Big Brother 18 (U.S.)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Very clear case of being too soon, as there is only a single reference, and all that is is an announcement that the show was renewed for 2 more seasons, i.e. the current 17 and next year's 18; if there's nothing else to say about an upcoming season other than "it was renewed", then it should remain a redirect until such time as concrete details are announced, which based on past seasons will be sometime in Spring 2016. This is a recurring issue; see where Big Brother 17 was created Oct 1st 2014, it is removed as being too soon, and recreated May 9th 2015 once there is actual substance to report. Every year, overzealous new users insist on creating the article now, now now, it is regrettable that we have to come to AfD, but several of these users refuse to participate in the talk page discussion, so here we are.

 * Redirect to Big Brother (U.S. TV series) - It's the same with the UK - They get created early so they're just redirected until a few months before it airs, personally don't see the point in deletion as obviously someone will recreate it. – Davey 2010 Talk 22:19, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm not opposed to a redirect, but since we're dealing with IP users and a WP:SPA who revert and do not participate in the talk page, going the AfD route is the only way to get a redirect cemented IMO. Tarc (talk) 23:35, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Nope you're bang on - If you redirected you would've probably got reverted so you done good coming here :) – Davey 2010 Talk 15:07, 14 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Big Brother (U.S. TV series): the subject isn't notable at present and there are only 3 1/2 sentences that contain information about the 18th season. — Bilorv(talk)(c)(e) 10:59, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
