This fictional substance has received no significant coverage in reliable secondary sources, which aren't enough to meet the WP:GNG. Even what few passing mentions that can be found are only WP:PLOT details, but Wikipedia articles are WP:NOT plot summaries, and we can't write an encyclopedic article without coverage of its real world significance.

Comment - I haven't looked into sources on the Mist specifically yet, but at the very least, it seems it would be appropriate to Redirect to Inhumans, where it is already covered a bit. Rorshacma (talk) 20:42, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Looking at the Google Books link, there appear to be 2 general Marvel Universe guidebooks, as well as a book on Agents of SHIELD season two which cover this in detail. Failing that, merging to the Inhumans article seems reasonable. Jclemens (talk) 03:41, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or Merge with Inhumans - There is at least enough coverage for a merge.

Keep per comments above or merge to Inhumans per WP:ATD and WP:PRESERVE. BOZ (talk) 03:30, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Inhumans (TV series). All sources presented above are just plot summaries, only one mentions the topic in the heading (the CBR one) and it is a low quality listicle. Redirect is the best WP:ATD here, and that's being generous - this is pure WP:FANCRUFT with zero analysis/reception/significance. Do ping me if better sources are found. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:32, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- You know is was a thing in the comics world and in Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as well, right? That's the problem with trying to pick a redirect target for a fictional element that has appeared in multiple notable fictional settings. Jclemens (talk) 01:06, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - The Terrigen Mist is primarily associated with the Inhumans. It appeared in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. because the Inhumans appeared in it. Dark knight 2149 05:47, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - I don't have strong feelings about a redirect target, and I think I intended to link to inhumans (comics) rather than Inhumans (TV series) anyway, so I am fine with that being the preferred target. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:49, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect or delete - The above are a bunch of plot explanation articles or trivial mentions with no commentary in sight, so they're useless. This fails WP:GNG. TTN (talk) 18:26, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect or merge in the interest of consensus, with most !votes mentioning one or the other option. I don't see any sources that provide anything more than trivial mentions or plot details, which means there isn't enough to meet the WP:GNG. But even some amount of primary material can be WP:PRESERVED in the context of another notable article (with inhumans (comics) being a logical choice with established notability), with an appropriate level of merging achieved through the editing process. Shooterwalker (talk) 20:13, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Inhumans: Fails notability. Sources in article are all primary and the content is OR / SYNTH / PLOT so there is nothing appropriate to merge. // Timothy :: talk 01:55, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge or redirect - there is some information here to WP:PRESERVE and it would fit nicely at the Inhumans article. Archrogue (talk) 00:25, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - the other option would be to merge since this either belongs in Inhumans or in a separate article, former approach seems best to me to avoid crowding. Artw (talk) 17:23, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
