[edit] Socklessness

Though it was double prodded before, this article has not generated a single reference to show that is a notable cultural phenomenon. This belongs in Wikitionary, not here. If this is acceptable, then why not have articles on bralessness, hatlessness, ankle-braceletlessness, and countless others? Dar-Ape 01:00, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

• Weak Delete per nom. I'm surprised there's no reference to Einstein, a notorious non-sock-wearer, but I doubt that would be sufficient to bring it into notability. Tevildo 01:04, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete If really necessary, couldn't particularly notable non-sock-wearers just be included in the sock article? Chairman S. Talk ^Contribs 01:12, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as unverifiable. The state of being sockless is not a phenomenon and none of the specific examples referred to here have verification - it's just an editor's musings on what s/he feels to be a phenomenon ("I've seen a bunch of ads with sockless models.") The article's title is a giveaway that it's just a pared down original essay. --Dmz5*Edits**Talk* 05:28, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete My personal motto is "Wear Two Socks for Duty, No Socks for Pleasure... but One Sock Only for Ecstasy". Unverifiable article. No, does not belong in Wikitionary either Bwithh 10:56, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Unverifiable and OR. Thank you for the visual, Bwithh. --Charlene 13:33, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Any worthy information about fashion trends in sock-wearing, if properly cited, might well be merged to Sock. Coemgenus 20:39, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
