Speedy deletion of Rhetoric Society Quarterly
A tag has been placed on Rhetoric Society Quarterly requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

 * Hi User:Maryhedengren! I enjoyed your American Look article very much, although I think it deals with a subject that is already covered in Sportswear (fashion). I am merging most of your article into that article using your references (was able to find some of them on Google Books) which I hope is OK. I also don't think "The American Look" was an official/universal term in the same way that The New Look became - it doesn't appear to be as well documented or as widely/consistently used, despite the name of Rebecca Arnold's book and the term popping up in several publications and texts. I would suggest that it would be better as a redirect to the Sportswear (fashion) page unless you can expand it significantly enough to stand separately on its own merits.

Hey Mabalu I'm glad you liked it. It's been a year since I wrote that article, so the sportswear might have changed since I searched for and could not find information on the American Look. Part of the reason why American Look is more than just sportswear--fashion, yes, but also things like dental care, as pointed out in the chapter cited therein. That being said, I bow to your expertise in the fashion department. Maryhedengren (talk) 18:07, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
 * One observation I'd make is that it definitely wasn't a McCardell introduction - although she was a major player in the field and did become a major player in defining the fashionable side of things. Do take a look at the Sportswear article to see how I've merged your work, I'd like to know if you have any thoughts. Mabalu (talk) 18:16, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
