The result was keep. Consensus lean towards a keep after the newly found sources denoting notability. The article can be further expanded using those sources. (non-admin closure) The Herald (Benison) (talk) 18:03, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

None of these references meet WP:SIGCOV. Bare mentions are not enough to write an article, but these minuscule terms from mythology are verifiable and could be an ok redirect term. Jontesta (talk) 16:45, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

Delete No single most obvious place to redirect, but doesn't seem standalone notable and the hits I'm getting are mostly from God of War, not actual mythology. Better to let the search function do its job. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:11, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Weak keep I am satisfied by Daranios' sources to indicate there is a modicum of coverage. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 08:29, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

Redirect to Valkyrie, where she is mentioned several times, and add a redirect hatnote there to Hildr Hrólfsdóttir.Clarityfiend (talk) 23:41, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep per sources found by Daranios. Clarityfiend (talk) 13:42, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment There's quite a few pages on Hildr in sources like Kinship in Old Norse Myth and Legend, Monsters and the Monstrous in Medieval Northwest Europe and Sitzungsberichte der Philosophisch-Historischen Classe der Kaiserlichen Akademie der Wissenschaften. Any reason why these should not count towards notability here? Hildr also has its own entry in the Encyclopedia of Giants and Humanoids in Myth, Legend and Folklore, even if that is not overly long.

- Keep I believe the sources mentioned above can provide enough additional material to expand the article beyond the length of a stub and therefore fullfil the notability requirements. Daranios (talk) 14:46, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
