The Sims Wiki talk:Community Portal/The Sims 4

Marked for Deletion
I've marked this page for deletion, and I'm hoping that the deletion can be discussed and a consensus can be reached.

First off, it should surprise no one that EA has begun development of TS4... the typical time taken to develop a game is many years, especially for something as massive as a Sims game. However, I'm pretty sure, as we are only on TS3's 2nd expansion currently, that it will be at least 2-3 years (my guess) before any official word is made or any real information is provided on TS4. In the meantime, this page exists only as temptation for people to come on and offer their own made-up, un-sourced and/or speculative information regarding the game, none of which will be proven or official until an official announcement is made.

Secondly, the words of a rogue EA employee shouldn't carry much credibility, especially on Twitter of all places. It even says in the article that this "is the only information we know about it." It seems totally pointless to me to have a page dedicated to stating something which hasn't been officially announced and which is still multiple years away.

Therefore, I've nominated this page to be deleted. If you disagree, you may state your reasoning as I have already stated mine. Thanks! --LostInRiverview 06:57, June 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree. --a_morris (talk) 13:18, June 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * I disagree. It is obvious that The Sims 4 will come out as EA/Maxis cannot throw away a best-selling series. But, regardless whether an employee states anything about it or not, the article is credible as it is certain there will be a Sims 4 and anyway the article doesn't give away any unsourced/speculative information except that it is estimated that it will be released in 2012/2013. And if anyone puts any uncertain/unsourced/speculative info on the article we should ask them to source it or delete the information. And another thing, doesn't The Sims Wiki have the right to simply know about an employee commenting?MJ567 16:16, June 21, 2010 (UTC)
