PRODed on 25 March, as the article does not meet
WP:BKD. DePRODed on 28 March with rationale "The character seems to have been discussed in a number of scholarly papers."
Comment why bring it to AfD if you're proposing a merge? That's typically discussed on the article's talk page. A quick scan of gscholar shows that the character's been discussed in scholarly works, so PROD is inappropriate, but a merge discussion sounds reasonable.

A redirect, not a merge.
WP:ATD-R, but as you contested the PROD, I thought it would be best to bring it to AFD first instead of afterwards.

If you're again proposing deleting the history, I object, but have no objection to a merge. The character is clearly notable, with coverage in
Serial Crime Fiction,
School Librarian, and
Clues. However it's hard to separate the series from its heroine, so it's not clear to me that we need articles on both.

I'll be honest, I'm now slightly confused as to the distinction between the two, so I won't comment further.

Merge is there is anything in the article on the character which is not already present in the article on the series; otherwise redirect: there is no point in having separate articles as the series is about the character, the character exists only in the series. In either case, keep appropriate categories on the redirect so that she as a character appears in appropriate listings. It is not helpful to say "The author of the series is "Grace Cavendish", a pseudonym for three female authors: Patricia Finney, Sara Vogler and Jan Burchett. ", as the three did not write together: each book is either by Finney or by the other two.
