As left at article talk page: Reviewed under Wikipedia's new article curation / review process
Thanks for your work on this article. As a part of Wikipedia's new article review / curation process I just reviewed the article.
In my opinion, this topic, to the extent visible in the article does not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines which is a requirement for existence of a separate article on topic. This guideline is described at WP:Notability (there are no applicable SNG's for fictional characters) The core element of wp:notability is that there are some independent published sources which covered the topic of the article in depth. Of the three references given, at two there is no relevant material at all, and the third appears to be a story itself from folklore that contains this character. And without coverage, there is no sourcable material for a full article. I will be nominating the article for deletion so that the community may decide. I believe that the two sentences which this article consists of would be good to have somewhere in Wikipedia. Probably the best place is in the Manipuri mythology article which in Wikipedia terms means "Merge to Manipuri mythology. If a close on the AFD is headed towards this, and somebody pings me I'd be happy to copy/move that material. I also note that this article has previously been deleted.

- Merge to List of creatures in Meitei folklore – There is some secondary coverage in English sources [1] [2] regarding the stepmother narrative from a social science perspective, but it's fairly minor and doesn't allow us to expand this article any further. The other contributions of this author (now blocked on his new accounts) will also need scrutiny, most are sourced to blogs. – Thjarkur (talk) 20:32, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
