{{Forumheader|Community discussions|archive}}This is an issue that has been addressed many times by different people on various talk pages but it's never been resolved so I'm making this thread in the hopes that some sort of consensus can be found. I know Maxis/EA have never been very consistent when it comes to maintaining an official canon or a timeline but that doesn't mean this Wiki can't have consistent guidelines.
 
1. A lot of Sims from previous games have reappeared in ''The Sims 4'' and for most of them the new information was added to the existing pages. This is true for the [[Goth]]s, the [[Landgraab]]s, the [[Caliente]]s, and [[Don Lothario]], as well as the [[Newbie family]], the [[Pleasant]]s, and the [[Grunt]]s. However, there are three noteable exceptions: [[Dustin Broke]], [[Dirk Dreamer]], and [[Holly Alto]] have seperate pages for ''The Sims 4''. Shouldn't they be merged with the original pages? Especially since the articles are all very short and it would be consistent with the approach that has been taken with all the other returning Sims.

:::I wouldn't know how to solve your history issue, as I don't have enough knowledge of that, but seperating pages by era musn't be too difficult as most Sims that appear in multiple games have different infoboxes and info under ''The Sims 3'' subtitles. Again: it would take a lot of work, but I do think it might be worth it.
