[edit] Blue hair

A slang dicdef. Possibly a neologism too. Thue | talk 22:04, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, but clean up. The article goes beyond a dicdef, although it it still a stub. Also, the term has been used often enough, and for long enough, that it isn't a neologism. Still, it needs some work; for one thing, the author seems unfamiliar with the concept of blue rinse. Doctor Whom 23:06, 11 November 2005 (UTC) Redirect to Blue rinse, but mention in that article that "blue hair" is an alternate term. Beyond that, I see nothing in Blue hair worth merging.

• Is "blue hair" used more often than "blue rinse" in the States? (yes I just created blue rinse, because it needed doing and because this article's tone disparages older women, so I didn't want to move this one). - Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] :: AfD? 23:20, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

• I, at least, have heard the term "blue hair" much more often than "blue rinse." Doctor Whom 18:31, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete this term is actually "blue rinse", as in the blue rinse brigade, but that would be a dicdef anyway. Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] :: AfD? 23:11, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to blue rinse, it's a better article. feydey 00:14, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

• Comment FWIW: I don't have an opinion on this and I changed neither this article nor the Blue rinse article. What I DID do is create an article on bluing (fabric), the product, and I think the blue rinse article should maybe be merged into THAT article. But thats a different issue I guess.

• Speaking as the creator of blue rinse and a mergist, I support that if you can make the two work together well. There are obvious parallels, after all, and a common root and aim. - Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] (W) AfD? 20:48, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

On consideration, I vote redirect blue hair -> blue rinse. And pending blue rinse/bluing (product) merger negotiations, maybe Justzis you could add a link to bluing(product) to blue rinse if you get to it.Herostratus 06:29, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
