Completely random, unsourced list of fictional characters that have blue hair. Additionally, there is nothing in the article to justify why "blue hair" is notable. AniMate 07:41, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 12:00, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Rename per WP:MOS to List of fictional characters with blue hair, and then reevaluate. Yes, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, but we have six articles total relating to List_of_fictional_Presidents_of_the_United_States. THF (talk) 13:23, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per WP:NOTDIRECTORY and the fact that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 17:12, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete because Wikipedia is not a directory or an indiscriminate collection of information. This article is pure original research with no sources. Reyk _YO! 22:30, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Actully it is not orginal research as the characters listed can be referenced too in pictures as well however it would have a hard time passing WP:V - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 15:53, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete all old ladies have blue hair, but the person writing the article doesn't seem to know about blue-haired old ladies. 70.29.210.242 (talk) 06:42, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. As much as I don't like the "not notable" and "listcruft" arguments, they seem to apply here (a one-shot Scooby-Doo villian?).SPNic (talk) 18:19, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Anime and manga-related deletion discussions. -- —Farix (t | c) 15:05, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Rename to List of notable people with blue hair. Anyone on the list not notable can be removed. Dream Focus 15:13, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Hair coloring#Exotic hair colorants. Blue hair does exist outside the anime/manga universe. A small section reguarding anime can easily be made there as long as it is sourced. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 15:59, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect per Knowledgekid87. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 18:11, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• If the article was trimmed to just notable fictional characters with blue hair, there will only have two or three characters on the list. There is nothing really significant about a character having blue hair other than it help distinguish one character from another. Trying to list every fictional blue-haired character would be too broad a topic for a stand-alone list and run afoul of What Wikipedia is not, specifically WP:IINFO. I'll note that the original AfD resulted in a redirect to blue rinse. A redirect to Hair coloring#Exotic hair colorants also seems reasonable. However, I don't think there is any advantage in turn this into a redirect. We don't have redirects for other unnatural colors, such as green hair, orange hair, pink hair, or purple hair. Therefore, I suggest the article be deleted. —Farix (t | c) 01:08, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• You never know, wiki is a work in progress. Im sure when this was first deleted editors didnt expect to see it up again for AfD yet here we are. Deleting the article is fine, a redirect wont hurt for those readers looking for those blue haired celebs. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 01:40, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Do you no of any celebs that have blue hair? Didn't think so. —Farix (t | c) 02:33, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• [1] [2] (not that I am arguing for keeping this article, just saying) 159.182.1.4 (talk) 13:47, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• But those are either blue hair dye or wigs. It's not a natural blue nor is it a permenent feature of the celeb's attire. —Farix (t | c) 15:08, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - With no sources describing a phenomenon, this is just an OR list of people who happen to have blue hair. WhisperToMe (talk) 19:22, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
