Virtually the entire article is plot, so WP:NOTPLOT would apply. There are a couple of short articles in the development section, but only one is really about the character, the other is about the actors cast to play the character. Fails GNG. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 21:55, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect/Merge The PCGamer article is the only one with real WP:SIGCOV of this character. This MAY be sigcov, but I'm a bit doubtful it amounts to actual commentary of the character as opposed to the game itself. Otherwise, there is a great deal of trivial coverage and plot summary that violates WP:NOTINDISCRIMINATE. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 23:56, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/Redirect per Zxcvbnm. There is some coverage here. Not enough to support an article, but a merge would preserve what we have, and allow potential expansion later. Shooterwalker (talk) 01:28, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect/Merge to List of Assassin's Creed characters per Zxcvbnm. The coverage just isn't in-depth for this character to warrant its own article. Merging would preserve the salvageable material. The Night Watch (talk) 17:05, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - most AC protagonists have gotten their own pages, including one-offs like Edward and Bayek. Players have arguably spent more time with Eivor than all the other protagonists. I see no reason to dismiss her.Valkyrie Red (talk) 22:25, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS arguments hold no weight, since each person is evaluated independently. The other protagonists may not be notable either, since anyone can make an article about a video game character. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 23:05, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to List of Assassin's Creed characters per the reasons provided by the other editors. There is likely potential somewhere down the track, but we are not quite there yet in terms of extant sourcing. An article for the protagonist of Assassin's Creed III was also recently demerged by the same editor who created Eivor, after I merged it due to unsatisfactory sourcing, though I'm surprised that no one has quibbled about it yet.
