[edit] Hair extensions

Blatant advertisement for Monofibre (I've removed that stupid registered sign). While the Monofibre article is salvageable because of the small amount of content, I see no practical way to make this article read as anything other than advertising. Delete. — JIP | Talk 12:37, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Keep and Cleanup. Notable hair fashion with multiple materials and techniques. See Dreadlocks for precedent Djbrianuk 12:53, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • That would have to be rewrite instead of cleanup. When I tagged the article for VfD, the content was so blatant advertising it was painful to look at. — JIP | Talk 12:59, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Ok, Keep and Rewrite then. You're right that the article as it stands is advertising but the topic is certainly encyclopedic, and deserves an article. Whether it's better to rewrite this, or delete it and start over is of course debateable. Djbrianuk 13:05, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete content, list on requested articles. Radiant_>|< 13:28, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)
• Vandalized by a spammer. Keep and revert to an earlier version (although the brief mention of a salon there may also be spammish and should be removed unless verified) and have the spammer crushed by elephant. Uppland 13:54, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and rewrite. Enough people get them to be notable, but this is just an ad. Wikibofh 14:25, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, rewrite, remove spamvertising. -- BD2412 ^talk 14:36, 2005 Jun 22 (UTC)
• Keep/Rewrite. Someone had cleaned it up, but IP responsible for advertising keeps reinserting it. I've reverted to the cleaned version, but it might get readvertisementitiated. Proto 14:50, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Comment - also see Sewn - is this a VfD candidate? Proto 14:50, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Not a vote, but i think the entire content here is best thrown away. It ignores the existence of say, artificial hair extensions. The sentence about the supposed invention of the technique looks like an advert still. Morwen - Talk 15:20, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Current content is an advertisement; former one was blatant spam. Cleanup/rewrite (as per Morwen) or, failing that, delete. - Mike Rosoft 16:08, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Keep - as it currently is, only needs destubbing in due course. This is certainly a valid topic for an article, but just needs to be the right one, not all the dismal spam. No reason to delete the artice, though. If the offender persists, there are other remedies. Naturenet 16:47, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep notable hair fashion. If necessary, protect stub against spammer. Capitalistroadster 18:06, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge Monofibre into present article. As it is, it's an ad for the Salon, although it has possibilities.
• Keep or merge; notable hair fashion; not a good VfD. Phoenix2 23:27, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and Rewrite per Proto et al. Xoloz 01:35, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. Notable hair accessory. JamesBurns 09:04, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and merge with hair weave. This article only talks about one type of hair extension, but you have clip-in, bonded and sewn track (a hair weave), braided, and this technique are all types of hair extensions. Antares33712 29 June 2005 17:44 (UTC)
