The result was redirect to Minecraft. The need for a stand-alone article has not been demonstrated, and independent notability outside of Minecraft is not shown. Clearly plausible search term, however. Eddie891 Talk Work 13:13, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Delete per WP:NOTGAMEGUIDE. I can't see this ever being notable as a standalone article, being a minor piece of game minutia that is sourced entirely to game guides. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 18:20, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

- Delete - The current article is nothing but a game guide, as are the sources being used. The only actual mentions of the material that aren't just how-to guides are basically just summaries and/or patch notes for the update that introduced it to the game. There is absolutely no in-dept coverage that would allow this to pass the WP:GNG. Rorshacma ( talk) 18:38, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
- Delete - I proposed a deletion but it was contested via DEPROD'ed. Reasons were WP:GAMEGUIDE and WP:GAMECRUFT. SWinxy ( talk) 18:45, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
- Delete as a non-notable entity in a video game failing WP:GNG with insufficent reliable independent in-depth sources, such as WP:VG/RS. This is gamecruft and most of the sources are update news/change log material. — HELLKNOWZ ▎ TALK 19:34, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
- Delete - Any article made on this subject would fail WP:GAMEGUIDE, there's just no coverage that's not plot works. Hog Farm Bacon 19:35, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

- Keep (but revert to draft) - I think that this could become an encyclopedic article over time. However, I can appreciate that keeping it in the mainspace for now may not be the best thing to do, so I suggest that it gets reverted to draft form. That way it can get improved upon over time and eventually, when it is encyclopedic enough (and hence passes WP:GNG) can be reaccepted into the mainspace. I believe the same is fair to Redstone and Iron Golem (had it not been recently deleted). Squid45 ( talk) 20:17, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
- As I said in the nom, I don't see this ever becoming notable. Mere mentions are not enough, it needs to be substantially discussed. This is very rare for enemy mobs or game objects, even in the most widely known and popular games. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 21:39, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
- Redirect to Minecraft, clearly relevant search term. Polyamorph ( talk) 08:34, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
- Delete: Hmmm, seems we found some Minecruft. Delete for failing GNG/NFICTION Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:53, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

- What is “Minecruft”?

- It's a portmanteau of "Minecraft" and " fancruft". Ionmars10 ( talk) 12:54, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

- Delete Unlike redstone, which I can see having some notability in regards to its popularity, there is literally nothing notable about Netherite at all, and this is pure WP:GAMECRUFT. Nixinova T C 22:50, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
- Redirect to minecraft as a plausible search term Cas Liber ( talk · contribs) 23:47, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
- Delete, move to draft, redirect: Article should be deleted and made a redirect to Minecraft, then moved to draft. This maybe has the potential to be a stand-alone article, but not in its current state. It should be developed further in draftspace. Harmonia per misericordia. OmegaFallon ( talk) 15:43, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
- Personally, I'd be up to help improve it once it's in the draftspace, I'm not just saying "someone else do it" :P Harmonia per misericordia.

- The correct procedure will then be move to draft (not delete to preserve history) and redirect. Polyamorph ( talk) 09:33, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
