Hermitcraft
Comment: The author has demonstrated (e.g., at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2026 October 10) an inability to appropriately assess sources for notability. Given the amount of effort that has been spent on discussing this draft, the number of previous declines, and the continued championing of unsuitable sources, a reject has become necessary here to avoid further wastes of editor time.

Comment: Reviewers, check the talk page where there's a lot of discussion about sources and notability. bonadea contributions talk 10:00, 28 September 2026 (UTC)
Comment: Declined per my assessment of the 10 best sources at WP:AFCHD. Athanelar (talk) 14:52, 25 September 2026 (UTC)
Comment: Concerns have been expressed about the use of WP:VALNET sources in this article. I believe that the use of these sources are acceptable in line with the notes at WP:VALNET. The notes for Game Rant and Screen Rant say that while they cannot be used for BLP, they are reliable enough for other non-controversial statements. This article is not a BLP, and none of the statements cited from them are controversial. The note for TheGamer says that it is reliable after August 2020, and all of the articles from this source are from after that date. GranCavallo (talk) 01:41, 24 September 2026 (UTC)
Comment: See User talk:NegativeMP1#c-NegativeMP1-20260923210400-Dare2Leap-20260923082800. Multiple unreliable sources remain in the article. Not making a final judgment beyond that. λ NegativeMP1 21:07, 23 September 2026 (UTC)
Comment: Subject has been determined to be non-notable multiple times in the past and is currently salted. There is no WP:SIGCOV of the subject from suitable sources, and this draft is low quality to begin with. λ NegativeMP1 18:22, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

Hermitcraft, also written as HermitCraft, is an invite-only survival multiplayer (SMP) Minecraft server and web series that is known for the large-scale builds and redstone projects that its members create.

Originally starting in 2012, Hermitcraft has had 11 vanilla seasons as of late 2026, and it currently has 25 active members. Each of the Hermits of the server creates content chronicling their in-game building and antics, which they post to YouTube in an episodic format or live-stream on Twitch.[3]

Notable creations and events
In Season 8, Keralis, BdoubleO100, and a Hermit built a village based on Cinque Terre in Liguria, Italy, with colorful houses and narrow alleyways.[4]
In Season 9, two Hermits accidentally destroyed another Hermit's build, which ignited discussions on Twitter.[5] There was also a crossover event with Empires SMP in October 2022[6] and the rise and fall of the "RentheKing" monarch.[2]
Season 10 began with 27 hermits, with the new Hermits being SmallishBeans and Skizzleman.[1] A shop permit system was instituted, restricting Hermits to selling only specific items allowed by their permits. FalseSymmetry got a special permit of an item of her choice after she won a Demise game on the start of the season.[7]
