If you check the Wikia's List of Human SOULs, you'll see there is a citation needed for the red SOUL. No where in game are we told "Determination" is the red SOUL's key trait.

It's not canonical, it's just assumed.

Why does the red SOUL represent "Determination"? "Determination" is extracted from all of the human SOULs. Doesn't seem like a key trait to me. Can the other key traits get sucked out of human SOULs, too? Well, from what you say, it sounds heavily like an assumption.

To me, it's been pretty apparent (but not evident, I guess), that Red soul is pretty much associated with Determination. I did notice the citation needed, so I felt like I should ask Toby Fox about this XD

However, "Fate"? Maybe there's the events to support the assumption, but I actually have never came across the word "Fate" in the entire game of Undertale.

Furthermore, in the red flag, it also sounds like Red Soul is the unity of all 6 traits (which is very much canonical, given the text itself). Would "Fate" fit on that category?

'''From here, it's only my assumption so don't count on this yet. '''Determination may not fit either, but given from what you said (might as well what we could believe), determination is the key trait for the six humans as well. Wouldn't that mean Determination is a component within those 6 traits, thus the unity of the 6 traits?
