Good effort, but not quite. You have five names correct, but you're missing one, and three of the ones you listed don't count. Reread my note in the question carefully and you'll see which ones those three are.

OK, removing Elendil, Isildur and Ciryandil (cause he was in Umbar, quite hard to rule Gondor from Harad) and add Anarion. I don't really think he should be counted though as he was never a supreme ruler, but always ruling with his brother. Elendil was the High King anyway
Maybe my use of "directly" was unclear. I meant that as "the direct ruler of Gondor", as opposed to a High King who may have authority over Gondor but is not the explicit King of Gondor. That half-sentence was meant to explicitly disqualify Elendil and Isildur, as both were High Kings of Arnor at the time of their deaths with separate Kings of Gondor ruling that kingdom directly (Isildur/Anarion and Meneldil, respectively). That's why Anarion does count; he was the (co-) King of Gondor who had direct authority over that kingdom, whereas Elendil only had authority over Gondor indirectly through his sons. I didn't mean "directly" as a measure of whether they were physically in Gondor when they were killed.
So, Mhaedros, what's your list at now? And are you actually including Earnur, or did you not really mean to? When I broke down what you had right and wrong, I thought you were including him (that's why the total of what I mentioned was 8).

OK, my final list:
Romendacil I, Ciryandil, Castamir the Usurper, Minardil, Ondoher and Anarion
If this is wrong I'm too tired to continue
Correct.
In addition to the ones we already discussed, Earnur also does not count because he is not unequivocally known to have died in battle (no one witnessed his death, and he may have simply been captured and then tortured to death later). Therefore, the list is restricted to the 6 you have.
Hope you're not too tired to ask a new question.
Sorry it took time
Who ruled the Kingdom of Rohan the longest and how long did he rule it?
Yup. Your turn
The Three Houses of the Edain [or what remained of them] went to Numenor along with the Druedain [who later left].
What was the name of the hypothetical Anglosaxon Mariner who found the Straight Road and visited Tol Eressea and brought back the stories on which Tolkien based the Silmarillion?
Aelfwine of Angol
Let’s keep enjoying kings and wizards. But also remember to keep them where they belong.
Where they can do little harm.
Where they entertain us.
In fantasies...
Correct! Your turn.
Ok here is a tough one.
What was the Pre-Numenorean name of Ithilien.

Ok give a few to ask the new question. I need to think about it
