[edit] De-stubbed

This article appears to be of an appropriate length for the subject matter under discussion. It is also appropriately categorized and wikified.

By nature, stubbing and tagging articles devalues them, giving them an aura of unreliability and making them seem less credible. As part of my personal campaign to free up articles that have been stubbed and tagged without cause, this article has been disenstubified.

If any editor disagrees, and would rather re-stub it than improve it by adding actual content, please discuss here. The Editrix 20:56, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

I don't see where a stub tag by nature devalues anything. My take is that is identifies articles that need immediate expanding/are not balanced/that sort of thing. Dome people LIKE searching through stubs to find work that should be prioritized. Stubs are not inherently less credible; we've got some garbage articles of greath length and some very factual stubs. And, actually, this article inherently has some degree of unreliability, inbalance; it's lacking in the actual history of the garment beyond a nod to its use in the US, what language is the word "Dashiki" from, a movie citation and the fact that Bill Cosby and Marion Barry wore them is trivia or misc.--of passing interest but hardly encyclopedic.

Length alone does not indicate stub-ness IMHO.

Having said all that, I don't care enough to start an edit war. Leave the stub notice out if you'd rather.

Article could use a picture...

[edit] Draped clothing to fully tailored suits?

That phrase really doesn't say much about the garments, implying that a dashiki is nothing more than any colorful clothes worn in west Africa. Is there a typical form of this garment? Is there something unique about the garment that must be present to call it a dashiki?

I don't know, and these are things I came to find out, so I am asking here.

[edit] Article is poor from the start

This article is disjointed, confusing, and it lacks a picture for reference. I suggest finding an editor for this article.
