[edit] The Sims Resource

Non-notable website, prod tag apparently removed by site founder. Objectivist-C 19:29, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - Maxis has mentioned the site quite a few times, and they have gotten a interview with the news back with the Hot Coffee contro: You know, reporters asking the '31337 modderzzzz' about it. I'll try and dig it up. --Avillia 19:38, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:WEB. Stifle (talk) 16:01, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. As far as Maxis is concerned, the site is well recognized and is listed as a top fansite in the Maxis website. Maxis had also conducted an interview with the site's operator (likely prior to the release of Sims 2 in 2004), which is available here. That's all that I can dig up. ╫ ２５ ^{◀RingADing▶} 12:19, 23 April 2006 (UTC) ╫
• Relisting; this hasn't moved in 7 days. No vote. Alphax ^τεχ 00:48, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as non-notable website. Brian G. Crawford 00:53, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
• Comment - Alexa rank of 7,938 and the comment from ２５ give this at least some faint smell of notability. I'd call it gamecruft though. - Hirudo 02:44, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. This isn't just some ol' fansite. I'd vote to delete a vanity article for a non-notable fansite in the blink of an eye. This site, however, is one of the (if not THE) best known non-official websites for this insanely popular game. --Icarus 06:46, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. This site deserves a mention in the Sims article, but not an article in its own right. I see so many fan sites up on AfD, most of them should really just be mentions on the article of their subject. Nothing wrong in redirecting it there. TH 08:25, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
• Merge to The Sims/link from The Sims 2. Much of the content of the article seems to be the site T+Cs, which aren't needed on WP. —Whouk (talk) 08:57, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
• Merge to The Sims/link from The Sims 2 as above. DavidH 09:29, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
• Merge as per TH. Lundse 10:53, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
• Merge into The Sims. --Eivind^t@c 12:07, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete or failing that, Merge per Whouk. Kuzaar 12:37, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
