Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Persephone (The Matrix) (2nd nomination)
It appears this character is discussed a great deal in various scholarly works. https://academic.oup.com/screen/article-abstract/47/2/233/1647692 This article by Catherine Constable, the full text of which https://archive.org/stream/Screen_Volume_47_Issue_2/Screen_Volume_47_Issue_2_djvu.txt can be found here, describes Persephone's desire for pure sensation as demonstrative of a kind of existential authenticity, and discusses the similarities and differences between the Matrix character and the Eurydice|Eurydice of Greek mythology. This https://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=ETf0her6UDgC&oi=fnd&pg=PA14&dq=Persephone+%22the+matrix%22&ots=PK6UOgNKTy&sig=BW_Duv-OCXTF-XKhaR84EuDlBXw#v=onepage&q=Persephone%20%22the%20matrix%22&f=false chapter by Martina Lipp discusses how Persephone is in some ways a powerful character, but is limited in other ways due to her gender. https://www.jstor.org/stable/44030393?seq=1 This article by Dana Dragunoiu, of which I am still attempting to find the full text, addresses how Persephone discredits claims of utilitarianism made by other characters in the films (according to the portion visible in the Google Scholar search). https://books.google.com/books?id=bGi9FB3uEXkC&pg=PA79&dq=Persephone+matrix&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi1pLrc2dPnAhXqlOAKHeoOAYoQ6AEwAHoECAMQAg#v=onepage&q=Persephone%20matrix&f=false This book presents the character as an example of a "contrary position to causality/determinism" in the Matrix, and how "although love registers as a positivity, it is never guaranteed, and always subject to change". These are just a few examples I found with some brief searching, in addition to the expected news stories you can find about her casting and performance in the films. I think these help establish she has received sufficient coverage in reliable sources, meets , and that this article has great potential for future expansion
