Stuff packs for The Sims 3

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Fails WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Per the policy, "Wikipedia treats creative works in an encyclopedic manner, discussing the [...] significance, and influence of works". There is no indication of significance/influence for a group of minor expansion packs of furniture and clothing, etc. for a game. It can be succinctly described in the parent article. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 01:47, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment - After an extensive search, I found shockingly little sources covering Sims 3's stuff packs. The most I found in terms of reviews is Common Sense Media reviewed every one except Sweet Treats and Diesel, and IGN reviewed the first pack, Loft Stuff. Here's what I found:


 * High-End Loft Stuff/Design and Hi-Tech Stuff: IGN review, Common Sense Media review


 * Fast Lane Stuff: Common Sense Media review, brief coverage in Destructoid, news coverage by Softpedia, brief coverage by Rock Paper Shotgun


 * Outdoor Living Stuff: Common Sense Media review, review in The Irish Times


 * Town Life Stuff: Common Sense Media review, news coverage by Softpedia


 * Master Suite Stuff: Common Sense Media review, Eurogamer Italy review, brief coverage by Digital Spy


 * Katy Perry's Sweet Treats: Was unable to find any reviews, but got a decent amount of news coverage: Gamezone, MTV, VG247, Digital Spy


 * Diesel Stuff: Literally nothing


 * 70s, 80s, & 90s Stuff Common Sense Media review, very brief mention of pack announcement in Engadget


 * Movie Stuff: Common Sense Media review

 * Merge/Redirect to The Sims 3. The coverage here isn't enough to meet the WP:GNG, but there's some mentions here worth incorporating into the main article. (Common Sense media isn't a reliable source, and not even sure they provide actual game reviews, other than being a parental watchdog.) Shooterwalker (talk) 14:57, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Common Sense Media is a reliable source per WP:CSM, and does have reviews by staff, per the reviews linked. Waxworker (talk) 15:21, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
 * That's news to me, and I'll keep that in mind. Even on that front, some of these CSM "reviews" are not much more than a paragraph, in the context of CSM's game profiles that are focused more on their advocacy/advisory. Not significant by WP:GNG standards but perhaps worth preserving at the merge target. Shooterwalker (talk) 15:25, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Merge or redirect to The Sims 3 - Not seeing evidence that this is independently notable from a WP:PAGEDECIDE perspective, and the relevant section of The Sims 3 article probably needs more prose. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 12:51, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
