User:VKing/list of blondes

Proposed list of well known people with natural blond hair
The most occurring varieties of blond are white, beige, ecru, golden, and dark (but not black). In fact the last mentioned variety (dark blond) often is some kind of dark gray, but to prevent an association with that other kind of gray hair, for now the term "dark blond" is preferred. "Ash blond" would also be a clear term, but because any association of human hair with ashes is considered unsuitable, this term isn't used here either. Often the relevant person's hair was much lighter at a younger age, but turned darker later on. (Black haired persons have never been any lighter before).

A common characteristic of all varieties of blond is, that the colour of the eyes is blue. Of course there are also black haired persons with blue eyes, but they can not be considered blond, nor can brown-eyed persons with other than black hair (mostly brown).

''(* behind a name means, that the builder of this list is not sure; which doesn't mean, that he's quite sure about all other data, but sometimes the on-line available pictures leave very much doubt; (for instance about the question whether hair-dye is used or not.)

Persons with natural golden blond hair




History of this subsection

This section has partly been copied from "User:CDA/listofredheads". On that list there were many names, that didn't belong there. This urged VKing to correct it and while doing so, he realised, that quite a few names, that did belong on it, were lacking. As a result, the first part is predominantly made by him, whereas the second part ("To continue") is made by CDA, be it corrected by VK.

The last mentioned tried to contact CDA as follows via his Talk page:

High, Wouldn't it be more correct, to move the content of "User:CDA/listofredheads" to your real (CDA) Userpage and delete the other one? After all it's hard to imagine, that it's according to Wp's rules, to have as many usernames, as one suggests new articles. --VKing (talk) 03:46, 1 December 2008 (UTC)


 * You know what, we're going to move it to this page, because in fact it's a proposal for an article, written by you. At the same time we're going to avoid the word "redhead", because that can be seen as more or less offensive. The relevant persons are/were not "redheaded", but golden haired;--VKing (talk) 18:37, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
