Legacy Challenge (The Sims 2)[edit]

It has never been fully merged with the Sims 2—neither was the redirect to avoid people reading it or re-creating it. But, anyway, the main reason is really because WP is not a how-to. Kilo-Lima ^{Vous pouvez parler} 19:02, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a how-to. Wikipedia is not Gamefaqs.com. Wikipedia is not for challenges for PC games you just make up one day. However, there is an interview by the Sims2 community on this. If evidence of more mainstream attention can be provided, I'll change my mind, but at this time, delete. -- Saberwyn 20:53, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- ~~I would be satisfied with a slight merge (a paragraph or two and an external link max) to the Sims 2 article, if consensus leans that way. -- Saberwyn 09:18, 19 March 2006 (UTC)~~ Actually, no, I wouldn't, per Idont Havaname and others. -- Saberwyn 21:09, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge, per the original VfD (Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Legacy Challenge (The Sims 2); that was 5 votes to merge, 4 to keep). Melissa Della 22:38, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, the Legacy challenge concept is extremely popular. Check the [2 Website] and other popular Sims websites to see how many people are doing this. Even if they aren't following the rules the legacy concept of following many generations of Sims is very popular. That said, the topic does need to be cleaned up to more about what Legacies are as opposed to how to play one properly. --Ryuukuro 04:53, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This AfD is being relisted to generate a clearer consensus. Please add new discussion below this notice. Thanks!
In light of the previous AfD, and in the interest of getting it right rather than just closing the AfD, I'm relisting to allow for a more clear consensus to be reached.W.marsh 01:36, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per Melissa Della. Bobby1011 02:24, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, WP is not gamefaqs. If it's really that widespread among Sims 2 fans, a small mention in the main Sims 2 article is fine, but not the whole list of rules. BryanG 04:14, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as crufty, crufty fancruft. It's also a how-to guide and original research for playing a game within a game. Brian G. Crawford 16:37, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This has been around since almost the release of Sims 2. Sould not be merged as the main page is already quite long. -- JJay 17:38, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, WP:NOT an instruction manual. Length of time an article has existed is irrelevant to deletion policy. Deizio 18:37, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I've been playing The Sims 2 somewhat regularly since it came out and know the fansite community pretty well, but I've never seen the Legacy Challenge mentioned anywhere but on this website and the official Sims 2 website. This article just screams fancruft, or at least forumcruft. --Idont Havaname (Talk) 22:17, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Instead, place a link to the Official site[[1]] on The Sims 2 page. --Adam 07:46, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
