[edit] Size Zero

This is obviously intended by the person who wrote it to refer to size 0 in the women's US standard clothing size system. While the figures here don't make sense when compared with the figures there, my reasons for nominating it are:

• Size 0 can mean many different things in different contexts. The choice of meaning that has been taken is arbitrary. It would also seem pointless to try to round up every meaning of size 0 into one article.
• The article gives no real useful information above what should be on US standard clothing size anyway. Indeed, that article should be expanded - at the moment it only goes down to size 6.
• There are no other articles (that I have found, anyway) that focus on a single size in a single sizing system. OK, so some names of standard paper sizes are listed, but the ones I've found are dab pages or redirects. OTOH, I don't see anything that this can be redirected to that wouldn't bring us back to the statement that the choice of meaning is arbitrary.

• This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 19:40, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

• Comment if you have other meanings for Size 0, adding them to the article would be better than deleting it. If there aren't any, then I would suggest redirecting to the article on Us clothing sizes. If there are, I'd have to see them before deciding what to do, though disambig seems likely.

You appear to have not read my points at all. -- Smjg 13:14, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. There has been some controversy regarding this in the news of late, and it is referred to throughout as "Size Zero", which is why I looked it up here today. See these Google News results. Vashti 18:58, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. This entry provides information pertaining to phenomena of current cultural interest. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mr Twain (talk • contribs) 08:43, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep but in alternate form. Size zeros are a relatively (last 20 years or so) new concept in women's fashion, and some people (especially men) may want to read up on it. This is the page that is returned when people search for "size zero". Instead of having two separate places explaining the same thing (which seems to be the original poster's objection), then perhaps a disambigution with a summary explaination would satisify more people.--PCStuff 04:43, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - I looked for Size Zero as it comes up in the movie The Devil Wears Prada and I wanted to check whether it was a joke! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.13.199.103 (talk • contribs).
