Bear (color)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

dictionary definition, non-notable, tautological microstub. "Bear is a color that is a representation of the average color of the fur of the common North American black bear" and a third of those words are redundant. bobrayner (talk) 09:04, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete Compare the quote from the article on the black bear's colouring: Despite their name, black bears show a great deal of color variation. The article's lead description contradicts known fact. Is this article not a hoax? Even if not, it still refers to a term that is unproven to be anything other than rare and archaic.

 * Delete as a non-notable, poorly-sourced dictionary definition of a color.--Slon02 (talk) 19:27, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Oh, my, another non-notable color; I thought we had killed most of these. The use of the word "bear" as a color is virtually nonexistent. It's not even clear what color "bear" is supposed to be a shade of: brown? black? gray? The graphic shows a dozen shades of gray, but "bear" is not one of them. --MelanieN (talk) 03:26, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
