List of participants in special editions of Big Brother[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This is a compilation of information from three articles. Not only is "special editions" not defined but most of the information is already on the main articles. As such it is a triple content fork. The new information is in the form of tables, all of which could easily be incorporated on the main articles. Darrenhusted (talk) 16:59, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This article is currently nominated for FL status. This article is part of a set, alongside List of Celebrity Big Brother housemates (already an FL) and List of Big Brother (UK) housemates. Conglomerative lists are also a regular feature in other parts of Wikipedia - see List of Ugly Betty episodes for just one example. Therefore, a precedent has been set that said articles should exist. The fact that these are special editions of the programme is sourced and an AFD is not the place to take an article if you disagree with its title.

Problem is that the "list of..." for TV programmes is usually transcluded from individual season pages, the information is not a content fork. This article is just repeating the information from the individual programs when those articles are so short they could easily accommodate the extra tables, that you have given the article a B-class grade and then nominated it for FL does not mean that the article has any merit, especially as at this point you are the sole contributor. I don't think it should be an FL, that is why I have nominated it for deletion. Darrenhusted (talk) 19:50, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also it has been removed from FL assessment. Darrenhusted (talk) 13:00, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
