[edit] Housemate articles

Hi Benjamix,

Officially, housemates should not have their own articles unless they have done something unique that is not related to Big Brother that people will know them for. Example, Big Brother UK housemate Derek Laud who did extra political activities outside of the house. From WP:BIGBRO:

“ Housemates should only have their own articles if they are notable for having done something outside the house before or after their stay or involvement in the Big Brother House. They should not have their own article if their notability is directly connected to their stay in the Big Brother House. ”

In accordance with the WikiProject, each article about a particular series/season should have sub-articles about each individual housemate. I did this with List of Big Brother houseguests (USA season 7), which was originally in the article, but the main article became too big, so I had to separate it. You can see an example of this at Big Brother (UK series 6). I started to do this on Big Brother (USA season 3), but I stopped for some reason. I hope this helps. Cheers!
