*puts on scholarly spectacles*
Well, the "Later Quenta Silmarillion" (text given in HoME Vol X, "Morgoth's Ring", and otherwise very close to the published version) has a number of references to the three daughters of Finwë and Indis: Findis, Faniel and Irimë/Finvain/Lalwendë). I honestly can't work out what happened to them– this is whether Tolkien himself later revised them out of existence, or if Christopher Tolkien made an editorial decision to leave them out of the published Silmarillion– which I guess puts them in the same kind of semi-canonical limbo as, say, Elboron or Argon.
Anyway, looks like Wikipedia's "Project Middle-earth" suffers the same problem as many other "Tolkien Wikis" out there: too many people just making their own calls on what is, or isn't, "canon", without even acknowledging the issues involved... not to mention just plain getting stuff wrong.
CF article on Amrod/Amras: "For this reason wherever both Amrod and Amras appear in the published material it should be read as Amrod alone."
