It appears to be the consensus that lists of contestants on a particular reality show or contest are not notable, (for example Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Big Brother 1 (American season) houseguests. It is a loose attempt to get around the WP:BLP requirements by assuming they have inherited notability just from being finalists. If they are notable, then they should have their own articles (as a few already do). The sourcing in both these articles are low level, some are from social media posts as well.

Delete. As was shown in the several lists of Big Brother AfDs, the consensus is against seasonal list of contestants. The main reason is as the nom states, if the people in those lists are notable, they already have an article about them and any section here is both redundant and also a WP:CONTENTFORK, and if they are not notable, then the section is not needed at all. --Gonnym (talk) 10:31, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
