List of censored T-shirts

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is an article that is an indiscriminate listing of every time something negative happened to someone wearing a t-shirt. The number of instances that this article covers is truly astronomical in number. Furthermore, what constitutes censorship is never clearly defined and arrest, threats of arrests, fines, lawsuits, offending police officers, being removed from a flight and being asked to remove a t-shirt are all included under the umbrella of this list even though many of these are not comparable.

 * Delete - Clothing controversies are enyclopaedic topics (for example, responses to Punk T-shirts in the 1970s are quite well recorded and documented) but an indiscriminate list such as this isn't really how to go about an article on the subject. Given that almost every single garment has, at some point somewhere, been the subject of controversy or bans (trousers for women, short skirts, shorter skirts, strapless dresses, etc...) a list of "censored" clothing is potentially enormous - this could potentially include all the thousands of instances where a child is sent home from school for not meeting the uniform code, which is excessive. Such instances, where notable, should be covered (with full citations) in appropriate articles, but are not really suitable for a list such as this. For example, one of the T-shirts in the list is given sufficent and appropriate coverage on its band's page. Mabalu (talk) 10:05, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
