Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/White coats

This page is an archive of the proposed deletion of the article below. Further comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was NO CONSENSUS, so keep. The transwikiers are too small in number for me to add a tag as part of this closure, and the expanded article probably doesn't fit in Wikt: anyway. -Splashtalk 22:13, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] White coats, now moved to White coat

This vfd nomination was orphaned. Weak delete or redirect or move somewhere appropriate; I can't see how this is useful at this title. —Cryptic (talk) 09:07, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete - before we get an article for every color/type combination of work clothes. If somebody wishes to do a serious article about work clothes, even one specific to certain areas, that's fine. Such an article should be named and organized based on type of work, or function of clothing, and not on the color. --rob 09:22, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
    • Well, laboratory coats (vulgo whitecoats) are a type of work clothing. Pilatus 01:35, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
  • No vote But I have made some changes that might alter views of the article's notability. Not sure if these are a bit too dictionary-like, though. The phrase "men in white coats" gets 76,000+ hits on Google.Vizjim 10:24, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Transwiki to wiktionary. The term as used to describe scientists in general is fairly widespread. Also the name of a good (if NN) song by New Model Army (band). Grutness...wha? 13:16, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
    • Enough there to change my vote to keep now. Good work folks. Grutness...wha? 01:49, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep- I've expanded and cleaned up. Much to my surprise, I think there is more than enough information out there to eventually turn this into a feature article. For now though, I'd settle for the less ambitious goal of not deleting it.--Scimitar parley 14:55, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Notable cultural phenomenon, akin to Hello Kitty. -- BD2412 talk 15:38, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Transwiki to Wiktionary. --Jacqui M Schedler 16:11, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep with Vizjim's and Scimitar's addition. Notable costume. Capitalistroadster 00:39, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. It's an expanded dicdef. Transwiki if possible. / Peter Isotalo 17:17, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep This type of work clothes has cultural significance. Pilatus 01:35, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
  • The page has been moved to White coat, as per the usual conventions. Hope nothing got broken in the process. Pilatus 10:19, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
