:'''Undecided''' - I'm split whether to support or oppose deletion. I'd support deletion, since these Sims do seem to be very insignificant and until this discussion I haven't even seen or heard of them. On the other hand they still are officially created Sims that are provided as a download, very much like Sims such as [[Princess Zaghawa Maximus]]. While there weren't nearly as many downloadable Sims and families in the first few eras, I think they still fall into the same category. - [[User:KailynnKat| <span style="color:#910b0b; font-variant:small-caps;"> '''KailynnKat'''</span>]][[User_talk:KailynnKat|<span style="color:#910b0b; font-size:11px">(talk</span>]][[:Category:Fanon created and owned by KailynnKat|<span style="color:#910b0b; font-size:11px">/fanon)</span>]] 02:25, July 27, 2018 (UTC)
:I would lean in favor of '''keep''' or else '''merge together.''' It seems that these are EA-created Sims who are meant to represent living people; this seems reminiscent of other Sims they've made in the past, like the real-life celebrity Sims from ''[[The Sims: Superstar]]'', [[Drew Carey]] from ''[[The Sims: House Party]]'', etc. The difference being that, while those Sims appear in the game, these are simply Gallery Sims. What makes them noteworthy, at least to me, is that they were created by an officially-controlled account. -- '''[[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>''' 03:39, July 27, 2018 (UTC)
 
 
: I'd lean towards '''keep''', though '''merge together''' is a decent idea for a compromise. The MaxisCreator_01 account is now officially identified as the official Maxis account, so I'd call any sim uploaded to it to be "official". Sims 4 doesn't have as many premade Sims as Sims 2 and 3 did, due to various aspects of what makes Sims 4 different from past games. "Official" gallery sims from what is now the official Maxis account are essentially the replacement for premade sims packaged with existing worlds, at least that is how I view them. I'd also lean towards considering any Sims uploaded to the official Guru accounts to be "official" in this way, though that is a seperate discussion. Obviously the articles would need to be updated with more information (and headshots!) to meet standards but I don't think articles on here should be deleted just for not being "there" yet. Like I said at the start I'm also not against merging these articles together to make a list of gallery sims that aren't used in promotional material but are on official accounts. If it helps I can add beefing up these articles to my to do list, I download every sims from the official account and from the guru accounts so I can easily access them, though it may be awhile before I can actually get around to it.  [[User:Madhackrviper|Madhackrviper]] ([[User talk:Madhackrviper|talk]]) 23:08, January 1, 2019 (UTC)
 
==Closing==
This has been sitting up for quite awhile with no clear resolution. What is clear is that there isn't a consensus to delete the pages outright. On those grounds, I'm closing down the deletion discussion, but leave open the possibility that these pages could be merged or otherwise combined in some way. I would encourage either [[TSW:BOLD|BOLD]] action on the matter, or else another discussion in a different venue to determine the ultimate outcome. In any case, the pages are '''kept''' as-is for the time being. -- '''[[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>''' 15:20, May 28, 2019 (UTC)
