[edit] Boyfriend (fashion)

The original dictdef has been removed, leaving a description of the blindingly obvious (wearing the boyfriend's clothes) but stated in "interesting" (i.e. uncited) terms. I would suggest that this is essentially a non-article; the terms cited (boyfriend jeans and boyfriend jacket) have some currency butnothiong beyond the blindingly obvious.

• Keep. Article was helpful in covering a fashion industry term that describes a particular style. [1],[2], [3], [4]. Was not at all blindingly obvious to me, especially as the "boyfriend" look seems very girlish. Examples include the boyfriend skirt [5], or the boyfriend tank with pink facets [6]. If anything should be expanded. --JJay 01:40, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
• Neutral - It's been around a long time for a one-two sentence stub, but I think it could be a legit topic. It either needs expanding, or should go. Wikipedia is not a dictionary.
• Delete. Aside from being no more than a dictionary definition, it's offensively stupid: 'more unisex....still designed for the female form'? --die Baumfabrik 03:32, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Comment: But it's the trend that's stupid -- the article is fairly accurate, as I understand it... --Rehcsif 03:48, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep per JJay. --badlydrawnjeff talk 12:27, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. KillerChihuahua^?!? 22:06, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. JJay has reasonably demonstrated that this article can be well expanded. Silensor 07:10, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and expand, Boyfriend clothes are more like tomboy than unisex, and when we introduce boyshorts, things tend to need some encyclopedic text to do some explaining. hateless 07:32, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
