Talk:Head hair

The Question

So I started working on this and found two appropirate categories (Category:Hair and Category:Anatomy-stub when I realized that there's already a much fuller (no pun intended) piece on the subject at Hair#Head hair. As far as I can tell, normally what happens is that we wait until the section becomes too long, then move it to the main article and write a short summary with a "Main Article:____" tag. In this case, the main article does exist but is basically a one-sentence stub. Sooo... what do we do? Personally, I'd call for changing the whole thing to a redirect in the meantime; even though NewGuy4 did a pretty decent opener, it wouldn't be a loss of that much work — but do correct me if I'm wrong, I mean absolutely no offense (I sure can't claim to have started an article longer than two sentences).

Oh, I should also mention that I went ahead with the "Main article" tag, with a mention of this one still being a stub, if only to attract a little more attention to the issue (for people already curious about head hair). Was that wrong? --Lenoxus 23:18, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

• "Notice that the hair is on the head" Duh. If only someone could write a longer article AND remove that picture. It's creepy. Looks like it's looking at me.64.40.57.69 00:19, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Merge

Does this really need its own article? It should be merged with Hair because they are practically the same topic. Kamope · talk · contributions 01:28, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Agreed; this is absolutely unneccesary and self explanatory. If more information were given it may be appropriate to have a seperate article.--Elysianfields 23:49, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

In other languages there is an article on head hair see sitelinks Timelezz (talk) 17:09, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

• Head hair → Hair (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

Suggest deletion: Previously it redirect to hair#head hair which no longer exists. Also no section specifically about head hair exits on en:wiki. Redirecting to 'hair' will not give the visitor a satisfying answer when s/he is specifically looking for head hair. Also, I could not find info about head hair on the English Wikipedia. Other languages do have an article on head hair, so it seems a 'forgotten' subject. A red link will motivate Wikipedians to write about it. Timelezz (talk) 20:58, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

• Keep. At least with this redirect, if someone looks for Head hair they will find an article which covers human head hair (among other types of hair), and which includes links to other related topics such as Human hair color and Hairstyle. That seems more useful than giving them no article at all. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:23, 25 December 2013 (UTC)
• Weak keep I'd say delete if I could really picture a separate article on head hair, but right now I can't. I don't think this is a very useful redirect, but neither can I see much of a benefit in deletion. --BDD (talk) 18:33, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
