An article about Justin Bieber's hair (or almost anyone else's for that matter) does not belong in an encyclopedia. Unless his hair is particularly famous for some reason, which as far as I can tell, it is not, it is not going to meet the inclusion guidelines on its own. Prodego talk 18:28, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
- Strongest possible keep O but o but o. This is Justin Bieber's hair we are talking about here.... Its legendary, it even had its own bodyguard. Contains reliable sources from the BBC to google book sources to show influence on popular culture. We have Rachel haircut. Well Bieber's cut is as emulated by teenage boys and Lesbians. Now surely one can't ignore the reliable sources discussing his hair to prove notability. LOL...♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:34, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
- I don't really care what happens to this article, but for the love of God, use a picture that isn't a creepy floating hairpiece. A regular headshot of the Biebs, for instance, would be perfectly sufficient in demonstrating his hairosity. (Not to be confused with Hareosity, which I demonstrate on a daily basis.) Floating hair piles with black backgrounds, however. That's just wrong. harej 18:50, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
- I gather you didn't see the humor in the flying Bieber hair. C'mon LOL this was clearly started as a joke as a separate article but the hair did seriously have a huge influence on popular culture, so I've merged it into the Bieber article. It contains reliable sources... Its worth mentioning in his article the influence and the fact that his hair sold for $40,000 and even had its own bodyguard!!! How many people on the planet can claim that their hair once had a bodyguard eh?? Mwwwoahaaa.♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:07, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
- Comment Well it is good for a laugh. Perhaps redirected to the biography, in the same way that Beatles Haircut found its place as a cultural landmark. 99.168.85.28 (talk) 18:53, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
- You know if this article was kept I reckon it would consistently attract at least 10,000 views a day...♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:14, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
- For sure. And so would an article on Joe Namath wearing pantyhose, had Wikipedia existed then.... 99.168.85.28 (talk) 19:21, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
- Keep, and God help us. His haircut is the subject of articles published in numerous reliable sources. The Hollywood Reporter, a trade magazine for the entertainment industry: [1]. The London Evening Standard: [2]. The Toronto Star, for heaven's sake [3]. I'm afraid the hair actually passes WP:GNG. --NellieBly (talk) 19:40, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
- Okay, then I propose an article on these, for which numerous sources exist: [4] 99.168.85.28 (talk) 19:48, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
