I'm starting this discussion as a result of [[Category talk:Candidates for deletion#Aileen Rauvu|this deletion nomination]]. The Sim nominated in this case was featured in a promotional video for ''Get to Work'', and also appears on the Gallery as a Maxis creation. There are other Sims who fit this criteria, which raises an interesting question regarding Gallery content in general. Namely, is Gallery content considered "canon", and therefore fair game for inclusion on The Sims Wiki? Is there some other expectation that these Sims or other pieces of content should meet before they are included, e.g. the Sim/family/lot has to appear in some other Maxis-created media, such as a trailer, or do we allow creation of articles for any such content? -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<span style="color:navy;">LiR</span>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] • [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] • [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 02:40, January 13, 2016 (UTC)

::Although I originally supported the deletion of [[Aileen Rauvu]], I think that a Sim being up for download on an official EA account (whether MaxisCreator_01 or a SimGuru's) and appearing in a render, trailer, or screenshot is enough to have an article for them.

:::'''Closing''' there is no resounding consensus, but the general agreement from the two editors here is that Maxis Sims from the gallery should appear in at least some additional material before being given their own pages. The general conclusion, therefore, is that Maxis-made Sims on the gallery are considered canon for the purposes of the wiki, until or unless a discussion later determines differently. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<span style="color:navy;">LiR</span>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] • [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] • [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 15:14, March 11, 2016 (UTC)
