While I will say that Drodo's post was a bit hostile and not fully entirely constructive, I agree with his ideas and oppose removing the articles in question. I think that it is always better to have too much of something rather than too little, and that we should strive to deliver the fullest and highest-quality information that we can provide to our audiences.

We could easily cut out all of the non-Spore related stuff on the Will Wright article and link to Wikipedia's article, but that would remove a lot of context from the information that would be left and it would be more inconvenient for the site's viewers to have to load another page to read more. Not everyone has lightning-fast Internet mind you, and the more inclusive our resources are, the better.

Also, the problem I find with a general-information site like Wikipedia is that, being a general-information site, it cannot go into the level of detail that a more focused site like ours is designed to do; I'd wager Will Wright is more notable for the Spore community than the general Internet public (not to say that he's not noteworthy in his own right, that is). With the role he played in Spore's development he deserves at least his own page. Perhaps we don't need articles for every which developer that worked on Spore - I'd agree with that. But to cut back in any way on the quality of any of our current knowledge base would be a disservice.

tl;dr I oppose this move because I would rather we have more information available than is needed rather than sell the readers short.
