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 and the more detailed
Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) requirement.
WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar." It was deprodded by
User:Iridescent with the following rationale "I'm not comfortable considering uncontroversial the deletion of a page that's been live for 15 years and has that much of a history. This is a without-prejudice decline, feel free to AfD it.". Fair enough, let's do the trial by fire here. This hasn't improved to meet GNG/NFICTION in 15 years, but there is always a chance I missed some good sources. Can anyone find something to save this? Pretty please, no

Withdraw. Furher digging shows sourced I missed in the first pass, in particular
[1]. The subject is likely notable, despite the abysmally poor fancrufty state of the article. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|

For the record, I found it during my initial BEFORE, just missed the tab and found it few hours later. If I found it before I wouldn't have nominated it.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|

Merge per the above. There is definitely real world content on the character, but I can't really say if it's separate enough from the main work. It all seems more in line with the development and storylines of that series than the character itself.

Keep: "Merge" votes following the nominator's withdrawal seem overzealous and inappropriate to me. Piotrus has withdrawn the nomination. If other people think a merge is appropriate, then they should follow the proposed merge process. —

Keep There is plenty in the article about her appearances in things not related to Icon, so a merge would make no sense.

Speedy Keep. The nominator wishes to withdraw the AfD and acknowledges that the character meets GNG, so there is nothing further to discuss. A merge should not be considered in this particular discussion per comments by users Dream Focus and Toughpigs.

Keep as the book coverage above and in the AN discussion linked clearly meet GNG. Could it be merged with Icon? I suppose, but I don't really see how that benefits any readers when the character has been shown as notable. As a
WP:NOTPAPER encyclopedia, there is room for this page to keep things clearly delineated and easier to find information truly being sought. That said, I then propose a Move to
Rocket (DC Comics), which still follows the
WP:NCC conventions alongside Rocket Racoon per BD2412, and retargetting
Rocket (comics) →
Rocket (disambiguation)#Characters. -
