I can't find a simple speedy deletion category. This is an unsourced short essay Fiddle Faddle (talk) 20:32, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

  • KeepIt seems to be a notable hairstyle. Google news archive [http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=shag+hairstyle&sa=N&start=20] shows various newspapers calling it a well known hair style.

[http://www.hindu.com/rp/2008/06/06/stories/2008060650060300.htm]. A haircut which identifies a decade [http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=BG&p_theme=bg&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0EADE0529BE30007&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM]deserves an article.

[http://www.courant.com/features/lifestyle/hc-fashhaircut.artaug10,0,6457442.story] lists it as one of 11 men's haircut styles. So we have considerable evidence of notability, and an article lacking references. That is a good reason for editing, but not for deletion. Edison (talk) 21:26, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep It is highly advisable to at least check the Googles for things that are unfamiliar before coming here. it ought to be obligatory, because then one can improve the improvable articles, instead of wasting everyone's time here. DGG (talk) 22:24, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
