Power of Veto (Big Brother)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This article has a section labelled trivia - oh the irony! The whole thing is trivia. It either needs to be merged, or (much better) deleted. This is just a plot device used in the Big Brother franchise in one market, it really is staggeringly unimportant outside of that very restricted locus. Guy (Help!) 08:41, 6 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete and don't even merge. In my opinion it's covered succinctly enough at Big Brother (US). • 97198  talk  09:45, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete this does not require it's own article - no opportunity for expansion. Covered as per 97198 Pedro | Chat  10:59, 6 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete per all of the above. Just mention what "Power of veto" does in the main BB article, and that's enough. Wikipedia should not contain every little detail of everything that has ever happened. User: (talk • contribs • count) - Review me! 11:05, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete It's covered in the main Big Brother article in all the depth it deserves.  Pursey  Talk 15:38, 6 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep Actually I vote to keep the article. The "Power of Veto" is used in two different Big Brother versions not only the United States. The "Power of Veto" is mentioned in the Big Brother (US) page it does not go into detail about it. There is a small trivia section, oh wow small it can be either integrated into the main article or removed simple. And could someone tell me how it is covered enough in Big Brother (US)? It only mentions the basic use of the Veto. I vote to keep this because it can be written in such a manner it is encyclopedic and informative. The trivia can be removed, plus the fact it is used in two different versions of Big Brother not only the US version. Granted right now it mainly is written for the US version that too can be fixed. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 16:53, 6 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete Even though I am a contributor to this, and most Big Brother pages, I am voting to delete this page, as most (if not all) of the information that this page contains is duplicate information already found on the main Big Brother (US) and/or the articles for the individual seasons of the show. Sorry. - Rjd0060 19:24, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete completely trivial information, and this "thing" is lacking any real world notability Corpx 22:06, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Merge there is very little here that couldn't be integrated into the BB US article. It's possible the subject is notable enough for it's own article, I don't have enough knowledge of Big Brother in the US, but the article doesn't establish that, and in it's current state adds very little to Wikipedia as a whole.

 * Weak keep, better to Merge to the BB US article. It's a very integral part of the US BB show, it deserves something, if not its own page, then merge it with the major artcile. - Jeeny Talk 23:11, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge there are some things that can be merged into the actual Big Brother article such as the most vetoes a person won (not the whole list just people that won more then 1 maybe more then 2) and some other stuff.24.1.180.220 21:44, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge The Power of Veto article on the Big Brother page does not adequately explain the rules of the POV. It doesn't explain how the rules have changed over the years, having major effects on each season. Example: For many years, all players competed. Then they changed it so three players were picked. Then they changed it to a random drawing for three. These rules changed the way the game was played. The Power of Veto doesn't need it's own page, it just needs to be explained properly on the Big Brother page -- right now, it is not properly explained. It is a major component of the game. I don't know whose job it is, but I'd gladly merge the info onto the main page and someone with authority can delete the other one.--Teehee11 21:52, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge if at all. I'm a BB fan and even I can't see the need for this much information -- the rules, perhaps, and how they've changed over time could be in the article, but this is cruft. Accounting4Taste 19:07, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
