The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant English-language coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. The article was deprodded without a rationale, despite specifically being asked for. Sigh. Here we go. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:44, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to A Witch Shall be Born, the story she originated from. Searching for sources largely just bring up plot summaries - either for this novella or for Conan the Destroyer, a film in which one of the villains shares a name, but virtually nothing else, with the novella's character. I found one paper that has a couple of paragraphs discussing the movie incarnation of the character, here, but there is not a whole lot there, and it is the only source I can find that really goes beyond simple plot summary or name dropping. The current article is nothing but a nearly indecipherable plot summary of a comic adaptation of the novella and a shortened version of the plot summary that already exists at the Conan the Destroyer article, and there are no sources being used that discuss the character herself. So, merging would not be appropriate in this case. But, Redirecting to the article on the novella, which itself discusses and links to the article on the film, would make sense for navigational purposes.

Redirect to A Witch Shall be Born. There does not appear to be enough coverage on the character to meet the significant requirements of WP:GNG, but there is a viable redirect target and this is a viable search term so it would be more helpful to guide any readers looking for this character to the novella page.
