When creating new articles about a country'sBig Brother series they should follow the structure and naming guidelines ofWP:NCTV.
All country specificBig Brother articles should use{{Infobox television}}
Main articles about Big Brother shows should be disambiguated asBig Brother (country TV series):
An exception to this is allowed if the countries name is regularly used within the title.
A note: Articles for a series of Big Brother shouldnot be createduntil there are enough independent reliable sources or there are promos on television. This, and only this, should be taken as a sign that Big Brotherwill be happening, and is good enough a reason to create an article. Anything else, unless it can be confirmed by the network itself or network executives, is not enough reason to create a series' article, and is most likely speculation. Another reason not to create an article so early is that there will most likely be no information in it. Lack of information, or information that's already in other articles, is pointless. Any articles about a Big Brother series that has not been confirmed should be nominated for deletion viaWP:AFD. If there are only a few pieces of information about a series and it is still not enough or it is still simplytoo soon to create a standalone article information can be added to the main country article.
Housemates should only have their own articles if they are notable for having done something outside the House before or after their involvement in Big Brother. They should not have their own article if their "notability"is their involvement in Big Brother. Information about their time in the Big Brother House, unless it was controversial or received media attention, should not be in such articles. Articles about formerBig Brother housemates have beenmerged and redirected to relevant season articles or deleted in the past throughWP:AFD because of non-notability outside ofBig Brother. An incomplete list ofBig Brother-related AfDs arehere.
