So the Text mentions Alex as Steve's feminine counterpart. However it is unknown whether or not Alex is Male or female. 2A02:3037:60C:D2BF:4C42:980D:FCD8:9D85 ( talk) 21:29, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

Steve became a widely recognized character in the video game industry following the critical and commercial success of the Minecraft franchise. Steve is the official mascot of Minecraft and Mojang, his likeness has been featured extensively in advertising and merchandise, including apparel and collectibles. The character also inspired a number of unofficial media and urban legends, most notably the "Herobrine" creepypasta, which was widely shared in internet communities as a meme during the 2010s.

Herobrine is, fundamentally, a completely different entity from Steve. Even if they have near the exact same appearance, one is a legitimate, official "character", while the other is a fanmade urban legend. When a casual reader reads about Steve, they want to read about Steve (and the other skins)'s role in Minecraft and its associated works, not a silly creepypasta. The current arrangement of this is similar to that of a WP:COATRACK in my personal opinion. This is why I am proposing Herobrine receive his own article. The sourcing to establish Herobrine's standalone notability is more than plentiful, and is absolutely enough to create a standalone article (while a Reception section could be hard, Legacy would be easy). Even if some of his sourcing is technically listicles, several sources exist that spend at least a few paragraphs discussing him, starting with these: [1], [2], [3], [4] (kinda), [5], [6] (non-English), [7] (scholarly), as well as the sourcing that's already present here that discuss him ( [8], his placement in the GWR, etc.) So we're looking at a pretty decent article that could exist without being detrimental to this article either. I'm looking forward to knowing what y'all think. λ Negative MP1 08:29, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
