Show The Forehead as currently written doesn't appear to be a trope. The description is vague and doesn't go explain much about what personality traits are commonly represented or what qualifies as the trope. The only thing the examples have common is that they have a hairstyle that shows their forehead. The name unlike most other Hair Tropes like doesn't indicate as to what trait or personality is needed. It's also isn't thriving very well with 79 wicks and 5 inbounds and judging by edit history it's almost two years old. Should redefine this, just cut it or make other forehead tropes and then cut?

The only tropes I can think is that it shows nobility or evil.

It does also imply intelligence, due to it emphasising a large head. Whether it's true or not. Or just age.

The Internet misuses, abuses, and overuses everything.

Yeah, it shows intelligence and age too. We could maybe try making other tropes to replace this one since I don't think we can redefine to one thing.

It seems the page was cutlisted but it was rejected since it's still living.

Clocking due to lack of activity.

I agree that currently, it's a meaningless appearance trope—that is to say, not actually a trope. I like the suggestion to redefine it as an indicator of intelligence. That's definitely something I've seen. Other than that, I don't have any ideas.

Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.

Should we rename it to something like Forehead Of Intelligence?

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

No one seems interested in this. Locking up.
