Keep - no copyright is involved here, as the map is my own work, nothing has been copied. This has been discussed before with that same conclusion. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:40, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's a map, meant to be a representation of particular relative locations. The arrangement of elements in maps representing places on Earth isn't copyrightable, and for precisely the same reasons it matters not whether the referent place is understood to "actually exist".

Keep. This map is not created by Tolkien. It's a depiction of fictional place made by a Commons user. Similar requests were already declined. Beaumain (talk) 07:23, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. per previous discussion: Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Maps of Middle-earth. I do not believe anything has changed in the last two years. -- Verbarson  talkedits 10:23, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
