• Keep, expand if at all possible. -- Riffsyphon1024 11:16, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, more than a dicdef, expansion possible. Anyway keep definitions of real things. Kappa 12:05, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

How is expansion possible? Famous crew cuts in history? List of people who have crew cuts? List of people who used to have crew cuts but don't any more? List of people who might have a crew cut in the future!?! Seriously, what makes this hairstyle more notable, more encyclopedic than any other? Miss Pippa 12:42, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• It could include people who are well-known for having crew-cuts. It could mention boy scouts wearing them. It could discuss different periods when crew-cuts were fashionable, and why. It could discuss how a crew-cut is made, and the fact that it's quick and simple to do, and easy to comb or wash afterwards. It could discuss how long they last. It could discuss they symbolism of crew cuts, including that a woman with one is likely to be interpreted as butch. If you need more ideas, try Category:Hairstyles. Kappa 13:26, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. It's more than a dictdef, and could be expanded more as this hairstyle has had historic social and political affiliations. -- Infrogmation 19:26, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
