Big Brother Australia 2007

I think this is just a tad premature; the only information available at the moment is that there is going to be a seventh season of Big Brother Australia, and that it's happening in 2007. _JD^talk 11:47, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. MER-C 11:52, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is not crystal ball gazing. We have verifiable evidence and high certainty that the show will happen. If you read the guidelines you have referenced, the article does not violate them. eg

"All articles about anticipated events must be verifiable": It is verifiable. References are in the article.
"Individual scheduled or expected future events should only be included if the event is notable and almost certain to take place": The event is notable (same as all other BB series) and is almost certain to take place (media releases indicate that it will take place, and auditions are currently underway). -- Barrylb 12:17, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per above. It's just slightly too early for this article yet. When there's more information available it can be re-created. Jayden54 12:04, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral. It says slightly more than the fact it's happening. It also mentions the channels and details about the auditions, though I agree it's not much. - Mgm|^(talk) 12:15, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - We know with high certainty that the show will happen and this article will be needed sooner or later. Given that the auditions are underway there is some useful information to include in the article. -- Barrylb 12:17, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete until we know more than is currently the case. It's a near-run thing, since with auditions and the like we're pretty much talking about something that will happen, but I'd really prefer there to be more than just the bare fact of auditions right at the moment. When rumours start surfacing that one of the housemates is going to be a bionic chimp or something (and can be duly sourced), then there'll be a good basis for an article.

Delete per nom & becouse its a crap show. DXRAW 04:39, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. It may be a crap show - I have not seen it - but this is not a deletion reason as the argument is about the article, not the show; but the other reasons given above are valid.--Anthony.bradbury 00:13, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So true. In the Netherlands the most recent BB edition had something like 300,000 viewers. Any other show would've been cancelled with ratings like this. I'm still waiting... Mgm|^(talk) 10:01, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Auditions for this show are currently underway that makes it a current event, named for 2007 - when it will go to air. But it has started already. Ga rr ie 00:59, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Given that auditions are already underway, there is verifiable information available. Big Brother will be on air so that the article will have to be rewritten in six months. Capitalistroadster 01:19, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - By the time it would get deleted there will probably be more information, it is a current event and has to start somewhere, after last season this one is likely to be very controversial before it even starts. If it gets deleted it will just have to be rewritten soon anyway. Firelement85 05:44, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - More information will come to hand soon, and because auditions have started and that their is a refrence that states this series will air this article should stay. -- Whats new? (Talk) 14:56, 30 November 2006 (AEDST)
Keep - apparently Sydney auditions were in November 2006 and Melbourne auditions begin 2 Dec 2006. There's a skeleton of current information on the page, it is referenced, and it is inevitable that this page will be created within the next few months. There's worse pages in WP. Why delete this now when someone will need to reinstate all of what was deleted some time later? Asa01 06:15, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Capitalistroadster and others. It's verifiable and will just need to be rewritten so lets just keep it. Sarah Ewart 02:47, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The auditions have started and production has been given the "green light" which makes it a scheduled event. 3rd December 2006
