 * Delete. Brother of the 2005 Australian series winner of Big Brother and fellow contestant. However, there was an English author active in the middle of the twentieth century of that name who wrote a number of books who might merit an article.

 * Merge and Redirect Keep People will inevitably search for the name. Ans e ll  06:30, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect that's what I got from the precedent - Any individual contestant page should be merged with the series' page on sight. — M e ts 501 (talk) 13:09, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I picked up a slight extension to that, ie. any contestant without outside notability should be merged and redirected, which is why we are here essentially. Ans e ll  23:24, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect per Mets's reasoning above. --Wisd e n17 13:18, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect per Mets501 and Ansell. Inter lingua  talk 15:33, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect as per most english big brother housemates-- Ch ild zy ( Talk 19:40, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect surely. Not notable enough yet for a separate page. Centrepull 20:16, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Winner of a series and notable outside of being a BB contestant - he became first twin (along with his brother, obviously) to reach south pole. -- Chuq 23:10, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
 * If that is true they would both be notable. Do you have a reference for them completing the trek, I could only find one for them preparing for it. Ans e ll  23:38, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
 * According to the Gold Coast Bulletin, May 27, 2006, they completed the trek and became two of only seven Australians to do so. A documentary of the trip is being made for Foxtel. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 14:50, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect per Mets501. Sophy&#39;s Duckling 23:22, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect. Just zis Guy you know? 11:43, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 14:50, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep for same reasons as with his brother. I would support a merge/redirect to his brother's article though, unless something unique to him is added (and the combined article could be renamed).  But, I oppose a merge to the series article.  --Rob 05:17, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment The precedent referenced in the nomination has been challenged by multiple users and as such is not strong enough to be used as the only nomination condition. Ans e ll  06:45, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Are merge and redirects to the twin brothers article or to the main show article, considering the twins technically won first prize jointly. Ans e ll  23:40, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep, as per User:Thivierr. Grey Shadow 21:30, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect -- I@n &equiv; talk 03:52, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Do you wish to merge/redirect to Greg Mathew or Big Brother Australia series 5? I notice you voted to keep Greg Mathew, so I assume that's your preference, but am not sure.   --Rob 04:08, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm voting to merge to Big Brother Australia series 5. Greg should stay though, as the winner. Sorry for not making that clear. -- I@n &equiv; talk 04:15, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
