Does the concept of "Harajuku girl" have any currency in Japan at all? This seems like a Western construct. adamrice 01:16, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

It is a completely a western term, but it has validity because its so widely used (like many japanese terms that are used in the US without much care for what the Japanese would say.) Denaar 04:07, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

If that's the case, the article should be edited to reflect that. I will get on it. adamrice 15:27, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

No reason I believe though to delete the infobox which brings together comparable phenomena and which is a good reference. I restored the infobox and slightly adapted the phrasing of the article to reflect the non-Japanese nature of the expression. LHOON 15:49, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

That's a userbox, and userboxes do not belong in articles. adamrice 16:54, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

You are right on this one, but probably the Japanese subcultures box was initially designed with userbox code. It should be recoded in the proper infobox format on all affected pages. The presence of this box is useful and informative on this and on the other pages, but it should be properly coded indeed. I would propose to leave the boxes untouched until someone gathers the time to do so. LHOON 17:05, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] this article is not good

the page for harajuku already covers subculture and fashion. This page should be blanked and redirect to either stefani or that page.Lotusduck 21:22, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] disambig

The info here should be redistributed to the harajuku article and the stefani article, this page becoming a disambig page to those.Lotusduck 04:01, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
