[edit] Notable ahoge characters

Notable ahoge characters (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

This does not seem to be an encyclopedic topic, it is a collection of fictional characters that have a certain hair style. This is no more an encyclopedic topic than Congressmen with blue eyes, Facial grooming habits of ordained ministers or Fictional characters that have traveled through time.

It is also a list that is no more than a collection of links containing no actual article style content. _{1 != 2} 22:10, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

• Support The term "notable" in the article's title is not warranted. This is a case akin to over-categorizing, as the list is not encyclopedic. Besides, the list is unsourced and may contain original research. I don't see how it could improve to become something encyclopedic. Kariteh (talk) 22:24, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

• Speedy delete. Seriously? A list of "notable" fringe anime characters based on their hair style? SERIOUSLY? coccyx bloccyx_(toccyx) 22:27, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

• Delete. More non-notable than usual (if possible!). Renee (talk) 23:16, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

• I created the article and I this point I don't mind if its deleted, it started as a small list on another page and balooned when others added stuff to it to I moved it. I noticed WP had tons of such oddball lists (List of Hobbits, List of extraterrestrials in Dragon Ball, List of former Maryland state highways, List of comic book superpowers, etc) and figured another wouldn't hurt.

• Delete - A small list of examples at ahoge would suffice, I think. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 00:13, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
• Delete Notability cannot be combed out of this one. Ecoleetage (talk) 02:12, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

LOL

• Delete agree with nom. The article fails to demonstrate why it is important/significant/notable for anime characters with "foolish hair". AFAICT, there are many characters with wild hair... so what? The absence of a direct and 'justified' connection between ahoge and anime makes it pretty indiscriminate, and begs deletion.

• Delete actually, looking at "ahoge" makes it clear that this is referring to a distinct hair lock... but nevertheless it's not a notable topic. JuJube (talk) 08:18, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
• Selectively merge to ahoge; the use of this hair feature as a motif would be bolstered by examples. Question: is there a name for the Super Saiyan hair style sported by Vegeta and many others? - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:30, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
• Delete as a textbook illustration of what WP:IINFO means you should not create. J.delanoy^gabsanalyze 16:49, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
• Delete - fails WP:NOT#INFO, WP:NOR. Sephiroth BCR ^(Converse) 21:30, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
• Delete per the above reasons Jasynnash2 (talk) 10:30, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
• Delete This is a list for the sake of having a list. There is nothing notable about characters who have "foolish hair" nor is the list useful or given a purpose. --Farix (Talk) 15:30, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
• Delete as per Farix, everyone else. Edward321 (talk) 23:29, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
• Delete for the blizzard of reasons enumerated above. Ford MF (talk) 02:20, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
