Like Leafa. I also don't see a single reliable source that talks about Yuuki, but mostly are passing mentions at game reviews. WP:BEFORE shows nothing at Google, but listicles/rankings + sources in the article regarding the merchandise featuring her doesn't discuss the character at all. GreenishPickle!

Merge Per nom, reception is pretty sparse, and is not inherited from notability of the work itself. GNG is not met here. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 18:03, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I consider that it should be maintained and improved because it leads to many reviews. 200.68.140.49 (talk) 07:56, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep – it is not the strongest but the sources do demonstrate that GNG is met. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 15:55, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of Sword Art Online characters#Yuuki where a section fully describing the character already exists. Discounting the numerous, obviously unreliable sources (there is a Reddit post being used as a source and described as a "critical response" for crying out loud), there is very little in the way of sources that discuss the character in what would be considered significant coverage. She is mentioned in general reviews/summaries of the series, but none of those go into much detail or analysis on her specifically that would allow her to pass the WP:GNG. As the article is poorly sourced in general, and the main character list already has a full description of the character, I don't really see the need for anything beyond a Redirect in this case.

Almost anything has reception. The problem is whether it is reliable or significant (it usually isn't). ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 00:42, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep one of the major characters of a notable publication, the reference covers the topic in-depth and not passing mention [1] --PeaceNT (talk) 02:46, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge If you squint really hard Kotaku might clear GNG on a technicality, but the source doesn't discuss the character, it simply regurgitates what the character did. No other source present in the article is sufficient. The only other source I can find that was halfway decent was [2], but it has less coverage than the Kotaku article and has the same problem. If someone can find WP:THREE sources I am more than happy to re-evaluate. —Sirdog (talk) 03:42, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Here is another link but in Spanish: https://areajugones.sport.es/anime/sword-art-online-asi-es-la-habitacion-del-mayor-fan-de-yuuki-konno/ 187.133.105.115 (talk) 06:08, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Reviewing that source using Google translate shows it's an article that showcases someone's room that has a lot of Yuuki/Sword Art Online merchandise. Power to the fan, but it is a far cry from anything complaint to demonstrate notability. —Sirdog (talk) 06:19, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Here is another source but still I agree to Keep: https://www.kotaku.com.au/2014/05/sword-art-onlines-fourth-arc-is-both-heartbreaking-and-beautiful/ . 187.133.105.115 (talk) 07:10, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I respect your opinion. It's not my intent to sway you. The Kotaku article I already addressed why I found it unsatisfactory in my initial comment. —Sirdog (talk) 07:14, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
https://techraptor.net/gaming/news/sword-art-online-last-recollection-strikes-us-in-feels-brings-yuuki-back and https://www.kotaku.com.au/?s=Asuna+Yuuki There are more sources but I prefer to leave it like this because my intention is not to convince you either. 187.133.105.115 (talk) 07:33, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

https://japantruly.com/es/nombres-japoneses-caracteres-arte-de-espada-en-linea/ This link may help. 187.133.105.115 (talk) 07:38, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge or Redirect. This afd was apparently being canvassed. After scrutinizing most of the sources, most were trivial. 2001:4455:613:5800:6479:7808:5E7C:7C86 (talk) 11:38, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
