Keep, because I have updated it to be a real article, including some sourced information. -- Melissa Della 16:06, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I still don't see how this is more than speculation of some website, based on two words on other company websites. All that can be verified now is that rumors exist (and they don't seem to be notable, important rumors yet). Kusma (討論) 19:39, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - As an industry watcher, the listing publicly that they are working on TS3 means that the game is definitely in early production even if EA has not released a press statement yet. If the consensus is to delete, I'm fine with that, because I know the article will be back the moment further information is released. I just don't see what the need is to delete in the meantime. Simple as that. -- Melissa Della 07:09, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Sims 3

Wow, I don't even really think this has been really verified at all. the only "source" is when an EA exec simply mentioned it in a single sentence in an article talking about something else. Many speculation if you ask me. WP is not a crystal ball. By the way, 26,200,000 Google hits, for some reason an extremely large amount of them being Sims 2 or general Sims not "The Sims 3", and the TS3 stuff is fan speculation. Red Pooka 03:49, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Speculative at this point, search with quotes [1] returns far fewer results. Only a vague rumour to go on. "In development" could really mean anything, and until we start seeing press releases, this doesn't need an article. --Crossmr 03:51, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, one simple hint that the game is to be released is not enough to merit its own article, yet. Keep deleted until, like comments outlined in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/SimCity 5 (working title), reliable and more detailed information about Sims 3 comes out. The way I see it, that probably won't happen in the near future in this case, allowing unverifiable speculation to move in the interval. This is not an article worth keeping for now. ╫ ２５ ^{◀RingADing▶} 10:15, 24 November 2006 (UTC) ╫[reply]

Keep We can just add info as it comes. Maybe lock the article up, when a press release is released open it back up for edits. Bettyfizzw 15:12, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
comment as I pointed out on The Sims 2: Life Stories AFD, this isn't proper procedure for handling an article. Locking is only to be used in the case of persistent edit warring or vandalism.--Crossmr 17:30, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete this is quite far in the future in gaming terms and could turn out as vapourware. Even though it's likely that Maxis will continue with their highly successful franchise, we should only really start working on a game-in-development article when we've at least got more proof (preferably in the form of the existence of an alpha or beta build). Even though I'm usually an inclusionist, I think this is simply too early for an article --Rambutaan 01:17, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this article was originally created a long, long time ago when the game was simply announced before any form of information was known. It got out of control and was deleted and protected from recreation. Now the game has been revealed and informations, videos and screenshots of the game have been shown and the game now warrants it's own article and no longer needs to be protected. .:Alex :. 17:11, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
