 Gandalf - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
When Bilbo finds the One Ring, Gandalf is immediately suspicious of the Hobbit's story of evading the goblins through "being invisible." He privately confronts Bilbo and forces the truth out of him, and is deeply troubled by his story of the ring's powers, as they seem eerily familiar.
Gandalf interrogates the wretched creature and learns that Sauron had forced him to tell what he knew about the ring under torture, adding to his suspicions that Bilbo carried The One Ring.

Unknown to the Dwarves or Bilbo, Gandalf had joined the quest in order to investigate what he suspected to be Sauron's resurgence in Mirkwood; he frequently vanishes to "attend to other pressing business"—the nature of which he refuses to discuss.
He disappears when the company reaches Mirkwood, and does not reappear again until the Battle of Five Armies breaks out, when he brings an army of Eagles to help save the Dwarves and Bilbo.

I therefore agree with the view that church should be a disambiguation page.
It might direct readers to pages such as religious denomination, Christendom, ecclesia, places of worship, Christian religious architecture, etc. The last of these might be a good place to put the current architecturally-related material.
Also just my opinion: I think that Church should point to the disambiguation page, and that we are certainly lacking the entry on church as a body of worshippers.

 Wikipedia talk:Do not use subpages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anyway, for me, this is the least controversially positive advantage of subpages, because usually, when we speak of Gandalf, it's in relation to Frodo and Sauron, rather than in relation to a Wizard of Earthsea.
The problem seems to be that this is being treated as a disambiguation problem, but the standard rules of disabiguation can not be applied here.
Using the disambiguation option of ()'s is not ideal for multiple disambiguation.

It serves as a preface to The Lord of the Rings written later and sets the stage for that work.
The story, subtitled 'There and Back Again' follows the adventures of the hobbit Bilbo Baggins as he travels across the lands of Middle Earth with a band of dwarves and a wizard named Gandalf.
It may be read as a bildungsroman in which Bilbo matures from an initially insular, superficial, and rather useless person to one who is versatile, brave, self-sufficient, and relied-upon by others when they are in need of assistance.

Gandalf defeated a Balrog while the Fellowship of the Ring escaped Moria in The Lord of the Rings (specifically, in Book II, the second half of The Fellowship of the Ring).
Though these statements are open to interpretation, it is conjectured that Balrogs cannot be very large (clearly not as large as portrayed in Peter Jackson's movie) to fit through such an entrance.
For example, shortly before the Balrog's appearance, "Gandalf came flying down the steps and fell to the ground in the midst of the Company." Few would believe that Gandalf literally flew.
