Any member of the wiki may participate in a deletion discussion. Comments during discussion should focus on why the article should or should not be deleted, merged, or modified. Users should explain their reasoning sufficiently. Deletion discussions are not votes; strength of argument matters more than the number of people in favor or opposed to deletion.

I don't know if this is how the categories are used, but you could argue that "named after real people" and "based on real people" don't mean the same thing. You could make a Sim that resembles and has the same characteristics as a real-life person, but give that Sim a completely different name, or you could create a Sim with the same name as a real-life person but give them differing characteristics. Like I said, I don't know how the categories are actually used in practice, but I don't know that the two are mutually inclusive. -- LostInRiverview ^{talk · blog · contribs} 17:37, May 20, 2018 (UTC)

Wouldn't it seem that all Sims "named after real people" are also "based on real people"? For instance we don't know what Julius Caesar looked like exactly in real life, yet the Sim version of him is definitely both named and based on the real person. Of course, the difference between "named after" and "based on" would need to be defined first. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 19:08, May 20, 2018 (UTC)

I strongly oppose because of the reasons stated by lost in Riverview. Cheseburgermac (talk) 09:59, May 23, 2018 (UTC)

I support deletion. I agree with K6ka's response above and think that so far every page in the "named after real people"-category might as well be in the "based on real people"-category. Differentiating between these two feels a bit too nitpicky in my eyes. - KailynnKat(talk/fanon) 02:06, July 27, 2018 (UTC)
