Amusing dicdef, but a dicdef nonetheless. How 'bout a nice transwiki? - Lucky 6.9 01:36, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)

  • There's already a pre-existing entry at wiktionary. I think it's possible that this could be expanded beyond a dicdef. Maximus Rex 08:27, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • It has possibilities to explain changes in fashion and its replacement with the "buzz cut", which makes it encyclopedic. keep Dunc_Harris|☺ 09:03, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Merge with hairstyle or baldness and redirect. Also, change spelling to combover. Exploding Boy 09:41, Jul 21, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. With work, this could become a nice encyclopedic article about a very common hairstyle. Kevyn 13:04, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Has potential for an encyclopedic entry on its cultural signifigance. -FZ 13:34, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Sounds good to me. Let's move it to cleanup. Who knows? Maybe we have a future featured article here. :^P - Lucky 6.9 17:04, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. It's a stub, not a deletion candidate. Bacchiad 18:01, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Surely there's potential for expansion here? I'll add acouple more notables. Noisy 00:06, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. If USA Today can have an article on Giuliani's switch from combover to slickback, then it's encyclopedic. I would definitely nominate this for article of the week once it survives vfd. - DropDeadGorgias (talk) 18:02, Jul 23, 2004 (UTC)
