogy to Sindarin or Eldarin, for instance). Hildeoc (talk) 21:29, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
:: Retarget to Elvish languages (Middle-earth)Noldor, where it is discussed. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:28, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
:: BTW: there's no need to bring such redirects here if they're just not well targeted, we can discuss and retarget them directly on their talk pages (with a ping at WikiProject Middle-earth). The primary meaning of Noldorin is the language of the Noldor (elves); it seems to be uncertain whether "Noldorin" is also correctly the adjective for "pertaining to the Noldor", though it's sometimes used that way.

::: {{u|Chiswick Chap}} - Would you support a retarget to Noldor (which became an article again after your !vote), as that seems to be the most reasonable way to handle the ambiguity between the language and the group? Hog Farm Talk 07:24, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
:: Yes, ok, we can do that; it should be to a 'Noldor#Etymology' section which explains the different forms (Noldo/Noldor/Noldorin) and links to the language article. That needs a bit of rearrangement in the article. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:43, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
