[edit] The Sims 2: Pets

nominator was unable to substitute proper template so I am doing it. His reasoning per Talk:The_Sims_2:_Pets#Deletion is given as This page needs to be deleted. It is too speculative, and Wikipedia is Not a Crystal Ball. Crossmr 01:47, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

This AFD2 was blanked; I have restored it. -- H·G (words/works) 01:53, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - Product is confirmed and in development. Information on the page is taken from a reliable source and is not at all speculative. We couldn't get rid of this article when it was pure speculation, and now that its confirmed what possible reason could be had for removing it now?--Crossmr 01:54, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep per Crossmr. Maxis has confirmed its release within the next few months, so whether the game will be released isn't speculation, it's fact, and appropriately tagged as such with the "under development" template. It will certainly be expanded later on as further developments arise. Fabricationary 02:57, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep- it is an expansion pack from maxis, and maxis has already confirmed it. university, nightlife, and open for business get their own articles, so why not pets? --Colorfulharp233 03:07, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
    • SimCity Classic, SimCity 2000, SimCity 3000, and SimCity 4 get their own articles, so why not SimCity 5? --Moped 06:55, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
      • As far as I know, SimCity 5 has never even been announced. This game has been announced, it's definitely under development, and has several reliable sources. BryanG(talk) 07:12, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep It's availible for pre-order. EA may be called by some "destroyer of worlds", but they haven't started selling vapourware. Yet. I shouldn't give them ideas, should I? LinaMishima 03:11, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Confirmed game and reliable source given. Not a crystal ball. BryanG(talk) 04:05, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong keep. It's on The Sims 2's official website. And everything I've seen here has been confirmed by various sources such as IGN and GameSpot. ekedolphin 04:09, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Very Strong Delete i agree with moped —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 4.227.2.148 (talk • contribs).
  • Delete As I said earlier. --Moped 06:55, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
    and one what grounds do you find it speculative? Everything in the article is sourced from Maxis.--Crossmr 15:02, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been added to the list of CVG deletions. RandyWang (raves/review me!) 14:11, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Confirmed by both IGN and GameSpot, aswell as numerous other reliable sources. Havok (T/C/c) 15:50, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep Confirmed. This expansion pack will come out sooner or later, and when it does, it would be better not to have to start from scratch. NeonMerlin 17:39, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep What the hell are you on about? This isn't speculative at all - all the information is sourced from the website and other sources (Gamespot and IGN spring to mind) and there is NO chance this is going to be pulled - Maxis have never missed an expansion pack, and its very unlikely they'll start now. Also, the fact there is a package photo definitely suggests this isn't speculative - this is from Maxis! So, why are we proposing to delete this? --Tyron1 18:38, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Crystal ball policies specifically say that things which are notable and almost certain to happen are allowed. You might as well delete all articles on upcoming movies, games etc if you delete this. Ace of Sevens 19:38, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Well when it started, it was EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE SIMCITY 5 ARTICLE, AND IT SOMEHOW MANGED TO NOT GET DELETED, MUCH UNLIKE THE SIM CITY ARTICLE. I'll keep wanting this deleted until the SC5 article is back, because this is extremely unfair. --Moped 20:41, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
      • That was when it started. This is now. Also, I don't believe that's correct. When thsi article was started, we knew something called The Sims 2: Pets was coming, even if we didn't know exactly what it was. This was from an official E3 video. Right now, we have nothing on SimCity 5. Also, see WP:POINT. Ace of Sevens 20:51, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
      • This article is nothing like the SimCity 5 article. Its currently sourced from official sources. Maxis has made no official announcement of SimCity 5. When they do so, it can have an article too. I would also repeat that you have a look at WP:POINT as your admitted reason for putting this up for AfD shows a behaviour that isn't acceptable on wikipedia.--Crossmr 21:01, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

This site's shit. --Moped 21:29, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
