The result was delete and redirect to The Sims. No clear argument was given why this subject is worthy of content in this or any article. The title, however, appears ot be a viable search term. lifebaka++ 01:01, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Totally, completely unnotable. Minor characters in the Sims with no evidence of notability. TallNapoleon (talk) 02:00, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Not big enough for its own article. That and if there were going to be an article covering this stuff, there should be an article about all characters of The Sims listed into one list with summaries. Plus, this article violates the consensus of the editors covering The Sims articles anyway. Mythdon (talk) 02:26, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to The Sims as per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mortimer Goth. Little Red Riding Hoodtalk 02:48, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to The Sims. No notability outside that universe. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 03:01, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete and salt - not notable because there aren't reliable third-party sources that verify anything significant here. Also appears to be an effort to circumvent Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Canon Sims Characters which was closed as delete less than 3 weeks ago.

• Redirect or delete appears to be an attempt to end-run around several recent AfD decisions. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:00, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as a sublist of List of Canon Sims Characters, which was deemed not encyclopedic a few weeks ago (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Canon Sims Characters). – sgeureka ^t•c 14:05, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: Just a related note, the same editor also created Sims canon characters, which follows the exact same style and suffers from all the same problems. Doesn't seem to be related to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Canon Sims Characters though, it was created before the AfD, not after. -- Sabre (talk) 17:11, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to The Sims as with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mortimer Goth and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bella Goth (2nd nomination). Viable search term. Muzemike (talk) 20:56, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, goth family is a adjective-noun clause that could refer to many families, and a real life surname, hence is not an appropriate redirect term.Yobmod (talk) 12:23, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge and redirect per MuZemike as notable or move to Goth Family (The Sims). No reason for an article on the subject of an ongoing series, which means additional sources could realistically turn up, to be "salted". As far as past of these goes, consensus can change. --63.3.1.1 (talk) 14:54, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
