Minor fictional gadget from the Marvel universe. The article is just the usual plot summary/list of appearances, with zero analysis/reception, and my BEFORE fails to find anything. WP:ATD-R/M to the List of Marvel Universe features, perhaps - it is listed there, with no description (guess we can copy the lead over there...). PS. AfD 10 years ago ended at keep, several sources were cited, but only one linked and described as solid: [1] - but I see only a plot summary there. Other stuff mentioned then seems even less relevant/reliable, or hard to identify :( _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:37, 7 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Fantastic Four For Dummies has a paragraph with two pieces of commentary: It appears as a deus ex machina and it is a "very weighty idea, the kind that science fiction was created to explore." The Supervillain Book, in addition to plot summary, lists it among the superweapons which "have taken on an infamy of their own" and compares the exchange of the Nullfier for Galactus' departure with God's oath to Noah, a piece of literary criticism equally applicable to our article here and Galactus. The Gizmondo article at least has a bit of commentary in decreeing and explaining why it's a good thing that the Nullifier does not get a proper explanation. (1000 Facts about Supervillains Vol. 1 has complementary commentary on that, but alas, is self-published.) Daranios (talk) 10:28, 7 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect/Merge to Galactus. There seems to be a bit of commentary on the subject but I'm not convinced it's independently notable of the wider topic of Galactus, which it seems to be heavily associated with in the sources provided.

Merge and redirect to Galactus per the above. It is a Galactus-themed item. BD2412 T 01:01, 8 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect/merge to Galactus - sources presented in the previous discussion were very weak or just a vague wave while others were WP:ILIKEIT. This does not seem to be standalone notable. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 03:55, 8 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or merge with the cosmic artifacts section of Features of the Marvel Universe in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE. --Rtkat3 (talk) 01:44, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/Redirect to Galactus. There seems to be a consensus and an WP:ATD. There can be a mention at other articles or lists too. Archrogue (talk) 18:33, 11 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
