This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Add Malayalam Bigg Boss page along with others.

Though only celebrities were selected to be as housemates in the initial seasons, members of the general public have been chosen to be on the show in the latest seasons of Hindi, Kannada, Telugu and Malayalam versions of the show.^[1]^[2]^[3] Arunavak111 (talk) 20:26, 21 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

– The current naming format with brackets, such as "Bigg Boss (Hindi TV series)", is not how the show is referred to in general use or official promotion. Titles like "Bigg Boss Hindi" or "Bigg Boss Tamil season 1" are simpler, easier to read, and more consistent with how similar shows are titled across Wikipedia. The bracketed format looks technical and out of place for a popular franchise like this. Changing to a clean, direct naming style will make it easier for readers to find and understand the articles, and will also bring uniformity across all language editions and seasons.

Oppose: For the above languages, the show's title is simply "Bigg Boss". However, some media outlets occasionally append the language as a suffix to distinguish between different regional versions. To verify the correct title, refer to the titles shown in the official logos and on OTT platform—Bigg Boss (Hindi), Bigg Boss (Tamil), Bigg Boss (Telugu), and Bigg Boss (Malayalam). In contrast, the other three versions use the language name as part of the title itself—Bigg Boss Kannada, Bigg Boss Marathi, and Bigg Boss Bangla. This is why those articles are titled differently. For TV shows that share the same title, Wikipedia follows the convention of adding the distinguishing term in parentheses (WP:NCTVUS, WP:TVSEASON). This standard applies across all TV show titles on Wikipedia.--The Doom Patrol (talk) 16:53, 29 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
Oppose for the reasons above. Personal preferences must give way to established standards. Ravensfire (talk) 19:04, 29 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
