Here is a discussion on whether " underpants" should remain a standalone article or if it should redirect to " undergarment." The article "underpants" started in 2003 as a redirect. In 2010 an anonymous user changed it to a standalone article to facilitate easier interwikiing. Please see Talk:Underpants WhisperToMe ( talk) 08:37, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
I have completely restructured 1945–1960 in fashion, which had multiple-issues tags on it dating back to 2009. I'd appreciate an assessment (and further suggestions/edits) if anyone is so inclined. - PKM ( talk) 23:25, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I suggest that the photo galleries be fixed some. Each photo should have the caption with the photo rather than trying to connect 1-6 to various images. Also I would avoid linking "actress" and just focus on the person's link. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Taylortofit ( talk • contribs) 00:39, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
I asked at the WikiProject Anime and manga and was directed to you, if it would be suitable to write an article about Sukumizu/ School Mizugi ( スクール水着). A typical type of swimsuite at Japanese schools and adapted in local media as a common theme. Would there be some objections, since it is more or less a One-piece swimsuit? -- Niabot ( talk) 21:24, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
Not like we've ever worked out notability guidelines at this project for anything specifically covered by it, but my participation in the recent AfD on the Wedding dress of Kate Middleton, which led to the creation of several other articles on individual garments (such as other wedding dresses), spurred me to open this question here:
Is a specific single garment, when worn once by a single person (such as a wedding dress), notable enough to merit a standalone article? Consider all the arguments made for keeping the wedding dress article:
All of these things are equally true of Neil Armstrong's space suit, which actually is at a museum. Should we have an article on it, then? It seems there's a fair amount of coverage, too.
What would make a garment notable enough to merit its own article? We need to decide this question here rather than at AfDs. I see the issue as entirely too analogous with transitory Internet memes, many of which got plenty of coverage in their day but now, not so much. I think if we leave it to the general notability guidelines we'd be stuck with a lot of similar dress articles (and not just about wedding dresses ... remember Lizzy Gardiner's credit-card dress at the 1994 Oscars?) Daniel Case ( talk) 05:30, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
I don't see why the general notability guideline is insufficient. Very few garments would meet this criterion. I don't think we need to worry about having an excess of articles, and creating a new single-topic notability guideline for such a rare case (and with, inevitably, the participation of only a few users) would be a silly exercise. Calliopejen1 ( talk) 17:04, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
Otherwise, we're going to have tempestuous AfDs every single time like we just did, like we had for every YouTube video that got a million hits or so in a single week. Daniel Case ( talk) 22:03, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
I agree. Very individual dresses or garments are notable and given the extreme bias on wikipedia this is not a topic which is going to get plagued with loads of stubs like male geek computer jargon.♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:07, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
And she apparently told Glamour that dress was her worst fashion faux pas ever [1]. Daniel Case ( talk) 05:04, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
Now, what I think we could have is some sort of garment infobox for these. {{ Infobox artwork}} was good as a stopgap but we can do better. Daniel Case ( talk) 22:07, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
A related discussion is taking place at Wikipedia:Notability/Noticeboard#Yellow_dress_of_Reese_Witherspoon. The suggestion there at the moment is that individual garments that fall short of WP:GNG or are borderline cases, or permastubs, should be collated into [[(Year) in fashion]] articles. waggers ( talk) 08:28, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
In passing I saw that the brand has been unilaterally moved to Louis Vuitton (brand) and the biography is now at Louis Vuitton - I've suggested WP:COMMONNAME would mean that the brand should be at simply Louis Vuitton, or the two should just be merged completely. Would people here care to take a look? Le Deluge ( talk) 11:21, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Individual_dresses Look at that caegory. Somebody wrote a three line article to all of the dresses in that random top20 list. Are those to keep, i don't think they are notable solely for being in that list. There are better articles in the cat too though. - Koppapa ( talk) 18:56, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
As the new Wikipedia-in-Residence fostering institutional cooperation at the the Museum of Modern Art, I'd love to invite WikiProject Fashion folks to come participate! In particular, we are also looking for anyone to be a Fashion Ambassador to WikiProject MoMA (see Wikipedia:GLAM/MoMA/Members).-- Pharos ( talk) 15:53, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
Hey everyone, this article is about a Malaysian Fashion Designer whom achieved success since the 80s and 90s. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmund_Ser It is a biography of how he achieved his works, his creations, and his evolution from avant garde jackets to corporate uniform fashion. He is best known in South East Asia for his suits and career wear. This article is currently rated C. Would really appreciate it if you guys could help improve it. Thank you!

I just removed a YouTube video of what looked like someone's class project from the front of this article. (Seriously, it even had "By Mary Sue Someperson" right at the front). It has a really simple outline just because no one is writing anything for it, and what it really needs is a ground-up new outline to accommodate for the HUGE topic it is. I can cook up an outline and entries for general information, but I will need help really pumping up the volume of information. Senorred ( talk) 06:15, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
Wouldn't Selena be in the scope she had her own clothing boutique Selena Etc., clothing line Simply Selena, perfume, nail polishes and held fashion shows and was a clothing designer for her clothes. AJona1992 ( talk) 16:53, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
Some help would be welcome, with this BLP, per Wikipedia:Help_desk#Can you protect the bio for "Behnaz Sarafpour".

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Coskel University is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Coskel University (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Hello! The CEO of this organization was involved in a contentious event and the paragraph in the article that describes the event has been changed several times to represent a few different view points. I think the article is mostly in good shape and that the paragraph could use some attention from more editors. The section mentioned is TOMS_Shoes#Focus_on_the_Family. I started this section on the talk page but so far, no one has joined the discussion (only edited the section). Any help there would be greatly appreciated.

I came across a Yoga pants article while reviewing new pages(I'm surprised we didn't already have one). Anybody feel like adding to it? AerobicFox ( talk) 03:11, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
I noticed that {{ infobox artwork}} was being used on articles about individual items of clothing. It is not entirely suitable; as such, I have created a new infobox, {{ infobox clothing item}}. I have migrated all individual clothing articles that were using the artwork templates (plenty of dresses, and a bikini) over to the new template. You may like to add fields to the template as needed. — This, that, and the other (talk) 11:21, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
I would like to ask what do you think about creating a Glam Rock (fashion) article. Glam Rock started as a music style and one of the main characteristics of Glam Rock is the clothing. However I can see that the Glam rock article puts all the attention to the music factor, almost completely avoiding the clothing style. My proposal is to either:

As someone who has done extensive editing on the Chanel page, I would like to know why this has received a "C" rating? I don't believe it represents editing work that would place it in the category of average...a "C" classification. I would like to communicate with the person or persons who established this rating and address/explain the specific issues and concerns. Betempte ( talk) 21:27, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
