Category talk:Candidates for deletion

Please use this page to discuss pages that have been labeled for deletion.


 * Guidelines


 * Make a level 2 header with the link and title of the article/file.
 * If it's a file, include a small thumbnail to the right.
 * Strike out the title when it has been resolved.

Reminder...
Just a reminder to everyone; whenever you add delete or speedydelete to a page, image, category, etc. it automatically gets placed on the Delete lists - Category:Candidates for deletion and Category:Candidates for speedy deletion. These lists are watched by a few admins and are also auto-updated on the Admin portal. That means that, often, there is no need for discussion here about page deletion. Here's a good rule of thumb: Of course, if ever in doubt about whether something should be discussed by the community or not, always opt to open up discussion. The rule of thumb above is only meant to reduce the use of this page to notify administrators, which is not the purpose of the page; this page's intended purpose is to serve as a location to discuss deletions when a discussion is necessary. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 08:01, October 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * If something is bad and should be deleted immediately, use speedydelete and wait for an administrator. If none deletes the offending item within a reasonable time, leave a message on this page or directly on an admin's talk page.
 * If something obviously should be deleted (if, for example, a page is misspelled) but it isn't urgent, use delete and wait for an administrator to delete it. If it takes a while to get deleted, politely remind us to do our jobs on this page or our talk pages.
 * If something exists that, in your opinion should be deleted, but where there is the possibility of a difference in opinion among users, then use delete and start a discussion on this page so that the deletion can be decided.

Category:Sims who have great-grandchildren
nominated this category for deletion, but I'll open the discussion of the matter since I don't think this is an obvious case where it's clear that the category should/shouldn't be deleted. Thoughts? --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 08:07, October 31, 2010 (UTC)

Well I think this category should remain but we have a problem we don't have any categories to categorise this page, it will be easier if we had categorisation in this page to find it. Thanks ---Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 08:13, October 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Do you mean like parent categories for this category to fit into? You're right, it is generally preferred that categories have parent categories, but I'm sure there are situations where it doesn't happen. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 08:16, October 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * While the category is growing on me, I just don't like it. The creator didn't even bother to categorize it, and it really is generally unneeded.

This category is absolutely pointless. Delete. --Elassint 20:18, October 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Deleted - the category contained no pages. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 19:56, November 1, 2010 (UTC)

Custom family stories
There is already page for this. Thanks ---Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 13:09, October 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * Deleted as redundant. Dharden (talk) 14:28, October 31, 2010 (UTC)

Lotta Greaves
Is She a real sim please confirm! Thanks ---Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 18:38, November 2, 2010 (UTC)

It is a real Sims, I confirm. JM9193 18:43, November 2, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. ---Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 18:45, November 2, 2010 (UTC)

Ebenezer Alto
The only mention of this Sim is in the description of Bridgeport. From what i've seen there is no other mention of him in Bridgeport or in any of the other Sims 3 games.Bafendo 12:36, November 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Other Lore Sims have articles, so I see no reason to delete this. Perhaps it should be merged into the List of minor Sims, but not deleted. Dharden (talk) 13:34, November 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Agree with Dharden. Lore pages are often pretty vague, and perhaps could all be merged into one page on Sims Lore for each generation of the games? Similarly, there are pages for Sims only mentioned in object descriptions like Olive Peynter. (Kiwi tea 13:58, November 3, 2010 (UTC))
 * Oh ok. That's a good idea Dharden.Bafendo 01:17, November 4, 2010 (UTC)

dont delete my user page!! >=[
I made a HollyAlto page but really... my account is like 3 minutes old :(


 * The page has been deleted, and the user has been pointed to their user page. Dharden (talk) 14:21, November 3, 2010 (UTC)

Cati56
This should be moved to the creators user page. ---Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 21:33, November 6, 2010 (UTC)

Already done.
 * Already done. As said before, you don't need to post here unless a discussion is necessary or unless no one moves/deletes it within a reasonable time. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 21:36, November 6, 2010 (UTC)

Category:Sims with Glasses
Me and Guilherme just moved everything, excluding DeAndre Wolfe, because that page is protected. Anyway, the page is unneeded now. BobNewbie talk • blog 12:36, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

Please unprotect the page DeAndre Wolfe to move the category to Category:Sims wearing glasses. Thanks ---Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 12:37, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

Someone please? ---Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 18:15, November 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * The protection for DeAndre Wolfe has expired. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 18:33, November 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Done, now it can be deleted. ---Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 18:36, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

Plumbob Standard
Pointless page about the plumbbob and doesn't have much sense either. GEORGIE GIBBONS  talk contributions15:48, November 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * It was already deleted. In the future, please post here only for debatable deletions. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 16:18, November 9, 2010 (UTC)

Merge and Purge
I think the page Merge and Purge should be deleted on the grounds that it gives a name to a "strategy" - a name which is not common in The Sims lexicon (I've never seen or read the term prior to seeing that page). I want community opinion on its deletion before it's deleted, however. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 05:20, November 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * It might be worth mentioning as something that the ability to merge households makes possible, but I don't think it rates a page of its own. Dharden (talk) 06:16, November 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * In that case, what page do you think it could be merged into? --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 06:36, November 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Family bin would work, as it already mentions the ability to merge households. It wouldn't have be be a full merge, just a mention that it's possible to merge two households, then use "Find own place" with a newspaper or computer to move the original family out. I can see it being used as a way of passing a house and its contents from one generation to the next, while having the older generation move into another house. Dharden (talk) 07:48, November 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * I just did it because I was desperate to add a new page. Sorry about any inconvience. Awesome2 09:09, November 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * So we can delete it, then? Dharden (talk) 13:30, November 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * It could also be megrged with Simoleon as a way to make money. --a_morris (talk) 22:06, November 13, 2010 (UTC)

I'd say delete or merge with Simoleon or Family bin as this "strategy" is not official, meaning it shouldn't be its own page, although pne can merge a household and some players do this for money. GEORGIE GIBBONS  talk contributions15:11, November 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * I have added the ability to merge households to Family bin and Moving, and added the merge and purge strategy to Simoleon (diff) and deleted it. --a_morris (talk) 04:21, November 17, 2010 (UTC)

Adeaze Min
Duplicate of Adaeze Min - I didn't realise I made a spelling mistake when working on MinShen household. Sppedy delete and my apologies. GEORGIE GIBBONS  talk contributions15:54, November 16, 2010 (UTC)

I think this page was meant to be Adaeze Min's one. JM9193 15:55, November 16, 2010 (UTC)

Whoops, the same topic has been creating while I was writing this one Sorry. JM9193 15:57, November 16, 2010 (UTC)

Per above - just a spelling mistake (and it seems I can't spell "Speedy" either :o). GEORGIE GIBBONS  talk contributions15:58, November 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Merged topics. Article has been deleted. Dharden (talk) 16:13, November 16, 2010 (UTC)

Adeaze Min/Player stories
Per above. GEORGIE GIBBONS  talk contributions19:45, November 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Deleted Dharden (talk) 20:32, November 16, 2010 (UTC)

Category:Hospitals, Category:Military bases, Category:Office buildings, Category:City Halls, Category:Abandoned Warehouses and Category:Bistros
All the categories in the title are practically pointless as any of these building types have their own page, meaning that they might as well be deleted. GEORGIE GIBBONS  talk contributions22:20, November 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * "Categories, lists, and navigation templates are three different ways to group and organize articles. Although they each have their own advantages and disadvantages, each method complements the others." (Wikipedia:CLN).
 * Those categories are going to be for specific buildings that redirect to a general page. A working example is Tomb. It lists all of the tombs in World Adventures and each specific tomb has a page that redirects to it but the redirects are categorized by both their type and their location in one of the three neighbourhoods. Instead of categorizing "Tomb" in all location categories, which I think is meaningless. --a_morris (talk) 22:55, November 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah OK, I see what you mean. As long as the categories will contain specific buildings that redirect to a general page then I'm OK with the keep. GEORGIE  GIBBONS  talk contributions10:01, November 17, 2010 (UTC)

Gaz Specter
Article for a character that doesn't exsist in Rockwell Acres or The Sims 2 for console. May just be fanon. GEORGIE GIBBONS  talk contributions10:07, November 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * It has been deleted, and the vandal's remaining edits have been reverted. While I don't know for sure, I'm inclined to doubt it's a coincidence that the vandals's IP was 92.29.242.2, while the earlier "Gaz" vandal was on 92.29.12.44 . Admins, rollbackers, and undoers may want to keep an eye out for 92.29.*.* IPs. Dharden (talk) 14:35, November 17, 2010 (UTC)

This is fanon and unused. Xxgreenbunnyxx

Normal sims
Badly written, few content and uneeded. Thanks ---Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 17:28, November 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Deleted. Dharden (talk) 17:39, November 18, 2010 (UTC)

Amy Star and Jill Simon
These sims were not included in the game so their articles are redundant and there is no much to talk about in these articles. Thanks.---Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 17:07, November 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * It might be worth mentioning that they appeared in previews but not in the game, but IMO, that could be done as part of Bridgeport and/or Late Night. Dharden (talk) 04:25, November 21, 2010 (UTC)

Glabe Glarn
It's already mentioned in the articles for Glabe Curious and Glarn Curious, and each article has a link to a video. There doesn't seem to be much that can be said about it, and I'm not sure it rates a separate article, but I thought it should be discussed. Dharden (talk) 04:11, November 21, 2010 (UTC)

It was created again. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 13:06, November 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * And fairly so. I nominated it rather than deleting it because I'm not sure that it should be deleted. There's nothing wrong with the information itself, just a question as to whether or not it rates a separate article. I would like to see some discussion before any action is taken. Dharden (talk) 13:39, November 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * It could be merged with Songs in Simlish. --a_morris (talk) 15:58, November 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * That would work. Delete nomination withdrawn. Dharden (talk) 16:32, November 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Article has been merged with Songs in Simlish. --a_morris (talk) 19:42, November 21, 2010 (UTC)

FUNNYEST ARTICLE EVER!!!
It's pretty obvious why this should be deleted. 00:57, November 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Deleted. The perpetrator has also been blocked as they made several nonsensical articles, admitting that the articles were "stupid" and that they weren't going to stop creating them. --a_morris (talk) 03:17, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

Belle family
Already one more complete named Belle household they are a household not a family so this article is overabundant. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 22:05, November 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * deleted.--Monster2821 (Talk) 22:07, November 23, 2010 (UTC)

File:The Sims 3 FarmLife expansion pack.jpg
Orphaned image for a non-existant EP. GEORGIE GIBBONS  talk contributions 17:00, November 24, 2010 (UTC)

If there's a definite rumor about such an EP, it may be worth keeping for use on the rumors page. It's occurred to me that it may be a variant on the "The Sims 3: In the Country" fake. Dharden (talk) 17:32, November 24, 2010 (UTC)

File:Tulisa-Contostavlos-FHM-1.jpg
Image with nothing to do with The Sims which has only been used on a a vandalism page. GEORGIE GIBBONS  talk contributions 20:20, November 25, 2010 (UTC)
