Big Brother New Zealand

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

There is no credible source confirming this edition. I have searched the net and there is still no articles about a New Zealand version of Big Brother. See Articles for deletion/Big Brother NZ 2009/2010 also.  ♪♫Al ucard   16♫♪  03:48, 15 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep. It does exist. Just let us find some sources. --Automatic Tiger (talk) 04:03, 15 May 2009 (UTC) — Automatic Tiger (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Keep I agree. This is a very notable version of Big Brother. --Riding Gentleman (talk) 04:04, 15 May 2009 (UTC) — Riding Gentleman (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Keep I cannot believe that this was even tagged for deletion. --The Dark Knight Of Yesterday (talk) 04:04, 15 May 2009 (UTC) — The Dark Knight Of Yesterday (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Note--you boys (I assume that's a boy tiger) need to mask that puppeteering a bit better. Admin, please scrap a couple of these votes. Oh, "let us find some sources"--that, rather than inventing user names, is time well spent. Drmies (talk) 04:07, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Geez boys. Don't you know that puppeteering should be masked??!! However, I vote keep as well. --The Creep In the Attic (talk) 04:27, 15 May 2009 (UTC) — The Creep In the Attic (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Keep Yes, you should keep this article. --Man Who Makes Pots (talk) 04:27, 15 May 2009 (UTC) — Man Who Makes Pots (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Delete per nom. Drmies (talk) 04:36, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete even the television station that supposedly will be carrying doesn't know about it which is HIGHLY unlikely. Also, see this Drawn Some (talk) 04:48, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:CRYSTAL and per the lack of verifiability. Cunard (talk) 06:39, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Why does this AFD remind me of my sock drawer? Delete, the only results I've found in web searches are TV listings in New Zealand for the Aussie Big Brother, and a forum post stating how they won't get their own version. New Zealand:Australia::Canada:USA in this way, not that that has much to do with this discussion. Nosleep  break my slumber 07:07, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Big Brother New Zealand IS upcoming this article SHOULD NOT BE DELETED --BigBrotherFan09 —Preceding undated comment added 09:48, 15 May 2009 (UTC). — BigBrotherFan09 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Delete. If it ain't in the Herald, it ain't happening. The only references to Big Brother I found were related to the Beehive - not quite reality TV. Cheers, This flag once was redpropagandadeeds 11:54, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't think I have ever seen socking this blatant. It is amusing that they didn't even bother to turn their talk and user pages into blue links. Obvious delete due to lack of any verifiable content/likely hoax. The   Seeker 4   Talk  12:33, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I have filed a case with WP:SPI, though I am unsure who the puppeteer is (even User:OMGOMG2009, the creator of the article being discussed here, seems to be a SPA). Nosleep  break my slumber 12:46, 15 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - no reliable sources. Mind you I don't think you need more to chine in, not with an entire drawer of socks to content with. Canterbury Tail   talk  12:55, 15 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete as blatant crystal ball-ery. B figura  (talk) 15:48, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete- Man, there are so many puppets I feel like I'm at a Jeff Dunham show. Anyway, it's a pure case of WP:CRYSTAL, with a lack of sources.-- SKATER  T. 16:21, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:CRYSTAL. Unreferenced. McWomble (talk) 16:22, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of New Zealand-related deletion discussions.  -- kelapstick (talk) 17:33, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as vandalism. FYI, other editions of Big Brother have rated poorly in New Zealand and is no longer screened on any of the major free-to-air channels. A NZ-produced version is highly unlikely.dramatic (talk) 19:00, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete & Deep Six - hoax, lies, not true, fibs, falsehoods, tallest tale this side of Waikikamukau, and it ain't gonna happen. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 01:34, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. No, no, no, no, no. Just no. In case I hadn't made it clear enough, no! The blatant sockpuppetry is amusing- inventive usernames! In all seriousness, though, there is nothing even remotely reliable that even suggests that anybody is even thinking about considering possibly contemplating making this. Alternatively, we could rename it "The NZ Big Brother Hoax" and keep it for amusement value! HJMitchell    You rang?  20:11, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
