Celebrity Big Brother (UK series 5)
The article is about a television series that, if it actually goes ahead, won't be happening until January. talk to JD wants e-mail 00:34, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep So what if it wont be going ahead till January. It is still going ahead and therefore, along with all the other Big Brother articles, deserves an entry Jezabelda 24 August 2006, 01:37
 * The article has no new information in it that isn't already elsewhere, and it's unsourced. WP:V  talk to JD wants e-mail 00:43, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep - the article is not speculative. It is about a future event. The fact that it's about a future event does not make it speculative. The article is about a notable subject that belongs in wikipedia. - Richardcavell 01:10, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * If a source can be provided that says that this series of Big Brother is actually happening, I'll withdraw this AfD nomination and start discussion on the article's talk page. talk to JD wants e-mail 01:13, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment I found this which mentions the "next" Celebrity Big Brother in January.


 * However, the site is going nowhere - Big Brother UK Website - and definitely the Big Brother Forums - will remain online for the foreseeable future, so you can expect to find us online in a brand new format (which is being kept under wraps for now!) in January for the next series of Celebrity Big Brother!


 * Not much left for us to say, apart from may the best housemate win and thanks to all of you lot for your continued support and for visiting the site and choosing us as your choice for everything Big Brother! See you in January! --Wafulz 01:30, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * How reliable is that? talk to JD wants e-mail 01:31, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I honestly couldn't tell you- they seem to be a very well established website that's been running since the show's premier in 2000. However, they're not marked "official" anywhere that I can see. --Wafulz 01:41, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Merge into Big Brother (UK). Half of the article is unsourced speculation; Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. The only real fact here is a date, which doesn't need an article of its own to mention. It can be split off into its own article when more information (such as who is participating) becomes available. Extraordinary Machine 03:09, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. As the long-running program is already clearly notable - I think info regarding a confirmed upcoming series of the show is also notable. It will be not much more than a stub for a few months, but I don't think that really matters as the article clearly will grow. The info on the page does need to be cited though.CindyLooWho 03:21, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep if and only if a properly cited source can be provided during the duration of this AfD discussion; otherwise merge and redirect to Big Brother (UK) until confirmation of the show's go-ahead. --Stormie 05:29, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete for now, the article curtrently is speculative having no sources. And adds nothing to WIkipedia. WHen dates are confirmed or Davina is confirmed as being contracted to do it (with sourcing) then it can come back. For now it is just pointless --Errant Tmorton166(Talk)(Review me) 09:26, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. Fairly certain to go ahead, but this might be a harbinger of overenthusiastic editors making articles many series in advance. Jefffire 10:13, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Temporary Delete it does currently fail 'wikipedia is not a crystal ball. - Blood red sandman 10:45, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete and re-create when it's officially confirmed and appropriate citations can be given. -- AnemoneProjectors (talk) 18:11, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete as far as I can make out, there is no verifiable information about this possible future series, and wikipedia is not a crystal ball. An article can be made when there's actually some information to be put in it. Robotforaday 18:49, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. There are plenty of future events that are very likely to occur; that doesn't mean we need to create placeholder articles for them before any official information is available.  This is an encyclopedia.  That means reliable information comes first, and then we write the article.  Those who want to speculate, kindly go and speculate somewhere appropriate.  That is, somewhere not here.  &mdash; Haeleth Talk 19:02, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete as above; WP is not a crystal ball, and this contains no information that a link to the other articles on the series would not provide. We lose nothing by leaving this space blank until there is such a series, and something to say about it. JCScaliger 20:29, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment Davinia McCall said at the end of BB7 "See you in January for Celebrity", I believe. HornetMike 21:14, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete without prejudice. As it stands, this is a crystal ball, but if an official confirmation that this is in production is found it would be fine. BryanG(talk) 22:01, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, this should not be used as a reason for deletion when the information is found or the show comes into existence. JCScaliger 22:04, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete but only for now. There are articles on individual Big Brother seasons, of course, but my feeling is it's a bit premature. Make sure it's mentioned at the main BB article, and when the show actually goes forward (as in there's information beyond speculation to print) then by all means recreate it. An exception would be if for some reason the new season becomes somehow noteworthy before broadcast (such as the controversy that has erupted regarding the yet-to-be-broadcast new edition of US Survivor.) 23skidoo 22:27, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - article is almost entirely speculative. -- Whpq 00:55, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - If it has not been confirmed yet then it should not be an article yet, it's the same reason the PlayStation 4 article was delete a few weeks ago. TJ Spyke 01:17, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - There is nothing wrong with articles on TV series whose airdates are pending, they provide useful information. I only wish this one cited sources. Allon FambrizziAllon Fambrizzi
 * If they haven't confirmed this season yet then it should not have a page, that is the same policy that applies to movies/video games/other stuff that hasn't been confirmed. TJ Spyke 03:08, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
