Talk:Cleft chin

House of Representatives

I'm really perplexed as to what the anonymous House of Representatives IP contributor's interest in this article is. I monitor their contributions to ensure NPOV, and this is one article they keep coming back to and adding- it's quite bizarre. --Kuzaar^-T-C- 17:17, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

I propose deleting the list, it's inane and pointless. Who gives a damn if someone has a cleft chin? And if anyone does I hope one of the editors bans their IP The list is longer than the article itself and that alone warrents wiping out the list. It has an example of a Cleft Chin with Kirk Douglas, and an example of the gene becoming less prominant in offspring, with his son. If someone doesn't know who Kirk Douglas is, they obviously don't know how to go anywhere else on the web other than the Cleft Chin section of wikipedia.

Not meaning to get trivial about storage, but this page is about 10kb longer than it should be. Every article should uphold Wikipedia's standards, and this page displays that 90% plus of Wikipedia is junk and links to self-serving US congressman. Someone who can either objectively cut down the list, or give a summary of a handful of prominant people with the trait and with relevance to the subject of genetic traits, please cut this thing up and move it from downright bovine exriment to just plain awful would be divine intervention here. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.100.225.250 (talk) 13:41, 23 January 2007 (UTC).

Reducing the List

I concur that we should significantly cut the list down, if not completely destroy. RegainTheTruth 21:52, 30 April 2007 (UTC) RegainTheTruth Good grief. This differs from a regular dimple because of the underlying bony fissure so it should not be placed in with regular dimples. THus, one could link it with the cleft palate page I suppose. It should not be removed simply because it is information. If you aren't interested, don't read it. Having this condition, I was interested and wanted to see how common it was, etc. I know people pay money to have it surgically done. Interestingly enough, when you read about it, it is an actual deformity. Deformity or not, after a lifetime of this condition not one person has ever made fun of it, and many people have stopped me on the street and said they loved it. Just leave it alone already. Clean it up or something, but there is no need to remove it.

The list has meanwhile been split off and its deletion is discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of people with cleft chins. --Tikiwont 12:54, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

so can we throw some statistics in here on prevalence of cleft chins in general public, maybe get a comparative skull photo, make this an actual article... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.188.184.154 (talk) 03:21, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

I don' know what all this bickering is about. I found this information very useful. I've always liked the look of a cleft chin, but never knew how it developed. The underlying bone structure info was eye opening. Don't delete it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.126.232.199 (talk) 23:46, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Looks like someone did. This page is pathetic, look at the Dimple page, than this one. This is merely the list of people with dimples, which should be a page somewhere else, as only people who are looking for that will want to find it, not anyone who looks up cleft chin. Seriously, the only picture isn't even recent. 72.199.100.223 (talk) 20:30, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Relevant info, instead of a list?

What causes it? Also, in ancient times, it was considered a sign of being prosperous. Not sure which culture, I learned this in school back in the early 90s. I was made fun of for mine in school. With such comments as Ass face, "W" chin & John Travolta."What happened, fall on a pipe?". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.34.188.211 (talk) 06:50, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Genetics

I don't understand this claim

There is a 100% chance that a child will have a cleft chin when both parents are visible carriers of the gene. C(c), C(c)

No matter what the inheritance pattern, homozygous parents do not have a 100% chance of producing ANYTHING. If it is a dominant trait, they have a 75% chance of passing it on. If it is recessive, they have a 25% chance. 30 seconds with google confirms that this is a simple Mendelian trait inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. To have such nonsense in the lede is depressing. I am correcting it. 98.24.127.189 (talk) 23:26, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Michael Jackson

Would it make sense to keep Michael Jackson on the list, considering his cleft chin was surgically created? 69.112.43.9 (talk) 14:38, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Maybe there should be a section for surgically created clef chins.You Can't Clap with One Hand (talk) 16:10, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Vandalism?

I don't believe that image that was replaced 2 days ago was vandalism. If anything it was a much better example of Cleft Chin. And yes I am referring to the Erin Vondrak one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.18.130.128 (talk) 04:25, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
