The result was redirect to
Asgard (comics). The Gnome makes a strong argument why a merge would be inappropriate. There's two different possible redirect targets mentioned here;
List of Marvel Comics characters and
Asgard (comics). The later is the more often mentioned one, so I'm going with that. --

Redirect/Merge to
List of Marvel Comics characters: I. The article contains only in-universe plot information, and the only references being used are the comics she appeared in. I have been unable to find anything that would indicate any sort of real world notability.

@
Penguin7812: - please familiarize yourself with
WP:GNG, Wikipedia criteria for inclusion is different than Marvel Wiki, where all of these characters already exist in far more fleshed out form. Trying to shoehorn those types of pages into Wikipedia will just result in failure, as most Marvel character pages are there simply because nobody wanted to expend the trouble of AfD nominating them all.ZXCVBNM (

Delete Redirecting it to a list that is only sourced to comic books will just ensure it gets deleted by G8 when that entire list is nominated for deletion as fancruft. So, delete for failing GNG and save the trouble.ZXCVBNM (

Be sure to ping me when that nomination happens.

Keep or merge to
Asgard (comics). No need to delete when merge is a valid option.

Redirect/merge to any of the suggested targets due to the lack of any sourcing that is not in-universe. signed, Rosguilltalk 19:02, 13 August 2019 (UTC)reply
Redirect to
Asgard (comics), which provides sufficient information on the character. The character list mentioned in the nomination is not meant to be exhaustive and Idunn does not meet
my criteria for an entry on that list (only linked inline by 13 articles when templates are discounted).

Redirect to
Asgard (comics) seems like the best option to me. It is a viable search term, though I do not think it has enough coverage for an independent article. The character is already covered in the redirect target so anyone interested in learning more would be good. I think a redirect would be a better option than deletion.

Question since the user who restored this article has now been blocked indefinitely as a sock, and all articles they created have been deleted, should this article be reverted to a redirect and the AFD speedy closed, since the user should never have created/recreated this article in the first place?

I'm seeing consensus for a different target article. I'd let this play out.
