Talk:Simolean

RFV discussion: September 2017–February 2018
Fictional currency in Sims games (also its alt form Simoleon; hey, can't Maxis spell their own game currency?). These are all the same game franchise, therefore I don't consider it analogous to e.g. zorkmid, which broke out of the Zork universe and can be found in NetHack. I think it needs to pass WT:FICTION or something... Equinox ◑ 23:40, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

I don't know enough about the area to judge, but I certainly see it uncapitalized a lot:



Seeing as the uncapitalized version is slang for a dollar, what would a version of this outside the Sims universe look like anyway? Kiwima (talk) 03:31, 19 October 2017 (UTC)

Does being uncapitalized grant weight to the genericity of a word under WT:FICTION? I know it helps establish that a trademark has become generic, but I don't see anything in WT:FICTION on this. Khemehekis (talk) 01:27, 6 November 2017 (UTC)


 * There's also use of an uncapitalised version that refers to neither the in-game currency nor to a real one.

- He mumbled, “Them tharrr green moolah coins be a hundred points apiece, an’ them tharrr black simolean coins be fifty points. That tharrr be 400 points. Arr, waaay too much.”


 * But it could just be a play on the slang for dollar. Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 13:03, 14 November 2017 (UTC)


 * I think you are finding spelling mistakes for simoleon. Equinox ◑ 20:40, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Good point! Or possibly -ean is a rare alternative spelling. Anyway, it seems like the capitalized and Sims-specific term fails, but possibly the uncapitalized form can be kept as some kind of variant form of simoleon. - -sche (discuss) 05:18, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
