[edit] Barber's hours

Barber's hours (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Tiny number of google hits on this, this is not a notable enough topic for an article, even if barbers do work Tuesday through Saturday as the article says. No reliable sources on the phrase "barber's hours", and I hardly think we need an article on "tuesday through saturday". And this has already been transwikied to Wiktionary.

  • Merge anything verifiable to barber and/or delete. Nowhere near enough for an article on this exact topic. Ned Wilbury 14:39, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge per Ned Wilbury. No-one is going to write a decent article on this with current information. Hut 8.5 15:13, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge. Same for lawyer's hours, streetsweeper's hours and Morris dancer's hours ;-) --Dweller 15:45, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Yep, Merge. Interesting info, completely pointless article. –MDCollins (talk) 17:12, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge but only if someone in the US can verify that any of this is actually true - loath as I am to doubt "Some experts have estimated" as a source — iridescenti (talk to me!) 17:19, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge I know my Barbers have generally worked Barber's Hours. Also, even though this article was given 2 weeks before being AfD'ed, I think after 3 or 4 days and for a few weeks it is time to tag things as unsourced. Then I think they should have about 6 months before being AfD'ed. However, since it is here I must cast a vote against as failing WP:RS. TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio) 20:41, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
  • I point out to the above editors that the closing administrator is not a verification service. You are supposed to be looking for sources yourselves during AFD discussions. I've looked for sources, and can find nothing written about the subject to support any of the content of this article at all, let alone enough to support a standalone article. There's not a single source to be found that corroborates anything that this article has to say, nor any source to be found that discusses barbers' hours as a subject in its own right. And there appear to be several barbershops advertising (or otherwise mentioned) on the World Wide Web who don't keep the hours claimed. This is unverifiable and original research. Delete.

  • Delete per Uncle G, I also found zero sources. --Dhartung | Talk 05:46, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
