The result was delete. I am not seeing a consensus for a redirect, which an editorial decision can be made about separately. Taking my admin hat off, I'll note that while Minecraft#Gameplay discusses it, "The End Poem" or "End Poem" are not mentioned by name, and many sources don't give it this name in a general (i.e. non-Minecraft) context, so it's arguably not a good redirect. — The Earwig (talk) 06:56, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I can't see how the End Poem would be independently notable of its own, apart from its sole use in a video game Minecraft. No reliable sources on this article other than Boing Boing, which is an interview. Plus the article content wholly screams WP:VGSCOPE violation to me. theinstantmatrix (talk) 04:46, 6 March 2021 (UTC) edited 06:29, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Just seems like complete fancruft and Wikia material to me. Fails GNG per nom._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 17:44, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Clearly fails WP:GNG. Since it is mostly unsourced, there is not much to merge either (and Minecraft already mentions the sole sourced fact that Gough wrote it). IceWelder [✉] 09:26, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Sources fails WP:GNG. Pilean (talk) 17:07, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This is barely relevant in the context of the game's own wiki. Mia (talk) 04:15, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Per the above. Barely notable fan stuff. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:31, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Minecraft#Gameplay, where it is mentioned. Devonian Wombat (talk) 07:21, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Coverage is weak and Notable reliable sources not found. TheDreamBoat (talk) 07:23, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Minecraft#Gameplay per Devonian Wombat. Haleth (talk) 09:13, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Minecraft#Gameplay because it clearly needs to be removed for redundancy purposes, but deletion via the deletion policy is a bit unnecessary. Namethatisnotinuse (talk) 14:24, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I don't see a redirect as being useful given that this is a pretty obscure topic even in the game itself. Page itself is nothing but fancruft that is of no use to anybody but hardcore fans. Namcokid 47 00:33, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
