This page came up in Image Pickin' a little while back and we were wondering if not having bangs is even a trope. I could see this being retooled into a useful trope (Slicked Hair Of Evil or some such), but as it stands it is a questionable page at best. What do you guys think?

If it's anything, it's a visualization trope. The only time I've seen it have any meaning to characters/plot is when it's an embarrassing feature.

That description does sound like good old non-trope People Sit On Chairs. Support rename/repurpose/rework into actual tropes such as suggested Slicked Hair Of Evil.

There are possible tropes, like the aforementioned Slicked Hair Of Evil. Any valid tropes would have to be about examples whose slicked-back hair isn't a part of a cohesive ensemble, like a greaser or a mobster.

I have to agree that it's PSoC as-is.

This really seems too broad and too vaguely written. It's trying to encompass about half of all hair styles. It's useless in it's current form and has a terrible name. I think there could be related tropes, but this page is none of them and should be cut. Real tropes can go through the YKTTW.

Read the page People Sit On Chairs.

Bump, if this page is just slicked back hair, then lets just cut this thing.

As it stands, this isn't a trope. And it probably makes more sense to cut it then rework it into something like the suggested Slicked Hair Of Evil - that's better done on YKTTW. So give it the chop.

Sounds like one to cut to me.
