Sooo... this was deleted back in March 2020 for lack of notability and WP:ONEEVENT concerns, with a caveat that the character may become notable in the future. Now it's back, using sources that get no more recent than... February 2020. And with not a tick of development in the notability department as far as I can tell. I wonder what the reasoning here is? All the arguments from the last discussion still apply, and I guess so should the conclusion. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 19:59, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- I'll vote Keep since I voted that way in the first AFD, and my opinion hasn't really changed. I thought the article had sufficient coverage in reliable independent secondary sources to establish notability, and since notability is not temporary, I obviously feel the same way now. In fact, I was surprised that AFD ended with a Delete result, since it was pretty clear to me from the discourse that it was a No Consensus at best. That being said, I haven't been active on Wikipedia recently and I haven't edited this page since before that first AFD. — Hunter Kahn 01:55, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- I think this article should be merged to any of the articles listed by the user above or be deleted, because the character in the present is not notable enough to have her own article, the character is new and not completely developed yet and there is not enough information about her that can be sourced and be put into an article (example: powers and abilities publication history etc) and i think it's better to see if she will remain since it is possible that the character will not appear again in future comics lol! - Greasy mech (talk) 14:22, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect or delete. The character still lacks sufficient sourcing after over a year, so it still doesn't need an article. TTN (talk) 20:33, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- Merge to List of Batman family enemies - The sourcing has really not improved since the last deletion discussion a year and a half ago, so the subject still does not warrant an independent article. The little bit of sourcing that does exist probably does justify her being included on the main list, though, and as she is not currently there, a quick, light merge would be appropriate.
