Half a year ago I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline requirement nor the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) supplementary essay. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar." It was deprodded by User:Andrew Davidson without any detailed rationale. A merge was suggested by User:BOZ to List of Marvel Comics characters: D but declined few months ago by User:Rtkat3 on technical grounds (edit summary: "No merge discussion was made for this."). I would be fine with merge, but since it was declined, I think we need to discuss the future of this article here (and there is the added problem of this article relying solely on primary references to the comic books, so there is no independently referenced content to merge). If this is deleted, I would suggest a soft delete by simply redirecting this to the list suggested by BOZ. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:22, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to List of Marvel Comics characters: D per above notes, per WP:ATD and WP:PRESERVE. BOZ (talk) 12:59, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per BOZ. I'm persuaded that there isn't sufficient coverage to meet WP:N, and would support deletion. But hoping there is a valid merge target to WP:PRESERVE. Shooterwalker (talk) 18:02, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or merge with List of Marvel Comics characters: D in the style of WP:PRESERVE. --Rtkat3 (talk) 20:36, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Rtkat3, Would you mind clarifying your rationale for the keep part? _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:30, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - While she has been part of different groups, there were some issues where she acted on her own and did not have lesser appearances. As I mentioned for the merge part, I would support @BOZ:'s style of WP:PRESERVE. --Rtkat3 (talk) 20:35, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Selective Merge to List of Marvel Comics characters: D, the article is sourced solely to primary sources, and I could not find any better ones, meaning this character fails WP:GNG. Devonian Wombat (talk) 22:33, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
