The Sims (video game series)
I created this page back in around February. I think it is not suitable yet as the article is directly copied from the "Sequels" section from The Sims. What do you think?. Mythdon (talk) 05:24, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm thinking maybe we should copy the sequels and spinoffs section and paste it in The Sims (video game series). I think the article itself is needed, much in the way Final Fantasy is needed. What do others think? Valtoras (talk) 09:17, 17 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep I agree with Valtoras that a series article for The Sims would make much sense. Rm the section from The Sims then. – sgeureka t•c 09:50, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. I think a series article is viable as it would serve the same purpose as a DAB page while giving a bit of context. I wouldn't say remove the section from the original Sims article, but rather replace with a brief paragraph and a link to this article. I'm not sure if this AFD is really necessary as it seems this is more to do with a proposed merger or something like that. 23skidoo (talk) 13:41, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - I agree with Valtoras and I think it is a good idea that information from all the Sims games go on it to make it about the series in general with the stuff from here on it rater than on The Sims - Highfields (talk) (contribs) 15:53, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - agreement with valtoras --Camaeron (talk) 18:23, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I have no opinion, but if it's kept it needs to be moved to The Sims (series) since there is no reason to disambiguate it even further with the "video game" part.  TJ   Spyke   21:31, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep a) The Sims is .. well it's a seriously important aspect of recent gaming history, regardless. b) Series articles (when the series is large enough to warrant one) are extremely useful boxes to tie up loose ends in, a lot of crufty spin-out articles on video games actually contain details which could be summarized in a series article. c) The Sims is a lot bigger than that list suggests, remember it can also contain titles like The Sims 2: Castaway. d) The Sims is still growing, the casual games sector has recently seen at least two Sims branded games: Snapcity and Bumper Blast. So yeah, just outsource the sequels from The Sims to this article. Someoneanother 04:19, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
