[edit] Chelsea girl (culture)

Chelsea girl (culture) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

There have never been any references, it duplicates topics from the skinhead article, and the term is not used in the United Kingdom, where the skinhead subculture originated. Spylab 02:36, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

• Comment. It seems there's notability somewhere there, though it's a poor article. The term appears to have some currency in the US as per Chelsea Girl, the disambiguation, but I'm wondering if the article gets it wrong. Perhaps it derives from Hotel Chelsea, Chelsea Girl (album), etc., or other things to do with Andy Warhol. Americans tended to adopt British punk culture without understanding it or being particular as to accuracy, so that could be it too. Definitely needs expansion and clean-up, if it's a real term. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikidemo (talk • contribs) 03:56, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep but rename to something like Chelsea haircut. Skinhead with bangs, basically. Where the name comes from may be lost to time, but the term is out there. I really don't see this as a term pointing to a subculture, just a particular female variation on the hair. --Dhartung | Talk 04:30, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
• Comment After a quick Googling - it's a haircut. Are haircuts notable? MarkBul 04:47, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
• Comment - In the UK, the hairstyle is called a feathercut, so if the article remains as an article about a hairstyle, there will have to be consensus about which term is used; the original UK name, or the later North American name.Spylab 14:56, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - Unreferenced, NN, OR and all that is written can be found on other articles. Basically, same reasons as below. Spawn Man 05:22, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, nonsensical article. David Q. Johnson 11:37, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
