this article about a fictional subject cites no secondary reliable sources WP:RS are required to WP:V verify its general notability per WP:GNG. The subject of the article may therefore be unsuitable for a standalone article as it may lack WP:SIGCOV in secondary sources. Some mentions appear to be trivial mentions rather than in-depth coverage of this fictional character. AadaamS (talk) 17:55, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Did you do WP:BEFORE? There are abundant articles in reliable sources, generally academic journals, at this Google Scholar search. Notability is determined by whether references form reliable sources exist, not whether they are cited in the current version of the article.

• Keep. Like Eastmain says, a clear candidate for improvement rather than deletion. I see that Eastmain has now done a lot of the required work. Alarichall (talk) 15:31, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as per the coverage in multiple academic sources identified above and the ongoing improvement of the article, regards Atlantic306 (talk) 21:31, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
