Line 100:
1. Articles about real-world content must be properly categorized, and must feature a template at the top of the article mentioning that it concerns real-world material (this is to clearly separate it from canon).
2. There is no limitation on creating real-world content articles'', as long as they are related to ''The Sims'' series of games. <s>However,
3. If a notability discussion occurs, a consensus will be necessary to determine that an article is not notable. An article with questionable notability should not be deleted until it is established that the article is not notable. It is the discretion of the community to decide whether an article is or is not notable, basing this decision on any given guidelines or established precedent on previous issues of notability.
Line 113:
::I say we need to restrict some subjects anyhow, give an example of limits that fan articles from YouTube is restricted from creation. When someone creates a page concerning this, it'll be worth pointing out why the page deserves to be made (maybe because it really '''is''' notable). By this, we will be able to tell that some subjects are noteworthy (or worth discussing), instead of letting ''anyone'' create ''any'' RW articles about Sims. Note that this is conjectural and may not work anyway especially if an editor never found out about this discussion.

:::I agree more with what Wogan is saying - I can make the second point more specific as far as Sims-focused content is concerned. As for what Nikel is saying... I disagree. The situation I really want to avoid is one where a user has to get approval before they can create an article. I think having a specific list of things allowed or not allowed makes it more likely that a user will be prevented from creating an article that ''may'' be relevant. The whole idea of relevance can be established after the article is created, so in my opinion there should be little limitation on what that is - unless of course we decided that certain things, like YouTube channels/personalities, are automatically irrelevant.
:::So, I'm going to go ahead and make the addition to the second point above, as Wogan suggests. The new text reads:
::::2. There is no limitation on creating real-world content articles, as long as they are related to ''The Sims'' series of games. Any user may question whether an article which has been created is notable enough to remain. If a user believes an article is not notable, they should tag it with the {{t|Notability}} template and begin discussing notability in the Community Discussions forum.
