He hasn't got much noldorin blood, only like 25%

That doesn't really matter. Fingolfin himself was only half Noldorin. If you have the title then you have the title no matter what your blood mixture is.

If he chose to become King, he would be King of the Noldor only in name. He wouldn't have a people to rule. By the end of the Last Alliance, most of the Noldor in Middle-earth either perished or sailed West. The ones who were left generally were in Imladris, already under the rule of Elrond.

Well said, Finwe.

A thought that just occurred to me is that Earendil isn't dead, so he'd probably be held as High King

Well, if we are going to count elves who aren't even in Middle Earth then who knows who the high king of the Noldor is because remember, elves don't "die" the way we do. One of the other high kings (if not all) had probably left Mandos and was walking around Valinor during the third age.

If their had to be a Noldorin ruler wouldn't it be Galadriel? she after all, was more closely related to Finwe,
|
Nope, that doesn't matter. For example, Galadriel was more closely related to Finwe than Gil was, but Gil was definitely the high king wasn't he? The kingship stays in Fingolfin's house unless the heir waives his claim.
