It is trivially easy to find GNG-satisfying coverage of this specific event. I have just added another source specifically for the proposition that the Blip continues to be of significance to works set in the MCU. It is likely to also play a prominent role in the setup of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, due to premiere in less than two weeks, which will cement this significance. Why don't we wait and see how that develops?

Most of the listed references in this article do not qualify "significant coverage beyond a mere trivial mention" as they focus on the work as a whole, not The Blip itself.--

Well, obviously this article is still very much under construction.
WP:BEFORE applies, so I would invite you to look for sources and help expand the article along lines that would suit its conformance to criteria for inclusion. All of your edits to this article thus far have been to add tags, which gives me no sense that you have actually investigated or tried to resolve the issues you raise.

Oppose merging at this point, based on substantial expansion of the article, including demonstrations of real-world impact through the Reddit ban, comparisons to COVID-19, and examinations of the hypothetical real-world effect of the event. I think the tags can be removed at this point. Substantial additional coverage has been provided, comparable to that of articles that routinely survive questions about their notability.

This entire article's name/framing is wrong
Article consistently refers to the disintegration event as "the blip" when that only refers to the restoring of disintegration victims five years later. "The snap" is the instigating disintegration event and "the blip" refers only to the restoration of its victims. Will likely edit later with more time to reflect this reality. — Preceding

Yeah, but they are kind of robots. Technically they survived in the way that they could never have been subject to the Blip. Listing them as survivors but then stating that they are artificial and so couldn't have been blipped, seems sufficient to me.
We do already note in the Survivors section "The Eternals also survived the Blip because they were artificial, not biological, beings.", so potentially just stating the Eternals names there rather than in the bulleted list could be an option, though I'm not sure if that is a clarification that ought to be made outright.

I have implemented this. It's a little bit awkward, because they introduced so damn many of them in that one movie, but I still consider this an improvement.
