Came here expecting at least some information on perception of beards, particularly on attractiveness and popularity across different societies, in different periods, and also in different subpopulations (e.g. different sexual orientations). This would surely be relevant and deserving of a section, would it not? (I have no information to contribute though unfortunately, beyond my personal opinion on them which is obviously not encyclopaedia content) Anditres (talk) 06:52, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There has been a history of images used on the infobox. I don't have time for the full story, but recently it was changed from Jack Passion[1], to Richard Stallman[2], to an unnamed person [3], back to Stallman, [4] then some random guy's selfie. [5]. I have removed the image for now and inserted a note to not add any image before a consensus can be formed here. 0xDeadbeef18:41, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
My suggestion would be this. The beard is the focus of the image, it's not of anyone famous, and is very high quality. (Hohum@) 13:28, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
IP 69.166.44.3, will you please explain why you keep removing this image, claiming in your edit summarie that it is "ugly" or "bad"? It seems to me to be a high quality image. Further, it seem to be appropriate for this page for the other reasons stated by Hohum above. Generalrelative (talk) 06:11, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Since there is no replacement image right now, I will reinstate the version including the image of Stallman which is appropriately licensed. The article should have an image detailing its subject, temporary removal is not the best option since this is a rather general article with potentially lots of traffic.

@Holzklöppel: Does the infobox need an image at all? If someone wants to know what a beard looks like, wouldn't they just scroll down and see illustrations for different kinds of beards? 0xDeadbeef04:00, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, I'll copy one of these into the infobox. The it's prominently displayed on both WP and other sites which process information from it, like DuckDuckGo. Holzklöppel (talk) 23:43, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
First of all:
The only race with the ability to grow facial hair is the Caucasian race. Asians and Native Americans initially called Caucasians "hairy bearded people with an extra bone in their forehead, sunken eyes, and hooked noses".
Growing a beard is a sign of Caucasian supremacy.
Notable Caucasian supremacist groups, such as the Taliban, wear beards.

It would really help me understand what the heck this is all about. 2600:1702:4910:4EB0:848F:79FB:A424:D83B (talk) 18:51, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Your second question is not permitted, and is also irrelevant. WP:V and WP:RS means all content comes from reliable published sources, not our own personal knowlege, analysis, or understanding. And much of your first comment similarly has no value here, because it does not have a cited reliable-source for it. And the first premise is manifestly total nonsense and includes borderline-racist myths. DMacks (talk) 19:45, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've seen black people with thick beards. The curliness of the hair can cause it to ingrow, so they tend to shave. Even Far Eastern men can grow some facial hair, though typically thinner than Europeans. Plenty of non-Caucasoids have facial hair.
To quote "Biologists characterize beards as a secondary sexual characteristic because they are (mostly) unique to one sex,[citation needed] "
Somebody wants a citation, for the fact that only men have beards? With the exception of some very few women who have facial hair, almost always just a little wisp. I mean, what would you even cite? The book "Men Have Beards And Women Don't" by Beardy McObvious? Was there a news story when someone discovered this fact? CITATION!? See, craziness like this is what puts people of donating to this shitheap.
