but despite that there is no canonical version of this character and his deeds, all of our personal Silmarillions surely include him (or if not, why not), and there is little reason [so far that I'm aware of] to believe that Meadhros was going to become a very different character from what we see both in the constructed Silmarillion, and in the actual extant texts Tolkien left behind (from which the Silmarillion was constructed).
And it was considerations along those lines that led my to come up with the 10 classes of canonicity I posted above, ranging from Class I (Aragorn from youth bore the shards of Narsil, reforged as Anduril after the Council) to Class X (Elrond delivered the remade Sword of Dead-Commanding to Aragorn in Rohan).
