Controversy and criticism of Big Brother (UK)

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

Seems to copy, practically verbatim, information that is better used as parts of the articles they describe. I don't believe there is any need for this article and it looks like a content fork to me.  weburiedoursecretsinthe garden  19:45, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge relevent, referecned, and not-WP:UNDUE-violating content to relevent individual season articles, and redirect this article to Big Brother (UK). --Jayron32. talk . say no to drama  19:51, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * It's pretty much already there anyway but I suppose it would be worth checking.  weburiedoursecretsinthe garden  19:53, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, then just redirect it then... --Jayron32. talk . say no to drama 20:00, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, I mean, the information in the article is taken pretty much directly from the individual articles (BB1, BB4, BB6, whatever) and thus redirecting isn't really an option.  weburiedoursecretsinthe garden  15:30, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep. Normally I'm wary of controversy/criticism articles, but everything included in this article seems to be events that were high-profile at the time. Not sure if this is the best way to convey the information though. It might be better to summarise all of the controversial events into prose and have links to the events in each individual series, and the summary may or may not fit better in the main Big Brother article.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete show trivia best left at individual series articles. Ohconfucius (talk) 03:48, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. I've changed my mind due to Chris Neville-Smith. As one of the most controversial programmes on TV, I think this should be kept. DJ 00:21, 19 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge honestly better off inside the show's article itself ( talk→  BWilkins   ←track ) 18:23, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * keep well sourced article that deserves it's seperate existance. Artw (talk) 18:05, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Perhaps it needs to be structured better, but as one of the most controversial television programs in Britain, it certainly should be kept. I mean, if a show like Torchwood can have its own criticism article, then Big Brother certainly deserves one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mosherdude91 (talk • contribs) 15:37, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
