Category:Images of Console Sims
This shouldn't be deleted; it is a category with 48 images and I think it should be moved instead. |_Andronikos Leventis Talk 18:42, January 28, 2011 (UTC)

Lessen & Breckenridge households
No reason for either of them to have a household page since their both bachelor's

Template:Tombld

 * This template was nominated for deletion, by Thelamppost. DarthCookie deleted it, but, I felt that there was just no discussion about this, and decided to start it. Thoughts, questions?
 * I see that it was undeleted. Also, it is used in quite a few articles and a few other templates. Even if the arguments for deleting it are valid, that should be cleaned up first. Dharden (talk) 22:26, February 10, 2011 (UTC)

Naenae Kwa
I just found out with SimPE that witches, landlords and butlers all have random name. For example, Naenae Kwa is called Elise Copur and was called Lainey in my other neighborhood.JM9193 15:18, February 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * To make these articles not disappear we could move them to names like "Landlord34" and make explicit in the page that the Sim which is being described holds a random name in every specific game. What do you think? --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 15:26, February 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Usually, every copy of a game will have the same 3 NPC names. For example, every copy of The Sims 2 had Kaylynn Langerak amongst a couple of others. A name is randomly generated when a new NPC is created for a purpose. As I have seen a few NPC pages that have been nominated, we should wait for a response from anyone who owns the games with these characters before we delete anything. 15:30, February 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * As for Guilherme's suggestion, I think, if the articles are deleted; we should put the pics, aspiration and sign of the Sims on the matching NPC page: for example, the witches's pics might be moved to the Witch page, etc.
 * By the way, other similar NPCs include animal trainers and the police officiers that ship with The Sims 2: Pets.JM9193 15:38, February 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * It appears that the only NPCs who have fixed names are the initial base-game NPCs (even in neighborhoods added by EPs) and the Garden Club members. All other NPCs seem to get random names. We can move the pictures to Landlord, Butler, etc., but if they have random names, they should not have named articles. Dharden (talk) 16:49, February 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * I moved the infoboxes for the premade landlords to Landlord/Premade landlords, and designated them M1, M2, and F1. Dharden (talk) 03:42, February 26, 2011 (UTC)

Comparison between The Sims 3 and The Sims Medieval
Since two different versions of this article have been deleted, I think it's safe to say that the necessity and/or desirability of such an article is in dispute. I think there should have been some discussion before the article was deleted, so I have restored it and nominated it. I ask that it be left up until there's been a reasonable amount of discussion.

There are significant differences between the two games, and The Sims Medieval is, in many ways, a break from earlier games. I think we should note that, but where and how -- and whether "where" should be a separate article -- is something to discuss. Dharden (talk) 14:38, March 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * Noticing what games already have comparison articles, it seems to me that the games that are compared to one another are ones that are similar, yet have enough difference to highlight in the article. I would say it would be pointless to compare two games that are unrelated to an extreme (like The Sims and Call of Duty), but where exactly this line of difference is drawn, I don't know. Certainly all the other game comparisons we have are comparing two or more games within the main series, not spin-off games like TSM. That's not to say that this comparison isn't valid, that's just an observation.
 * What I would suggest is that we mark that page for expansion and see how much information we can put onto it. If the page at any point looks unnecessary, we can re-evaluate its deletion. But feel free to do what you'd like. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 15:51, March 26, 2011 (UTC)

Vulgar
The real name of this page is Uncouth, and it's already created, shouldn't we deleted it? --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 18:32, April 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * The content was merged to the real page, the page is now a redirect. Thank you. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 18:48, April 3, 2011 (UTC)

Category:Machinima
Pretty useless category, since Machinima is fan created videos using The Sims games and the closest thing to it is Game Trailers, which we have video's for on game pages. -- Zombie talk • blog 09:48, April 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Also, if it is to be used as Fanon, it would be redundant to add pages containing machinima videos to this category. Maybe we could rename it to "Fanon pages that make use of Machinima" or something along those lines. -- Zombie talk • blog 09:52, April 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Because I seem to be unable to rename the category, I have deleted it. If someone does create fanon that makes use of this, we can make a category called "Fanon pages that make use of Machinima". 15:03, April 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Point of notice, categories can't be renamed. -- Zombie talk • blog 15:09, April 5, 2011 (UTC)

George PacRayli Simstrong
I suggest putting this up for deletion, since it does not really say much and seems pretty pointless, really. It kinda just takes up room, metaphorically. - XoTulleMorXo  ( talk and  contributions ) 04:47, April 9, 2011 (UTC)

Think you're right. Do we really need pages for sims who are only mentioned in one description? -- WoganHemlock (talk) · (blog) 04:49, April 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * I changed the focus of the page to be the item, rather than the character. --a_morris (talk) 05:08, April 9, 2011 (UTC)

Hong family
The page listed above is a bad quality page with little information, and I am unsure if families in vacation towns are even not randomly generated. I can't check TS3 at the moment, so does anybody know if this family exists or not? Thanks, -- Bleeh (talk) (blog) 17:16, April 10, 2011 (UTC)
