The House Next Door (Big Brother)
Not worthy of its own article - it's an article about a single room that was used in two weeks of a reality television series. If not delete, it should be merged. JD [ don't talk|email ] 13:21, 27 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment This was originally a section in Big Brother (UK series 7). It was split off because the article is getting too long. See here for discussion about the housemates article, which was split off for the same reason. Disclosure: I have edited that article, and other related Big Brother articles Tra (Talk) 13:43, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * That discussion was about a different section of the article; and there wasn't even consensus to split that section. Why would there be consensus to split this section when nobody's been consulted?  — JD [ don't talk|email ] 13:44, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * You're right, hopefully a consensus either way will be generated by this AfD. There is still the problem of the Big Brother (UK series 7) article being too long. If this section isn't split off, maybe some other section needs to be split instead. The only other sections that look suitable for splitting off are Chronology, Title sequence and Criticism. Title sequence looks a bit small to stand on its own and Wikipedia generally doesn't have Criticism of... articles. Maybe Chronology would be another option for splitting? Tra (Talk) 14:13, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * ARGH!!! Do you know how many times I've suggested that?  There's mixed opinions on it though.  The Chronology was split twice early on, and although there was a consensus to keep the page that went up for deletion, it still got deleted.  Looking at it now, the page as it was did have a bit too much detail; but people still won't agree to just split the chronology.  If you want to bring it up again on the BB7 UK talk page and see what sort of response you get, feel free (as if I'd want to try to stop anybody from doing anything).  -- JD [ don't talk|email ] 14:16, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, it might be a good idea to have another discussion about the Chronology...perhaps at the end of the series? With the House Next Door, however, it isn't really notable on its own, but in the context of Big Brother, it is quite notable. You get the same kind of dilemma with the other split-off articles — with the nominations table, for example, a group of people nominating each other over a period of several weeks isn't notable, but if they're in the Big Brother house, it is notable. Tra (Talk) 14:48, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Should we merge this back then, or do you still want to see how this AfD goes? -- JD [ don't talk|email ] 15:18, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I think we should continue the AfD and get some more opinions because, as you said, there isn't really much of a consensus yet. Tra (Talk) 15:27, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay then. -- JD [ don't talk|email ] 15:38, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * We have one for the Secret Garden, and that wasn't used that long, so why should this be deleted? It helps cut down on article length in the main article and this article can be expanded in more detail now that it's seperate. I think we should kep it. Geoking66 18:15, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * The secret garden has its own article? Where?  -- JD [ don't talk|email ] 18:16, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Here Tra (Talk) 18:25, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I put merge tags on it, as I don't see the point in it having its own article. — JD [ don't talk|email ] 18:30, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - the main article is not too long if we keep trivial events and such out. See the example at the Chronology section. &mdash;Cel es tianpower háblame 22:39, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, no merge. What's in the article currently is perfectly adequate. It's just cruft - one room in a reality TV show? Please... &mdash;Cel es tianpower háblame 22:39, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Yes, the article is pretty much a duplicate of the Chronology section, but reworded and focussing on the house next door. We don't need the same information twice. Tra (Talk) 13:56, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree, this information should be merged in the Chronology section of the main Big Brother UK series 7 article. Adw2000 14:21, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
