I've done a lot of edits for MCU, some for Star Wars and Mass Effect / Dragon Age Series. I don't know if it is officially stated somewhere, but the unofficial rule is this: Step 1 All characters are initially lumped together on one page Step 2 If some character section gets too long, it is split off as a separate page.. Profit.
For MCU and Star Wars, I even did some statistics a while ago:

I'd say DCEU Mera is too short to qualify for a split.
PS There Is No Such Thing as Notability on TvTropes and it applies to characters as well. As far as I understand, whether it is a "film-only version" is irrelevant, the only thing to take into account is the length of the section or page.

My take was always that character pages are "as long as there are a decent-enough amount of tropes for them".
I agree that her page looks short enough to easily fit onto Characters.DCEU The Seven Seas.
Also agree on Mera - with a haader for the Knightmare timeline if necessary. Also the Knightmare page should be axed as is more of a link farm.
Also - look at The Joker and Lex Luthor

I'm confused. Any reason why characters like Mera got individual pages when there isn't much information. What's the line to be drawn for this. NOTE: The fact that there are alternate universes is not an excuse such as the Knightmare timeline to do this (Knightmare is a big link farm). Yea, there could be a fine line to draw. At the same time, there could be confusion about where an overall character's assignment is. One to be careful of is Swanwick/Manhunter (Listed in US Military as Swanwick for MoS and BvS but under Justice League (as Manhunter) for ZSJL
What is the rule for individual pages and indexing again?
