Notable?

I don't know about anyone else, but I am wondering, has she really done enough to make her notable enough for her own article? This whole page concerns her appearance on Big Brother. Might I suggest a redirect until such time that she does become notable? TheRetroGuy (talk) 21:40, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I decided to be bold and redirect this to List of Big Brother 2009 housemates (UK). She's done nothing of note outside the series. Winning the series is not notable on its own - and do we really care what her bra size is? Anyway, the information can be restored once she does do something notable. TheRetroGuy (talk) 21:49, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes and i dont believe that was the right thing to do. So put it up for Afd instead so we do it correctly. That is better than let one person decide who is and what is notable. cheers mate.--Judo112 (talk) 19:34, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not quite the case. A merge can be suggested by adding the {{merge}} template, which I've now done. TheRetroGuy (talk) 21:32, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested merge

As my merge was reverted, I'm opening a discussion here. I believe this article should be merge/redirected to List of Big Brother 2009 housemates (UK) as I don't feel she is notable enough for her own article . . . although that could change in the future if she becomes a "celeb" like her predecessors. She is chiefly notable for winning Big Brother, but has previously posed for Playboy. Not much else apart from that. Not a very strong case for giving her her own page. TheRetroGuy (talk) 21:30, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, forget this. I've merged it again. The person who opposed my merge appears to be a sockpuppet account of a banned user. TheRetroGuy (talk) 22:00, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of negative material

I have removed potentially negative material that was unsourced or sourced to a dead link. I'm not sure the subject is notable, but given the number of times the article has been restored from a redirect, it might be wise to take it to AfD to get a proper discussion rather than simply redirecting again. Espresso Addict (talk) 12:00, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am - winners of national competitions like this one are notable. Feel free to AfD it but I will oppose it.--Laun chba ller 13:40, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

Formal request has been received to merge the article Sophie Reade into Big Brother 10 (UK); dated: August 2017. Proposer's Rationale: per WP:ONEEVENT the subject is not notable outside the latter article. Discuss here. Pinging @This is Paul: who made the original redirect in 2009, and @Launchballer: who reverted it. Richard3120 (talk) 21:35, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely merge, she wasn't notable then, and she isn't now. I created a number of BB redirects at the time as they were plausible search terms. This is Paul (talk) 23:00, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
