George Galloway's appearance on Celebrity Big Brother

 * Delete. Most of the infomation here is trivial and un-encyclopedic. Sources are few and far between. Galloway didn't win the competition, nor did he do anything extremely controversial. I'm suprised this article has lasted this long. Dalejenkins 18:08, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge Can we merge it with the Big Brother article? Corpx 19:23, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Celebrity Big Brother 2006 (UK) would probably be the best article to merge it to, or perhaps George Galloway. The only problem with merging it with Celebrity Big Brother 2006 (UK) is that it might make the article heavily weighted in favour of just one contestant. Perhaps this could be solved by trimming down unnecessary details after the merge? Tra (Talk) 19:38, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge about a paragraph worth to Celebrity Big Brother 2006 (UK) in the controversies section. There was clearly coverage of his time in the house but three or four sentences is plenty. Otto4711 19:40, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Needs quite a trim to remove irrelevant content.Depending on how much is left, either Merge (I'd suggest to George Galloway) or Keep. An active Member of Parliament appearing on Big Brother was controversial in itself, and gives GG's opponents an easy comeback for years to come. Paulbrock 20:21, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * As the article was originally split from George Galloway, I'd suggest merging it there, although it was split because it was too large, so perhaps a weak keep from me. &mdash; AnemoneProjectors (zomg!) 22:57, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Suggest merging with the George Galloway article, with a stub cross-ref placed within the CBB2006 article, thus covering both bases. Not an auto-delete, although notorious rather than notable. -- SockpuppetSamuelson 06:44, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Television-related deletions.   -- John Vandenberg 09:07, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep the subject was notable, and because he is an active politician received coverage in different areas from most BB stuff. As Paulbrock says, no other politician will ever allow him to forget it, so the article will be needed for some years to come. Johnbod 11:52, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, though he's an MP, this is not encyclopedic material. -- Steve Hart 14:51, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep The event is notable, I've seen British newspapers repeatedly mentioning it in 2006. However, it does need more sources.--Kylohk 21:38, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete Same as others above.
