Could this name be related to the folkloric Norwegian king Saemingr? Nagelfar (talk) 09:10, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The text of this article seems plagerized in part from chapter 26 of this book: link —¿philoserf? (talk) 13:23, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Philoserf It looks like the book has copied from us without attribution: the original text in Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mistilteinn&oldid=102118756) is from 2007, and that book is from 2015. I've seen this a few times in Lulu.com published books, but it looks like the content in this article is fine. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:40, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In Honkai Impact 3rd there is an enemy class called Mystletainn. Plz research and add a reference if possible 77.45.168.100 (talk) 14:08, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In Kirby's Return to Dreamland Deluxe, Magolor's Epilouge, there is a song called "Mistilteinn, Tree Crown Without a Ruler" referencing how either, the boss in the battle is a parasite, like a mistletoe, the exact translation of Mistilteinn, or it's the name of the sword Magolor uses. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:2C4:4382:58B0:5104:127D:4BE9:7EA3 (talk) 02:45, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Blockhaj: I just want to emphasize that no content was lost by the merge. Readers will see the exact same information whether this is a section or a separate article. I'm not opposed to recreating this article, but only if it's expanded and sourced so that it isn't a permanent stub. You write "it makes no sense to chuck it into a listing article" but that isn't true. We routinely, elsewhere, have notable topics that only have a small amount that can be written on them merged into list articles. See meta:Mergism, this isn't new.

There is an antipattern in Wikipedia's coverage of Norse mythology back from when the articles were made early of having separate articles for every random named weapon, river, hall of the Aesir, etc. So if you point to other examples of tiny perma-stubs, then yes, I believe you they exist, but that's an artifact of the early contributors back in 2004-2010, some of whom liked that style. It's not a preferred style nowadays when there's a relevant larger topic to be merged to.

Do you have a plan to expand this article? SnowFire (talk) 14:55, 25 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Im against mergism in this manner. I can expand the article but i wouldnt call it a stub. ᛒᛚᚮᚴᚴᚼᛆᛁ ᛭ 𝔅𝔩𝔬𝔠𝔨𝔥𝔞𝔧 12:13, 26 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I'm happy to discuss a merge but "I'm against mergism in this manner" doesn't give a lot to work with on substance. Note that we have just 175 words of this article if we exclude the paragraph on the famous-but-unnamed Loki / Hodr mistletoe darts, which is sort of a separate topic than Hromundr's sword. That is indeed a perma-stub to me, and something better covered as a section of a list. Frankly two sections of a list now that I think about it.

@Go D. Usopp: for if you have any thoughts, since you were the only other participant in that other AFD, for if a merge would also be a good idea here. SnowFire (talk) 00:29, 27 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@SnowFire Given the article's relatively low notability, I prefer a merge. Go D. Usopp (talk) 00:33, 27 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
