The result of the discussion was delete. The consensus here favors deletion, which happens to also match the long-running overall community consensus that is repeatedly found at TfD. While the arguments used in establishing the longstanding consensus here, they typically include WP:NAVBOX (which suggests using navboxes only where readers would want to navigate from any one article to each of the other articles), WP:BIDIRECTIONAL (as the cast articles almost certainly shouldn't all have a navbox for every show/movie they've participated in), and the sentiments behind WP:TEMPLATECREEP. ~ Rob13 Talk 04:41, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

Also there is an article that lists the same info for each of these templates as well like

- Delete I'm in favor of deleting all these templates because there is a list page containing all the same information. Each of the series main articles also has a sidebar linking each contestant (celebrity & civilian) to either their own Wikipedia article or links them to the season/series they participated in (see Big Brother (U.S. TV series) for example.) Also for each season of a notable series there is a page listing participants of that particular season if they are not notable enough to have their own Wikipedia article (i.e. List of Big Brother 18 houseguests (U.S.), List of Big Brother 17 housemates (UK).) Templates like {{ Big Brother in the United States}} lists the winning contestant from each season and a link to an article for more information about them along with key visible people like the presenters of the program. Templates like {{ Big Brother UK}} are similar just omit the presenters currently. With so many places to find the same information here on Wikipedia we don't need these templates and they cause WP:TEMPLATECREEP. For shows like {{ The Surreal Life}} that template can be restructured similar to one of the existing Big Brother series templates instead of a complete delete.

- I've add a vote now to keep, due to nominator returning to editing without explaining what has changed since the last TfD making this template less useful than at that time. Nothing has apparently changed. Thus, no apparent rationale for deletion. Nearly 200 transclusions too. I'm open to further discussion on why this needs to be deleted, but at this time no valid reason has been submitted. -- Hammersoft ( talk) 14:18, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete. The consensus here favors deletion, which happens to also match the long-running overall community consensus that is repeatedly found at TfD. While the arguments used in establishing the longstanding consensus here, they typically include WP:NAVBOX (which suggests using navboxes only where readers would want to navigate from any one article to each of the other articles), WP:BIDIRECTIONAL (as the cast articles almost certainly shouldn't all have a navbox for every show/movie they've participated in), and the sentiments behind WP:TEMPLATECREEP. ~ Rob13 Talk 04:41, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

I searched through all the templates relating to this particular global reality show and think that we should discuss them all at once so there isn't another discussion about this down the road. Also there is an article that lists the same info for each of these templates as well like
List of Pinoy Big Brother housemates,
List of Big Brother (UK) housemates &
List of Big Brother (U.S. TV series) houseguests.

- Delete I'm in favor of deleting all these templates because there is a list page containing all the same information. Each of the series main articles also has a sidebar linking each contestant (celebrity & civilian) to either their own Wikipedia article or links them to the season/series they participated in (see Big Brother (U.S. TV series) for example.) Also for each season of a notable series there is a page listing participants of that particular season if they are not notable enough to have their own Wikipedia article (i.e. List of Big Brother 18 houseguests (U.S.), List of Big Brother 17 housemates (UK).) Templates like {{ Big Brother in the United States}} lists the winning contestant from each season and a link to an article for more information about them along with key visible people like the presenters of the program. Templates like {{ Big Brother UK}} are similar just omit the presenters currently. With so many places to find the same information here on Wikipedia we don't need these templates and they cause WP:TEMPLATECREEP. For shows like {{ The Surreal Life}} that template can be restructured similar to one of the existing Big Brother series templates instead of a complete delete. This same discussion can also be applied to the templates of the Dancing with the Stars series as well. ♪♫Al ucard 16♫♪ 02:23, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
