Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of notable people who wore the bowler hat
I see this as a spin-off per |summary style. Notable wearers are indeed part of a thourough study of an iconic item of clothing, as shown by the book quoted above by Sbharris, but the complete list doesn't fit in the parent article due to its length. I agree that it needs cleanup, referencing, trimming, and all that, and also agree with MGM that after the trimming it is even possible that a merge back will be best
