Deletion of Fashion faux pas (2nd nomination)

Comment: The article lacks a solid core.  Fashion is, by definition, a matter of transitory taste and ''de gustibus non est disputadum''.  Is it a faux pas to wear brown shoes or jeans?  It might be but it all depends on the time and place.  One might start an article about dress sense or clothing etiquette but this stuff is too |parochial to be a good foundation

Comment: in addition to the nominator's rationale, the article seems to be inherently |non-neutral (since the definition of what is a "fashion faux pas" is left up to the Wikipedia editors), and basically consists of

Comment: due to the easily determined availability of reliable sources. The nominator did not apply . The notion and definition of ''fashion faux pas'' is in the eye of the reliable sources, and not at all dependent upon Wikipedia editors, and spans more than a '''centuries'''. Here is evidence of discussion of the topic in multiple RS over time (there is some chaff in the wheat, but my point is made

Comment: because (1) this list brings together several concepts about fashion into one, useful place; (2) our core readership, students, will likely look for this topic; (3) the Project is not harmed by its inclusion; and (4) plenty of |tertiary sources can be found easily. If absolutely needed, tag it and userfy and move on

Comment: This appears to be a dictionary definition, liberally garnished with unsourced and minimally-sourced examples chosen by editor(s).  The phrase itself appears to be of fairly recent origin, and might be supplanted by others in another decade or two, when some of the grievous fashion errors cited in the article return to being the height of fashion, and when boxer briefs, cargo shorts, and body piercings come to be regarded as the most ''faux'' of fashion ''pas''.

Comment: I'm not usually one for meta arguments but the reality is that this article keeps each of the listed examples from needing their own pages which I think has merits - see . Sure, that doesn't help the subject phrase meet . There are a number of sources which use the phrase, make passing mention of the phrase or refer to someone having committed a ''"fashion faux pas"'' like http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2197569/Olivia-Palermo-steps-romantic-stroll-boyfriend--wears-distasteful-white-socks.html this, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2176906/Fashion-faux-par-Pierre-Cardins-plan-build-futuristic-skyscraper-near-Venice-suited-Dubai.html this and http://www.threadless.com/product/1748/Fashion_Faux_Pas this. Am really on the fence with this one

Comment: for being mostly  and |unreferenced . Potentially one could write some day an encyclopedic article about it. But that's true of many other topics, Economic history of the Jews|some of which are covered by entire books. Simply because the title might one day befit an article is no excuse to keep junk around. There has been virtually no improvement since the previous nomination closed http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fashion_faux_pas&oldid=375328121 some two years ago. The theory that all junk articles improve by themselves is disproved here
