As per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Big Brother (British series 19) housemates, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Big Brother Canada houseguests (season 1) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Big Brother (Australian TV series) season 1 housemates, the general consensus is that pretty much every contestant is non notable, contains an undue level of biographical profiling and fails WP:LISTPEOPLE. Secondly, the amalgamated list, without all of the profiling, can be found under List of Big Brother (American TV series) houseguests or List of Celebrity Big Brother (American TV series) houseguests and links to the very few notable names can be accessed from there.

I'm split here:
- Delete all civilian season lists but
- Keep all celebrity season lists. ALL of the celebrities that participated in the celebrity series successfully meets WP:Lists of people by meeting Wikipedia's notability guideline.

Comment @TheDoctorWho: These lists were created years ago as a stop-gap because the season articles were growing too big in size and they all are pretty much WP:FANCRUFT recapping what each individual did inside the House. We really don't need the celebrity lists either as they are all notable on their own and each celebrity has their own individual articles. For the celebrities their appearances and accomplishments outside of Big Brother are listed in their main articles so there really isn't a need for the individual season lists. With the consolidation of the infoboxes and every article now using the table format for the contestants lists and sections like this have become redundant.

While the celebrities are notable for their fame outside of the Big Brother reality show, their individual antics are NOT, for the few that are can be expressed on their own BLP or on the series' article. Ajf773 (talk) 10:39, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all I've avoid commenting on these articles because I've been "meh" on the subject but after thinking about it we don't need articles recapping what the contestants did in the game. That's what the season article is for. For a more detailed profile on each contestant with WP:TRIVIA and WP:FANCRUFT readers can go to Wikia/Fandom that does a way better job than here.

Delete all per nom and previous AfDs. And that's not to mention the BLP issues these lists have. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 11:11, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all This is a bunch of unneeded fancruft.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:21, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all per arguments above, per the previous AfDs and my arguments in them. Not needed, anything notable can be mentioned in the season article; the main list of housemates article handles the list. --Gonnym (talk) 14:14, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I have added one more article, List of Big Brother: Over the Top houseguests, to this discussion. Ajf773 (talk) 08:10, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all as per nominater's rationale. Fails WP:LISTPEOPLE. Dan arndt (talk) 05:57, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
