Maxwell Ward
As with Orlaith McAllister he doesn't have any existence / reason to be here outside BB(UK) series 6 and that is where information about him should remain. Delete as non notable. --Vamp:Willow 20:25, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Big Brother UK series 6. The JPS 20:48, 16 July 2005 (UTC) Merge and Redirect to  Big Brother UK series 6 until more can be written about him than "he is a contestant." Keeping until the end of the series is pointless without encyclopaedic content. The JPS 10:00, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep until the end of the series then Merge. Are we going to have a vote for delition for EVERY BB6 housemate? He's certainly a notable person in the United Kingdom, if you asked anybody in the street who he was then they'd almost certainly know (even those who don't watch Big Brother), it's not like he's invisible or unknown even if there isn't a lot to write about him- if this was the case in America then there's no doubt that this article would be kept. However, when Big Brother finishes and he drifts out of the public eye, it'll be the right time to merge him in with the Big Brother article- this has also been the standard way of doing things for other BB(UK) series.--195.92.168.166 23:33, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect as before. If someone can find more to write about him than his antics in BB6 then all is well but as it stands (other than his DOB and football team), there is no information there. It isn't even like it's well written. --Celestianpower talk 11:40, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect all of them except Derek Laud who was a known political figure before becoming a contestant and I imagine will be again afterwards. There is nothing notable about any of the rest. Mrsteviec 11:56, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, or at least merge and redirect. He is not particularly notable, and I found the article to be less than encyclopædic. IINAG
 * QUOTE: 'ask anyone in the street who he was then they'd almost certainly know (even those who don't watch Big Brother),' No that's the biggest load of rubbish ever. I've forgotten who he is already, and I've watched the show from the beginning. Redirect
 * Keep - He is known all over the UK!!

There was already a discussion taking place on Talk:Big Brother UK series 6 concerning merging all of these articles. Since there was no objection there, and since the consensus on VFD seems to be redirect, I have been bold and merged and redirected all of the individual contestant articles (except Derek Laud). &mdash;Stormie 21:40, July 29, 2005 (UTC)
