The article literally had an AfD this year proving it wasn't notable, but I guess we have to do this a second time. The article's reception relies on particularly heavy WP:REFBOMBing, with one of the most content-full sources being a bachelor's thesis of dubious notability. The majority of others are listicle type articles or trivial mentions in reviews of the game itself. There have not been any new sources made apparent since the previous AfD that prove Soma is a notable character. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 11:06, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

- Keep - Upon review, Soma Cruz meets the criteria set forth by WP:GNG and WP:NFICTION with substantial coverage in reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. His character has been the focus of detailed discussions by game developers and in the gaming press, addressing his design, narrative role, and the broader impact on the Castlevania series. These discussions extend beyond routine game coverage, contributing to a broader understanding of his significance in video game history. The character's influence is recognized by industry professionals, who even further affirm his notability. The available sources provide a solid foundation for a standalone article, ala compliance with Misplaced Pages's verifiability and notability standards. Let games begin!
