Turban effect

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I agree with the notability tag here. This is essentially an article on a specific journal article. It got some brief attention in popular press, but so do many studies. Perhaps this could be addressed at Islamophobia, if not WP:UNDUE. --BDD (talk) 13:29, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Merge - contents with Islamophobia. WP:NAD, but if Wikipedia were a dictionary, what is in this article is too narrowly focused and framed as part of a series on Islamophobia. Most of the links in the above "Find sources" lead to mentions of the "turban effect" as a fashion statement. Other religions besides Muslims wear turbans. Sikhs and many others non-Muslims in India wear turbans. — Maile  (talk) 14:40, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete - just a single academic paper mentioned in passing as "news." This is not a newspaper. This is not a particularly notable study, certainly one that is debatable as the article notes. This is worth deleting. If it becomes something that is covered in a book of similar studies, an article might be appropriate with a paragraph devoted to this study. In isolation, it is just one of thousands of papers that are published every year. Jason from nyc (talk) 15:12, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
