List of famous people in The Sims series


I don't really see any value in this list that say a category wouldn't on these individuals pages. Please read WP:ILIKEIT before making comments on this. The way EA is cross-marketing this product to try and get as many celebrities as possible involved in it it could very easily become massive and unmanageable if it was to be completed.Crossmr 00:31, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge to the various individual titles, cameo info should be suitable for those articles instead. Feel free to ignore trivial entries like Santa Claus however. hateless 00:36, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge the cameo info to their respective titles per Hateless above. --Candy-Panda 01:32, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I wouldn't even go that far. Maybe put a note on the talk pages and let the authors do what they will with it.  Some of these bios would certainly be worse for having this kind of trivia added.--Djrobgordon 03:22, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Clearly, Candy Panda was speaking of the individual Sims games, not the biographies of the celebrities. --Dhartung | Talk 03:37, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge to The Sims and other various individual titles as Hateless mentioned.-- TBC Φ  talk?  03:35, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I think a merge is potentially warranted, but not all of the titles listed have articles, leaving this list as the only appropriate place for the information. Is it better to encourage individual articles for niche software titles/updates, or broader series-oriented information? --Dhartung | Talk 03:37, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge: Merge to The Sims, etc. I don't see much value in creating separate articles for each, however, a brief description adjacent to the character, as presently constructed, might be well suited.  Seicer  (talk) (contribs) 03:42, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment This appears like its quickly going to snowball into a merge. I'm going to go ahead and make sure everything is already contained in the parent articles (I know for example that Superstar already mentions all those people).--Crossmr 03:51, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Having taken a look, everything except the last item "Tivium" is on their respective pages. The console games only get a short couple of paragraphs in the main TS2 article, so I don't know if that should be in there or not.--Crossmr 04:31, 3 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Merge per above. --Meno25 08:17, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment Well, a list is superior to a category in that this list explains the sense in which they are "in" the series. I actually don't see what's wrong with this list, but merge is a fine solution. &mdash; brighterorange  (talk) 15:02, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * To date that has been pretty straight forward. Celebrities that are in have appeared as sims, musicians have re-recorded songs of theirs for the game. The explanation has already been made on all the appropriate articles anyway, so in this case its really a duplication of material except in the one case I noted above. The console piece is small and I'm not sure if Trivium re-recording a song for the game is notable in that context.--Crossmr 17:41, 3 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Merge and redirect to The Sims or another appropriate location, no need for a separate list but the information may be useful to those articles. Seraphimblade Talk to me Please review me! 17:37, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge to The Sims, no need for a separate articles.-- danntm T C 00:21, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
