I feel like that this disambiguation is more confusing than it was before from the perspective of the reader. --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 11:16, 27 June 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Proposal

I don’t believe that this disambiguation page needs to exist. The Host of the West in the War of the Ring is the most recognizable Host of the West since people usually read The Lord of the Rings before The Silmarillion or The Lord of the Rings appendices. The capitalized term “Army of the West” isn’t found anywhere in The Lord of the Rings while the capitalized term Host of the West is found in The Lord of the Rings. I believe the "Army of the West" page should move to Host of the West because that is the name that appears in the narrative of The Lord of the Rings. The capitalized term "Host of the West" doesn’t appear in The Silmarillion in relation to the Host of Valinor.

As far as I can see, the capitalized term is only applicable to the Host of the West led by the Captains of the West and the Host of the West in Arnor. I believe only a disambig link on those two pages is necessary unless a broader Host (disambiguation) page is created, which I believe should be created regardless of the result of this proposal.Dour1234 (talk) 21:56, 2 February 2025 (UTC)Reply[reply]
