As was said before, this is about what Tolkien wrote, not about a Tolkien-based RPG. He wrote other books except for TH and LOTR. In The Silmarillion it says that most Elves are allowed to reincarnate after their death, and quite a lot of them do.

The exceptions:

Feanor was not allowed to reincarnate as a punishment
Miriel (Finwe's first wife) didn't want to reincarnate (which is why Finwe chose to remarry)

There are probably others.
