{{Forumheader|Community discussions|archive}}Anyone up for a mood to create a biography/articles of SimGurus? [[User:DrakonoSkerdikas|DrakonoSkerdikas]] ([[User talk:DrakonoSkerdikas|talk]]) 13:03, March 9, 2019 (UTC)
==Discussion==
Maybe a list of SimGurus would be more useful than creating separate articles for everyone. —<span style="font-family:'Georgia'; font-weight:bold;">[[User:Gvaudoin|<font color="black">Gvaudoin</font>]]</span> [[User talk:Gvaudoin|💬]] 16:02, March 9, 2019 (UTC)
:I think creating articles for the more reknowned SimGurus would be fine. But yeah, a list would work better to list all of the SimGurus (past? and current ones). [[User:Auror Andrachome|Ѧüя◎ґ]] ([[User talk:Auror Andrachome|talk]]) 18:01, June 13, 2019 (UTC)
::Agreed. Maybe we should make a category for SimGurus? Here's an official list from Twitter: [//twitter.com/TheSims/lists/official-simgurus/members https://twitter.com/TheSims/lists/official-simgurus/members] It's missing [https://twitter.com/SimGuruRyan Ryan Vaughn] though.
::Who do we have so far and who do we want to add? I think I'll add a page for [https://twitter.com/SimGuruLyndsay Lyndsay Pearson]. —<span style="font-family:'Georgia'; font-weight:bold;">[[User:Gvaudoin|<font color="black">Gvaudoin</font>]]</span> [[User talk:Gvaudoin|💬]] 14:20, July 12, 2019 (UTC)
:::Maybe we could have a template for real people too? Like the Sims templates but with different attributes. For example Twitter handle and EA account ID. —<span style="font-family:'Georgia'; font-weight:bold;">[[User:Gvaudoin|<font color="black">Gvaudoin</font>]]</span> [[User talk:Gvaudoin|💬]] 15:25, July 14, 2019 (UTC)
::::I'm not sure that creating individual articles for every single SimGuru is necessarily a good idea. For one, many of these people may not have much in the way of biographical information. A person like [[Will Wright]] is notable in his own right because of the breadth of work he's done, not just within the ''Sims'' series, whereas many other game producers/Gurus may not have much in the way of development experience outside the series. It also seems as though most of the SimGurus tend to be less well-known within the community than the likes of, say, [[Grant Rodiek]] or [[Graham Nardone]].
::::I would be in favor of creating an article that lists the SimGurus, though. Or perhaps, more broadly, an article like [[List of The Sims producers]] or something to that effect, since some notable ''Sims''/Maxis/EA personnel are not SimGurus.
::::Creating a new infobox for these people is also definitely an option, and shouldn't be too difficult. What kind of information would be included on that box? The things that come to mind include name, date of birth, hometown, years active within ''The Sims'' series and/or within Maxis, games they've contributed to, and links to their twitter profiles and/or professional websites. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<span style="color:navy;">LostInRiverview</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>''' 21:07, July 14, 2019 (UTC)
::::: Now that you mention, would Lindsay need her own article? Other Gurus could maybe be mention briefly like [[List of minor Sims|minor Sim in its own article]]. Things that worked for particular game can be found under the in-game credits. [[User:DrakonoSkerdikas|DrakonoSkerdikas]] ([[User talk:DrakonoSkerdikas|talk]]) 21:25, July 31, 2019 (UTC)
==Conclusion==
The entire topic of this discussion literally never needed to be discussed; it could've just been [[TSW:BOLD|done boldly]]. So, there's no clear precedent defined in this thread, and anyone is free to do whatever they like in regards to this topic/idea. - '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<span style="color:navy;">LostInRiverview</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>''' 17:29, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
