The Following Poll is to decide to leave the references in the Ainulindalë of Rúmil and Pengoloð in our text.
The advantage that I see is:

1. that leaving them will make our text less prone to editing and deleting of JRRT's intentions.

2. Rúmil and Pengoloð do not contradict the later notions the way that Ælfwine or Eriol does.

The disavdantage is:

1. In the Published Silmarillion, i don't recall any mention of either Rúmil or Pengoloð in it.

I'm sure that Aiwnedil or someone else can bring up other ideas as to why keep or get rid of them.
