After doing a WP:BEFORE check, I was unable to find any reliable sources. The AFD from 7 years ago was kept because of the few sources within the article, most of which are passing mentions or sources that cannot contribute to notability. QuicoleJR (talk) 18:20, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to parent game Shovel Knight, or weak keep for the Reception section's sourcing alone (better-quality refs may be needed). --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 18:50, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to Shovel Knight - minor character with only trivial mentions. I had proposed a merge last year, but it was contested and closed as no consensus. I still feel the same way about its notability. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 18:58, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge reviewers have occasionally tipped hats to her clever toying with tropes but I don’t honestly see why we need a whole article on this character even if there are more sources because there’s not a whole lot here to say. Dronebogus (talk) 06:36, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge per nom. OceanHok (talk) 13:59, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge with Shovel Knight. The content can be added to a new section Characters or be a part/sub-section of Plot. --Mann Mann (talk) 03:17, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
