[edit] removed proposed deletion
The prod (reason: linkspam) was inappropriate. Obviously the subject is notable and verifiable; there are entire magazines devoted to plus-size clothing. Wikipedia contains a main entry for plus-size models as well as individual model biographies and notable retailers. The article is a short stub and contained commercial links (which I removed), but that's not grounds for deletion. — AKADriver ☎ 18:22, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
- OK, thanks. --Canley 07:44, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] men?
Is there a reason that this article is about women's clothing? I'm a man and I often find men's clothing marked 2X, XXXL, etc. --Keeves 03:02, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
- The men's equivalent is usually called "big and tall", isn't it? I've only heard the term "plus size" used to refer to women's fashion. But I could be wrong. — AKADriver ☎ 16:14, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
- In the UK men's clothing sizes 3XL - 8XL+ is usually referred to as 'Big and Tall' or 'Outsize'. Should a new article be created for 'Big and Tall' and crosslinked with this? --BilzoDee 11:12, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] What/where on earth?
What is the first paragraph supposed to mean? Clearly somebody has taken the situation in some small part of the world and painted it up as if it applies the world over, which obviously it doesn't.

[edit] This page is awful
While I understand the frustration of the men wishing to have representation, content to support a listing pertaining to men is neglible. If there was a cult of size and beauty in society that targetted the men, well then of course representation is deserved, however the business of beauty, and fashion (hence plus size clothing) is exclusively targetted at women and therefore the statistical data and attitude will always swing to them initially. Besides, mens' stuff is always called "big and tall". Call it that if you like!
I do not believe that it is necessary to have a page outlining what plus size clothing is. It is merely a category of clothing, in the same way as sports, or children's clothing is. There is not enough content of merit for a page, and I move it be deleted without resurrection. If you like, put in a redirect to plus size model and leave it at that.
