This article is a mess-there's a section already at Big Brother 2009 (UK) about the cast and everything else here is trivia and indiscriminate info. I know that most BBs have HMS articles but that doesn't make it any better/worse. Chandlerchester (talk) 09:52, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep It is a content fork, spun out to stop the main article from becoming too large, and all the BBUK programs have them. The essential details are referenced, if the user wants to trim out any trivia (outside of the events of the program) then there is nothing to stop them. FWiW when the article was created I suggested a section that gave the details of the housemates to avoid this article but the consensus was for its creation. If the editor can change the housemates section to include all the information in this article and make this article redundant then I would reconsider my vote.

 * Keep, like what Darren said, this keeps the article from being too long. --Dude (talk) 03:21, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Being "a mess" isn't a reason to delete an article. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 03:24, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per Darren and others. No reason to delete this just because it needs a bit of attention. I know from the work I did on the 2008 list that there are usually tons of useful referencee for BB and its housemates, so this could be turned into a great article - all it needs is the unreferenced stuff to be confirmed with third party sources or removed if that's not possible.

 * Keep, as otherwise people will start writing articles about the individual housemates. Stifle (talk) 21:13, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
