Non-notable piece of fictional technology/fantasy. A WP:BEFORE didn't come up with much of note in the way of secondary sources. It could potentially be merged to Mother Box. _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 16:37, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

Delete or merge - No reason to have this as a separate article. Merger with Mother Box could be a solution, and so could using the content to create a sub-section on the Wormholes in fiction page. PraiseVivec (talk) 17:34, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

• Redirect to New Gods. The topic is not independently notable, and does not have any reliable, secondary sources discussing it in any way that would pass the WP:GNG, but it is a plausible search term, and as they are discussed briefly on the main article on the New Gods, redirecting there makes sense. I would argue against a merge/redirect to Mother Box, as that article has similar notability issues. Rorshacma (talk) 22:28, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
