This article is basically a tiny bit of information about a community created TS2 meme factory with literally every related image being hosted and displayed here anyway. Personally I don't think it's relevant enough to warrant its own article and it can easily be found from the TS2 website anyway. I'd say if we're going to mention it at all then it's better suited in it's own section on and/or a link to the webpage from TheSims2.com. 13:31, May 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree. 14:02, May 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * For the record, pretty much every image on that page which is from TheSims2.com qualifies for deletion if we decide to delete this page. 20:49, May 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it's pretty much worthless imo.
 * Yeah, mention it, link it, but it doesn't rate a page. Dharden (talk) 10:49, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * I've mentioned and linked the subject on TheSims2.com. The page and its (what would have been) orphaned images have been deleted. 16:20, May 21, 2012 (UTC)

I can't really say much about this, since I don't have WA. The article itself somehow sounds like it's just a Sim that's mentioned in some promos. Just look at the picture.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote for Featured Media!  08:28, June 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * Seems real imo, but that said I'm not intending to walk around a neighborhood for an hour to see him. If someone could check the game strings or something for him that would be great.
 * Somehow, I wish Inge would make another teleporter cat for TS3 again.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote for Featured Media!  08:33, June 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * For now, I'm just going to give this Sim the benefit of the doubt and assume he's real. I've removed the image and rewrote the article to sound a bit more formal. If anyone has seen this Sim in game, please provide a headshot if possible. 18:41, July 24, 2012 (UTC)

I'll have to use the master controller to see if he is real, I will report back. Xxgreenbunnyxx (talk) 19:00, July 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm just going to go ahead and delete the page because he does not exist. Xxgreenbunnyxx checked and I've looked everywhere twice in that neighborhood and dungeons, so this Sim is just made up for promos. (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻﻿) ǝıuooɯɹɐʇs VOTE! 17:26, July 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * I have a better suggestion, which is to move him to list of Sims used in promotional materials instead, which suits him more.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote  –  Guess!  11:17, July 27, 2012 (UTC)

Businesses (The Sims FreePlay)
In its current state, this article pretty much warrants deletion. I would have just deleted it straight away but given that in the case someone here has played the game and has knowledge about the involved businesses, they may want to work on the article. Otherwise we may as well delete it and someone who actually knows something about it can start over. 23:24, June 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * It's pretty doubtful if there's anyone to have the knowledge of this article and editing at once. I agree to delete it.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote for Featured Media!  10:06, June 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * I totally agree with everything the two people above my comment said. Delete it. Bakerychaz 08:37, June 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * Dont delete it ive got sim freeplay buisneese i must amit pretty rubbish the artical but there not much pge of freeplay
 * The layout is problematic and there really isn't much content, meaning one may as well just start over. Deleted. 10:23, June 17, 2012 (UTC)

Rebecca Goth
There has only been one editor who contributes this page, who is an anon. The other edits don't really add any changes to the content, but rather only to fix the layout, which makes me suspect that she is not even real. Someone really has to prove her existence before anything related to the Goths and her is made, and eventually more theories emerge.  Nikel  Talk  12:15, June 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't have this game so I can't really say anything but if anyone does then please do some research, and maybe try to get an image, so that we have some proof that this Sim does merit some reference. 10:21, June 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * I own this game and Rebecca Goth is on the opposite side of the road from my family with her cat Buttons Goth. This page should not be deleted. i will try to find a picture of her on my game. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.204.255.155 (talk • contribs) 16:18, June 18, 2012 (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~
 * Several people has confirmed that she exists. It needs to be expanded now.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote for Featured Media!  03:14, June 19, 2012 (UTC)

A Few of my Images
I Put these for deletion as I feel that these pictures are no longer needed due to the fact the Brandon Merrick and Betty Merrick Articles have been deleted Xxgreenbunnyxx 09:20, June 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * Done. 10:18, June 17, 2012 (UTC)

Midlife crisis
It shouldn't be deleted! So many people are looking for information on how to trigger a midlife crisis, this article provides solid information, and shows the point system.


 * Actually if you look on List of Moodlets, the moodlet for the midlife crisis is there and tells you how it is triggered and some other information. Starmoonie (Talk Here) 02:24, July 4, 2012 (UTC)


 * No, don't delete it. It's actually useful. The List of Moodlets says nothing about how it's triggered unless I missed something. It only gives the in-game description and the mood boosts and such.


 * Did you look under the "From" section? It clearly states you get it from Young Adult to Adult transition but who knows, it may still be there. Starmoonie (Talk Here) 03:07, July 4, 2012 (UTC)


 * Still, the list of moodlets is pretty long, and the Midlife Crisis moodlet is far down in it. I think the article can be useful, but it really needs to be cleaned up. Dharden (talk) 03:59, July 4, 2012 (UTC)


 * Don't delete it, just give it a cleanup.  Bakerychaz  ( talk page ) 05:10, July 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Now I suppose it needs to be expanded instead of cleanup. The layout looks okay to me now.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  09:54, July 4, 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't think it should be deleted. It's an important event when it happens. I just think it should be cleaned up and expanded. :) Waikikamukow (Talk) 08:30, July 5, 2012 (UTC)

It's already cleaned up but needs some more info, so it's off the hook. Starmoonie (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻﻿) 08:33, July 5, 2012 (UTC)

Amanda Houseberge
Reading this Sim article, it sounded like she's downloaded or what. I don't get it. Are players able to share their family in console Pets? And all her glitches make no sense at all. Is she even real?  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote  –  Guess!  13:19, July 14, 2012 (UTC)

Forum:"The Sims 3: Seasons" Expansion Ideas and Forum:"The Sims 3: Glamour Life Stuff" Pack Ideas
Alright, these pages are both about suggested expansion or stuff packs (i.e. not confirmed or legitimately rumored) and both simply say that the EP/SP should have the same exact content as a previous game. I see no purpose in keeping these threads if no new ideas are being presented. --  LiR speak ~ read 00:02, July 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * They both have very little merit whatsoever. They're gone. 11:30, July 22, 2012 (UTC)

RelatedVideos:Rainelle Neengia
Judging from the history, my guess is that, when changes are made to the "Related Videos" module for a page, "RelatedVideos:(PAGE)" is used to track them. Therefore, I've removed the delete tag. Dharden (talk) 16:54, July 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * I've removed the deletion template from RelatedVideos:Eleanor Goldbeard upon seeing this. Honestly, it looks really messed up.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote  –  Guess!  05:48, July 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it looks weird unless you think of it as something that doesn't really need to be human-readable, and wasn't really meant to be. Dharden (talk) 06:06, July 24, 2012 (UTC)

Hack Conflict Detection Utility
The whole article is basically a couple of lines about a tool which doesn't really seem significant enough to warrant its own full article. If it warrants any sort of reference then I think it should just be mentioned on SimWardrobe where the tool is hosted, so I think we should delete this page or possibly redirect it to SimWardrobe. 18:34, July 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * Agreed and if we do want to put it on Sim wardrobe I'll put a picture Xxgreenbunnyxx (talk) 18:37, July 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * Works for me. Dharden (talk) 18:42, July 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirected to SimWardrobe. 20:11, July 25, 2012 (UTC)

The Sims support status
The Sims support status is merely a list of The Sims series but with release date and a not-so fancy table. There's no need to keep it, it looks oblivious, and incomplete.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  08:24, August 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * Not even sure why we have this Xxgreenbunnyxx (talk) 15:31, August 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * That's exactly why I'm bringing up this case. :/ Why wouldn't anyone else bother showing their opinion?  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  19:56, August 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * Not sure either but It will more than likely be deleted Xxgreenbunnyxx (talk) 20:00, August 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah it can go. 20:14, August 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * And gone it is. 19:17, August 19, 2012 (UTC)

Template:News-upcoming
This template is obsolete. We don't use it, and we no longer need it. We already have Game Release Countdown in the main page as well.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  08:34, August 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * It's as obsolete as obsolete gets, therefore I've gone ahead and deleted it. 20:17, August 9, 2012 (UTC)

Jeremy Edwards
I never heard nor read about that Sim even in SimPE. Does he really exists? JM9193 (talk) 19:24, August 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * I can't determine any legitimacy from the content of that article, so unless someone can verify his existence, I'm all for deleting. 19:28, August 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * It was created by some random guy who only edited once (or three if you count his userpage). I myself am not familiar with the name, and I assume it was just some kind of random fanon Sim. Deleted.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  06:50, August 20, 2012 (UTC)

Sims from The Sims Bustin' Out
On the Todo Page I am Fairly Sure I've done everything The Sims Wiki:Todo/Bustin' Out Sims So It should be able to go now. Xxgreenbunnyxx (talk) 14:22, August 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't really understand why the issue was brought up the first place. Is it about to separate the Sims from console and handheld versions?  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  03:59, August 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Anyway, I'd like to thank you for your work too. :) I've separated the category by game and deleted it.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  06:30, August 22, 2012 (UTC)

List of Sims
The article List of Sims seems to me totally redundant, as we already have Category:Sims that automatically catalogs Sims in the game. Additionally there are the following issues which I believe warrant deletion:
 * Page length/size - the page is very very long and size-wise is huge, at over 130,000 bytes, making it easily one of the largest pages on the wiki. For technical reasons, pages much beyond 50,000 bytes are not preferred (at least, on Wikipedia) so we're well beyond that guideline
 * Manual Updating - Unlike a category, Sims need to be added to this list for each new game. Since we already have a hard time getting the Sim pages created for newer expansions, isn't having another page for cataloging a bit excessive?
 * Out of Date - From what I can tell, only Sims from Sunset Valley and Riverview (for TS3) are included on this list, meaning that it would be necessary to add hundreds of new Sims to bring it up-to-date. This of course would involve a lot of work and would make the page even longer/larger.

The only saving grace I see for list pages is that they are easier to navigate for people unfamiliar with categories. But listing every Sim from every game on one article seems to me to be very excessive, so even if we chose to keep the other list pages (e.g. List of Sims from The Sims 2, List of Sims from The Sims (console)) this master list seems largely unnecessary. --  LiR speak ~ read 00:52, August 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * Agreed. Dharden (talk) 01:46, August 23, 2012 (UTC)

Types of death
This list isn't very essential after all. The entire list has been included in death, and needlessly to say ghost too. While there's no real issue to delete it, I don't suppose there's a real purpose why we keep it as well. Due to this, I hesitate to do any action. :/  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  12:55, September 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * I support this deletion.Animated sims plumbbob.gifa TalkieAnimated sims plumbbob.gif 14:13, September 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm in favor of keeping it. The information may be available elsewhere, but if someone just wants a quick at-a-glance overview, the list has the advantage of being compact. Dharden (talk) 14:23, September 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think it will be better if the page will be a template, linking the deaths into the template.Animated sims plumbbob.gifa TalkieAnimated sims plumbbob.gif 09:29, September 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * I kinda agree with Dharden. I suppose it would still be good to keep it. :/ I guess I'm slight in favor to keep it. As for the template, I don't have anything to say for now. Although I don't suppose the navigation could be eye-catching, like TalentBadges.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  14:50, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

List of car owners
I don't think there's anyone who wants to check who owns what vehicle in every single household, not to mention if they have to re-check it whether they "premadely" possess the vehicles at the first place, or somehow spawned. We can get rid of it straight, or just wait until anyone wants to update it. Personally, I go with option number one.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  16:02, September 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't think too many people would care who owns what car, not to mention that it's tedious to update and its pretty listy. So I'm all for the deletion. 19:32, October 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree. Too hard to hanlde and barely even glanced at. I support its deletion.  Freedom  talk  19:54, October 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * Deleted. -  LiR speak ~ read 21:27, October 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah, I guess I was a bit too bold when I first nominated it for deletion. Actually I tried to give the reason that cars were something special back then, but it's now been a common thing people don't pay as much attention anymore. Both reasons lead to deletion anyway. :/  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  12:34, October 18, 2012 (UTC)

It is no longer needed for me to remember it. So It should really be deleted and left deleted, anyone agree ? 🌹 Deathbee1000  19:04, October 15, 2012 (UTC)

TheQuxxn
I'm nominating this article for deletion, though I'm not sure if it should be deleted. We, as far as I know, have no other articles detailing 'well known' players or YouTubers. The last article that I believe we had - about Curtis Paradis - was ultimately deleted for lack of relevance. So I think the question here is whether or not The Sims Wiki should cover well-known Sims players. And, if we say that TSW should, then the question becomes what constitutes well-known.

Ultimately I'm neutral at the present time on deletion. I'd like to hear what others have to say. --  LiR speak ~ read 04:26, December 20, 2012 (UTC)

From The Author of The Page "TheQuxxn": 

I was actually planning to write about some other Youtubers as well - like AndrewArcade, Sweetnightingale, and a couple of others who people enjoy. I just think that it would be cool to create some articles about Sims community members who are now making contributions to the Sims world through youtube. These people are creating really interesting things, like interesting families, awesome buildings, cool legacy challenge ideas, etc., and I know many people have been inspired by these creations. Also I find in the comments of Youtube that often people ask a ton of questions about the Youtuber - and the youtuber can't always reply to every single question, even though some try. So I thought it could also be a neat and organized way of compiling information about these Youtubers.

As for wether or not TSW should write about these people; I think they should. Being a simmer means you're part of a sharing community; this is a feature I've found repetedley since I started playing Sims. And these people who are making videos are very interesting, and have a lot to share; I think it could contribute a lot to TSW.

It's true that it's difficult to judge who counts as "Well-known"...of course you can judge people like Quxxn and Curtis very easily because everybody talks about them, but then there are people like Sweetnightingale, who creates a lot of amazing ideas and puts them into video, but she's not mentioned all over the Sims world like Quxxn is. But I think that's a matter that needs to be tackled seperately from wether or not this article should be deleted or not.

Anyway, that is my point of view on writing about famous simmers on youtube :) (Sorry for so many re-edits; I did this on my phone)

~JellyJelemy, author of "TheQuxxn" article.

I think we could move it to another type of page like a userpage, althought TheQuxxn isn't a user yet. 🌹 Deathbee1000 07:33, December 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't think moving it out of the content userspace would work. --  LiR speak ~ read 07:49, December 20, 2012 (UTC)

Well I say it should be deleted. This person has no account, and leaving this page will just say "Hey! any other Sim players who has walkthroughs or playthroughs (or any other videos) can create pages like this!" and will leave a huge mess. Star ಠ_ಠBee  11:01, December 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * JellyJelemy, the purpose of The Sims Wiki's mainspace is primarily to provide information about the games, not the community. (Communities may be more proper.) Yes, we do list a handful of custom content sites, with the understanding that no list can possibly be complete. Yes, we do have articles on a few relatively well-known custom content and/or information sites, but we do not, as a rule, have articles about custom content creators, no matter how well known they are, or how interesting their creations are. I am therefore opposed to a general practice of creating articles about famous-to-some YouTube Simmers, Even if those articles adhere to our Neutral Point of View policy, a proliferation of such articles might affect the perception that we are here to inform, not promote. Dharden (talk) 14:50, December 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'd say we delete it. I mean, sure TheQuxxn is a big Sim player, there aren't pages like PewDiePie on Amnesia:The Dark Decent Wiki (it was deleted due to the lack of quality, but it could have been expanded on by other users, which it wasn't) or Huskey Starcraft on the StarCraft Wiki, But like what Bee said, it was an unregistered user who created the page. It would create the green light for other users to do the same thing. Asher <font color="#FFA700">Éire I'm a lonely person, so please talk to me... 16:04, December 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think Devly was referring to the fact that the page is about a person who doesn't have an account here. The page itself was written by a registered user, User:JellyJelemy. There is no rule prohibiting anyone from creating pages right now, even unregistered contributors (and putting in such a rule might not be approved by Wikia).
 * As for the matter at hand - the reason I'm neutral is because I do not necessarily think The Sims Wiki can't host this kind of information. At the same time, what Dharden said about the perception of The Sims Wiki - whether "we are here to inform, not promote" could very well become an issue if this article should remain. --  LiR speak ~ read 16:15, December 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't remember where Curtis Paradis' deletion discussion was held, but I'd say to delete it, as it's rather similar to his case. I don't think we can let each Simmer who makes CCs and creates walkthrough to warrant their own pages, as it appears to be subjective.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  17:16, December 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * From looking around, I've noticed we don't actually have a policy which outlines what is and isn't notable. I feel that it is almost vital that this is discussed in a forum thread and maybe have a formal notability policy established.


 * To speak personally on this, I'd say delete it. The article is written more like its intent is to promote as well as various formatting issues and what Nikel said about subjectivity. 17:21, December 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * There is this forum thread regarding notability for pages on websites; perhaps we can expand the discussion and come up with a policy out of that. I agree that this place isn't exactly the best place to do it.


 * As for the matter at hand - so far it seems that most favor deletion. For the sake of giving everyone an opportunity to weigh in, I'm choosing to leave this discussion open for a few days; I hope the other admins will do so as well. --  LiR speak ~ read 17:47, December 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Minor comment: Any user involved with this discussion may wish to take a look and weigh in on this thread, which is all about dealing with notability and situations like this. 12:39, December 21, 2012 (UTC)

Deleted: Because the consensus here seems to favor deleting the article, it has been deleted. If the outcome of a community discussion favors the allowance of articles like this, the page can be un-deleted. --  LiR speak ~ read 01:02, December 26, 2012 (UTC)

Golems
This article has been nominated since November 12, and appears to have been a straight lift from Golems on the TSM wiki, right down to the links linking to the TSM wiki. My inclination is to delete it, unless someone has a good reason not to. Dharden (talk) 00:20, December 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah I say delete and if it does warrant its own page despite the logic being contested in the nomination then write from scratch, otherwise just give it a mention. 00:22, December 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * Deleted Dharden (talk) 00:45, December 26, 2012 (UTC)

Running with Scissors Playset
This article has been nominated for deletion on the grounds that the website for The Sims 2 will close soon. I oppose deletion on two grounds. First, it may be mirrorored or archived, and therefore would remain available after the official website closes. Second, even if it does become unavailable, the article should be kept for reasons of history. Dharden (talk) 16:12, January 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * I oppose deletion for those same reasons. However, I wonder if it would be possible to merge this page with another/others, since it is quite short on its own. If that's not possible or practical, I support keeping it as-is. --  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 17:30, January 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * Someone should probably look for it. My online time will be limited until I get my PC up and running again. Dharden (talk) 22:40, January 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose on historical grounds. It's pretty sparse but I can't really think of anything to merge it into. If we delete this then we may as well kill The Sims 2 Store Edition as well because it would fall under the same argument . 22:53, January 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * The delete nonination has been removed. Dharden (talk) 23:04, January 8, 2013 (UTC)
