I think we could merge the Species contents into a section there with a bulleted list (or even in prose), as there are several paragraphs here that are only a few sentences long, where we could explain how the leading characters are of different species. I know it is preferred much of the MCU-specific contents is on MCU-centric articles, although I see no issues in leaving some of the more overly specific details to comics articles or even the media articles themselves, other than having to update redirect locations. Including MCU adaptation details on the comics articles aids readers in easily accessing details on the specific species subject they are looking for, and not all species in the MCU are inherently notable for the encyclopedia.

Yeesh. That discussion seems to have gone all over the place. I'm not sure it's worth going down that road again anytime soon, but this article does not seem useful as a standalone article in its current form. With the changes that happened to the Characters article (wherein that became an overview),

2601:645:980:7a00:1d28:e6cb:4574:d736, please do not edit-war and explain your edits here. As I have explained, the article primarily refers to media produced by Marvel Studios, so Inhumans are not notable for their own section. Similarly, only one mutant has appeared in the MCU, so there is no need

side of things than to provide real-world context for its inclusion in the encyclopedia. This is more so something you'd expect to see and search for on a fandom wiki, and is a compilation of whichever species the main characters are whilst largely going unsourced given its plot-focused nature.

I'm having a hard time seeing what this article's purpose is. I see it was split off from the characters article, although the information here feels like they are all just bits from the comics articles' "In other media" sections and just an exhaustive list of plot details that lean more on the

There's no criteria for what a "main species" is, and frankly, I think this list is unneeded repetition of what can be covered at the comics articles. If there's anything that doesn't have an article, the MCU info can be moved to the relevant sections where they are, such as at

Nope nope nope, that's not a race, that's a nationality. Anything about Wakandans should go on Features, under "Wakanda". Species is fine, it's more accurate, and nothing is gained by changing it to races.

Shouldn't this be called "alien races" of the MCU? I don't think these are "species", but are more of alien races.
