Were there also falas 🧝elves and cirdan nirnaeth arnoediad?

An official on the tolkiengateway site told me that the falas elves and cirdan's participation in the nirnaeth arnoediad were subsequently removed from the silmarillion and canon. Is that true? what are you thinking? Did the falas elves and cirdan nirnaeth arnoediad also fight?

The Elves of the Falas are noted in Christopher Tolkien's constructed Silmarillion (which is not canon in my opinion, but that aside for now) -- as they are indeed noted in Tolkien's Quenta Silmarillion (HME V) for example, and The Grey Annals (HME XI) as well.

"For there all the Noldor of Hithlum were assembled, together with Elves of the Falas and Gwindor's company from Nargothrond . . ." The Silmarillion, Of The Fifth Battle: Nirnaeth Arnoediad

[Círdan is not specifically named as being present, unless I missed some mention here.]

what are you thinking?

I'm thinking about having a bowl of Cheerios.

I think if there are falas elves, there is definitely cirdan. Why would cirdan send his falas elves alone?
