 * Strong Keep. Subject has a lot of results on Google and Google Scholar. Mr. Guye (talk) 22:08, 30 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep per WP:BEFORE - not liking them is not the same at not notable. I have to assume that's what's going on here because the nom hasn't given us much to go on and even the most basic Google search brings up plenty of results. There's 6 pages of Google News results alone - stuff from the last 30 days! Unless the nom wants to fill us in?  St ★ lwart 1 1 1 23:03, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Eh, you are assuming too much. The rationale you seek is WP:VAGUEWAVE. Nom is pointing to N and offering no rationale to support the gesture. Anarchangel (talk) 04:49, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - Article needs work, but there are a lot of reliable source hits for high-waisted trousers. XeroxKleenex (talk) 23:40, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. I wonder why all the different waistline articles can't be merged into one. But I think the content of this article should not be deleted.--Esprit15d • talk • contribs 01:42, 31 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Give It A Chance. We have an article for Low-Rise Pants, so we should have one for high waisted trousers too, instead of just mom jeans. I didn't add alot. It's just to get us started. We all have to start somewhere, and I would really appreciate contributions and expansions because I can't do this all by myself without taking several hours... talk • contribs 21:450, 30 July 2014 — Preceding undated comment added 02:50, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - Legitimate subject for an encyclopaedia on everything. To User:Esprit15d, I see your point, but there are so many different kinds of waistline that to merge them all into one article would make it unwieldly and ridiculously long. I could see a case for combining this into a general article on high waists summarising the different above-normal-waist lines such as Empire line, high waisted trousers, etc, but then, in this case, what we call "high waist" is actually just a normal waistline - we are so used to low rise nowadays that when faced with a natural waist, it's like it's hooked on under our ears - so it would be arguably not right for such an article. So, keep. Mabalu (talk) 12:24, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
