I cut this text because of a dead link:

This site (dead link) exists to tell Canon apart from fanon, a fairly tricky task since the canon for that particular fandom is notoriously shifty — what with J.R.R Tolkien constantly revising his ideas — and The Film of the Book can't help either.

The article claims that Gil-Galad couldn't be king as a son of Orodreth. What exactly is the reasoning for such a claim? I can't see one, since everything I know about the Noldor inheritance points towards it being possible. OTOH, the main argument against Fingon as the father is pretty serious: the published version makes in unclear how Turgon even got the title ahead of his nephew. Can someone explain, plase?
