Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of United states presidents with facial hair during their tenure
The topic is covered in numerous sources including ''http://books.google.com/books?id=QUIZSVzxqukC&pg=PA91 Media literacy: thinking critically about visual culture'', ''http://books.google.com/books?id=0VpeU4UKqGkC&pg=PT171 Project President: Bad Hair and Botox on the Road to the White House'', ''http://books.google.com/books?id=9Z6vCGbf66YC&pg=PA280 Encyclopedia of hair: a cultural history'', ''http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1656060 Predicting Elections from Biographical Information About Candidates'', ''http://books.google.com/books?id=BNF9_lfvvTwC&pg=PA25 The American Presidency'', etc.  The claims above that the matter is trivial, not encyclopaedic, notable and the like are therefore counterfactual.   If we wish to generalise the article to cover other countries, then sources such as ''http://books.google.com/books?id=ArOzOnGk-rMC&pg=PA74 The sociology of philosophical knowledge'' will provide even more good material. Our |editing policy mandates that we should build upon contributions in this way, rather than deleting them
