The article appears well referenced, but it seems that all that is referenced is the plot summary. There is no reception, analysis, nothing to suggested the character is notable. BEFORE finds only plot summaries and some comments about the book Artemis Fowl and the Opal Deception of which she is the protagonist. Per WP:ATD, I can suggested at best to soft delete this by redirecting this to List of Artemis Fowl characters. And if anyone cares, I think pretty much all fictional elements in Template:Artemis Fowl have major issues with GNG and, well, guess what we will probably be seeing in Fiction delsort over the next few months...

 * Agreed, we should only have articles on individual characters if people write about them independently of the book from which they're derived. At this time of year, Ebenezer Scrooge is a perfect example. He's out-grown the Christmas Carol, and Dickens, and people have written about him individually. Series like Artemis Fowl are very notable in themselves, but generate fan-cruft. This article is fan-cruft and should be redirected to the general list of characters.

 * Merge to the list of characters. There is a consensus that character lists can create combined notability in addition to the book itself. Archrogue (talk) 19:37, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
