Gyaru-oh

non notable. Ghit 175. Zduiel 17:28, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - covered by Mainichi Daily News and MSN Japan [1]. Did you search for the term in Japanese or English? May well be notable in Japan, beware possible systemic bias. --Canley 17:49, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Searching in Japanese produces 290,000 ghits. Likewise, a better English search produces 1,920, which isn't bad for a Japanese subsubculture. That said, I do wonder whether this is widely known enough to deserve its own article - would merging it into Gyaru be worth considering? — Haeleth Talk 17:55, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I wonder if [2] is a reliable enough source. If so, coupled with the mainichi article would make it notable enough (multiple independent third-party articles on the subject) to keep. ColourBurst 19:31, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - Interesting find -- thanks for posting that. It certainly establishes that the subculture is notable enough, and I don't think there are any real verifiability concerns. So the subject should be discussed here -- it's merely a question of how it's most usefully arranged. I do honestly think it would be better discussed as a section within a wider context, either within Gyaru, or possibly within an article on Japanese male fashion (the article you link already does something similar, contrasting it with a different male fashion subculture, which seems to work quite well). My recommendation is therefore keep or merge, and if there's no consensus on which, keep and open a merge debate on the article's talk page. — Haeleth Talk 12:31, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Gyaru Isn't this the same "culture" just two genders? Denaar 21:25, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
