Rivendell
- ... that the success of The Lord of the Rings during the war-troubled 1960s is often attributed to the peace of Rivendell? Source: "Rivendell's feeling of peace may have contributed to the popularity of The Lord of the Rings during the war-troubled 1960s." Rivendell
- ALT1:... that in the 2001 film The Fellowship of the Ring, the waterfalls in Rivendell were made with computer generated imagery? Source: https://www.newzealand.com/my/feature/kaitoke-regional-park/

| General: Article is new enough and long enough |

Policy compliance:
- Adequate sourcing:
- For ALT0, I don't see the sourcing of that specific fact, and for ALT1, the source does not appear to fully support the fact. - Neutral:
- Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
Hook eligibility:
- Cited:
- Interesting:
- Other problems: - For ALT0, I'd suggest tweaking the wording a bit to make it clearer what Rivendell is for anyone unfamiliar. Perhaps "...to the peace of the fictional Rivendell valley?" Also, I've added bolding as required by DYK style.
| QPQ: Done. |
Overall: 
Passed GA recently enough, QPQ done, overall article neutrality/copyright/etc. assumed to have been covered during GAN. Hooks are sufficiently interesting and probably the best available from the article; one other to consider might be ALT2: ... that in 1968, the inhabitants of a commune in Zealand, Denmark named themselves after the Rivendell valley from J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional world of Middle-earth? The main outstanding issue here is sourcing, which needs to be rectified for at least one ALT before this can move forward. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 07:06, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- Sdkb: (not sure what's happened to nom, so picking this up) The ALT2 citation is #18 and is in Danish; translated it reads "The collective consisted, among others, of the author Ebbe Reich and was distinguished by the fact that the members took the common surname Kløvedal from the book The Lord of the Rings." I've added both the Danish text and the translation to citation #18 in the article. Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:16, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
