Delete and redirect to
Minecraft#Popular culture and social media, which has some mention of notable "clones". There are many hits in
WP:VG/RS, but all are about some other game(s) being compared to Minecraft and called "clones". In other words, the topic does not pass
WP:GNG with multiple in-depth sources, where the topic if the subject of the sources. Closest is something like
[1]. There are definitely some good sources for material in the main article, but not enough content for a
WP:SPLIT. —

Speedy delete (
CSD A10) and redirect — There are "
Minecraft clones" out there which may have or achieve
WP:NOTABILITY, but I doubt that there is currently enough depth to the topic to justify its own article. Any good content on the topic should first be developed as a sub-section of the main Minecraft article (there is already some content there), which could later be split off into a standalone article if it proves to be a sufficiently large topic. So, speedy A10 on the basis of duplication, and agree on failure to credibly establish
WP:NOTABILITY for the article, as currently written.
Talk:Minecraft is the correct place to discuss future development and expansion of this sub-topic, and the sub-topic is certainly suitable for inclusion in the main article (subject to normal content guidelines). --

Keep but Redirect, perfectly good redirect that shouldn't just be deleted.--

Redirect to
Minecraft or
Survival game. It's a legit search term, but we don't have a body of information as compared to
GTA clone. --
