I prodded it a year ago with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline nor the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) supplementary essay. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar." It was deprodded by an editor (no ping, they are topic banned from deletions now) with no meaningful rationale (despite the fact that I explicitly asked for one in the PROD). The article hasn't improved since; it is a poorly referenced plot summary with a tiny listing of media apperances. A redirect to the work she appears in, The Sea Fairies (the story she debuted in), seems like the best outcome in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE I can think of (or perhaps List_of_Oz_characters_(created_by_Baum)#Trot is an even better target). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:48, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep or merge with List of Oz characters (created by Baum) in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE. --Rtkat3 (talk) 23:29, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to the character list if substantial sources are not brought up here. The article does not meet WP:GNG, so it doesn't need to exist as its own page at this time. TTN (talk) 14:26, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete or redirect to a character list. Does not meet WP:SIGCOV as there isn't enough coverage in appropriate sources. Jontesta (talk) 21:31, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to List of Oz characters (created by Baum)#Trot - She does not appear to have adequate sources to establish notability. Redirection would definitely be preferable over deletion, and while I don't personally think anything needs to be merged, the history will remain if others wish to.
