Article reception primarily focused on discussing a fictional character in the sense of a gameplay element from the game they originated in. No indication that their gameplay gave them notability outside of the game itself, nor proper discussion of the character to provide SIGCOV. Attempting to find sources that were not about gameplay ended up fruitless as well.

Very weak keep I'm seeing far less SIGCOV than initially assumed in the first deletion discussion, but I still think there are enough sources buried in there to squeak (lol) past notability. Specifically, I am looking at
PC Gamer,
IGN and
Polygon, all of which have decent commentary about the character and their gameplay's implications in competitive play. There's a "making of" article on
PCGamesN that isn't entirely interview. I still think the case is rather weak since the character themselves has little in the way of development, but there was definitely a flurry of coverage when he was introduced.

Keep SIGCOV shown through the expanded development section. Reception is important but not the only way a video game character can be notable. --

Withdraw While I disagree about the dev info giving notability, consensus seems to be to give the little guy a chance so I'm not going to draw this out. I am going to tag that reception section for expansion though.--
