Barbie impacted the lives of many men and women. She taught them independence. She taught them that they could be anything they wanted to be if they worked at it. Many women saw Barbie as a rolemodel, not because of her tiny waist but because she inspired them to be the best they could be.

For all the people who said she had a negative impact what they dont realise is that barbie is a doll she is not real. She isn't reesponsible for what people do when they see her. If someone saw a terrorist and admired them and decided to become one is it the original terrorists fault? exactly. If people want to look like her even though it is not humanly possible then it is not Barbies fault.

Re this edit: this was reverted for several reasons. The television commercial part is unsourced personal analysis. The Barbie Syndrome part uses WordPress as a source which is unsuitable per WP:SPS, and "Feminists feel" is a WP:WEASEL statement. It appears that students on a Women's Studies course are being encouraged to edit this article. Please bear in mind that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a school essay. It is not about adding personal analysis that has not appeared in reliable secondary sources. Material added should also have long term notability and not be based solely on current controversies in media coverage, to avoid WP:RECENTISM.-- ♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 06:44, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
It might be a good idea to add more about the symptoms and warning about one having Barbie Syndrome. We could include how it leads to eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia, and also being self-conscious.
Another person who is an example of having Barbie Syndrome is Cindy Jackson. She has had the most plastic surgeries in the world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lil' Mischief ( talk • contribs) 05:12, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
I don't think source #88 should be used, especially in this topic on Barbie Syndrome because it contains a video that is fairly controversial. Especially when Mr. Jedlica states, "Children play with Barbie and Ken all the time so it's fed to us from a very young age that that is the epitome of what is beautiful or what is handsome..." when explaining why he decided to go through so many plastic surgeries. If this kind of source is allowed, I think another source that shows the health risks of the barbie syndrome should also be included in this part of the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mtakemot ( talk • contribs) 09:51, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

Re this edit: a lot of it is unencyclopedic because it is social sciences blather based on the personal opinions of the writer involved. It would work in a a social sciences essay, but Wikipedia articles should stick to factual statements.-- ♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 07:05, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

First, The controversy of Barbie that provided on the website is a little bit chaotic. You can laid them out the point by point. Secondly, the controversies laid on the website is not so comprehensive and persuasive. Search much reliable resource before writing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.51.93.160 ( talk) 21:11, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
I strongly agree and would like to put in sub-categories of 'Body Image', 'Diversity', 'Barbie as a role model' and 'Safety'. I am unsure what the Barbies in the microwave bit is doing in this section - it's interesting, but doesn't seem important enough to make the Wikipedia page, and doesn't really fit under 'Controversy'. The term 'evaluation' seems odd too - what exactly is meant by this? Squitchtweak ( talk) 05:55, 23 November 2017 (UTC)Squitchtweak

The Barbie doll franchise is one of the most successful toy brands of all-time with billions of dolls sold worldwide and comes in so many different characters or "Careers". For this reason the list of all of the different barbie dolls should be more easily accessible and other than just being listed at the beginning of the article. Giggleshack603 ( talk) 00:42, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
Shouldn't the Barbie links box be at the bottom of the main Barbie article, so people can easily find pages like family and friends?
Also, would a page about different ranges of Barbie dolls be appropriate? Eg. Fashionistas, So In Style, The Look, Generation Girls, I Can Be, Dreamtopia...
Squitchtweak ( talk) 11:26, 18 April 2018 (UTC)Squitchtweak
Hi, perhaps I didn't really make that clear. I'm also not a fan of 'list of X'. I was going to write a little about significant RANGES of Barbie dolls such as 'The "I Can Be range was launched in 201X and comprises dolls with a number of different careers, meant to inspire children. The 'So In Style' range was launched and features new face moulds for African American dolls' - that sort of thing. I'd appreciate help from other barbie fans. This could then merge the article for 'Totally Hair Barbie' (best selling doll). A list of individual dolls would be absurd. Squitchtweak ( talk) 14:35, 18 April 2018 (UTC)Squitchtweak

Seems to be getting a lot of independant news coverage.
There's other news sources reporting on this as well. I think there should be something about the doll line included in the article, but I'm not sure where the best place would be. No current section seems to fit, but I'm not sure this warrants its own section, either. Any ideas from other editors on what to do? Clovermoss ( talk) 02:53, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
It seems according to this article, [1] That the ban has been lifted, but the page here presents it as permanent and still ongoing.

We at least need a section on this, if not a stand-alone article (and there's enough sourcing available for the latter). It's a line with a more diverse variety of body shapes than the original (including curvy, petite, tall, etc.; I think there are nine), plus other diversity nods (wheelchairs, baldness, vitiligo, cultural items like hijabs, etc., etc.). It's mentioned in quite a number of articles relating to the Barbie stuff, but I cannot even find a place to redirect Barbie Fashionistas and Fashionistas (Barbie) much less more specific product-range names like Petite Fashionistas AKA Fashionistas Petite, etc. I know jack about Barbie, so I really have no idea whether this should be located, other than the general principle of "start with a section at the main article if you have only a little material to add, or start with a stub article if you have multiple non-trivial independent reliable sources". The latter should be easy for someone who wants to do it: [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] (the last two are some far-right pushback about one of them). That was all just from first page of search results, and excluding non-news sites.
I'm working a little on improving the Creatable World dolls article, since I'm getting a bunch of those for my niece. Conservative backlash (and even some "progressive" complaints) sparked my interest, which led me sideways to Fashionistas, but topics like this are not really my forte. Didn't even know who Skipper was until just now. When I played with dolls they were "action figures" and had names like Boba Fett. Heh. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 08:46, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Along with diversity of race, Barbie also has limited representation of different sexuality's. However, Dusty, the Dyke Barbie challenged Barbie's stereotype but including women to do not have girly characteristics and play sports. [1] 23.31.202.67 ( talk) 18:14, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
Not done: I'm not really sure if this meets WP:DUE and is notable enough. According to this source, "In 1974, Kenner, a now defunct subsidiary of General Mills, manufactured a pair of dolls, Dusty and Skye, who were roughly the height of Barbie dolls (11 1/2" tall) but resembled them in no other particular. Their waists were rather thicker than the average Barbie, their chests considerably smaller, and their feet flat, rather than form molded to accommodate stiletto heels. Instead, Dusty and Skye wore platform sandals, tennis shoes, and cowboy boots." In other words, these were not official Barbie dolls manufactured by Mattel.-- ♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 18:20, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

I haven't seen it mentioned here, but I feel this is significant. Mattel collaborated with a popular YouTube content creator, CookieSwirlC, to make a doll and playset. [1] This unique doll almost feels like a Career Doll and Role Model merged into one. The playset celebrates being a content creator as a career (I think this is a first?) and Cookie herself was part of the Barbie Be Anything tour to celebrate 60 years of inspiring the limitless potential in every girl and to bring inspiring stories from local role models. [2] Also, Barbie and CookieSwirlC made a video together as part of Barbie's popular YouTube series "Ask Barbie" where Barbie refers to Cookie as a Roberts sister. [3]

I tend to abstain from editing this article due to a COI. Noticed, though, that Mattel released an Ida B. Wells Barbie recently.

under "Barbie Syndrome": "It is most often associated with pre-teenage and adolescent females"... using "females" to refer to girls is dehumanizing and in my opinion would be better phrased with just "girls". "It is most often associated with adolescent girls". or "It is most often associated with female adolescents"... although adolescent girls seems to fit better to me because it is with regard to children's gender and not their sex. 2600:4040:A034:A300:59E7:D2EE:ED80:3D30 ( talk) 22:11, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

Re this edit: As I said previously, the doll's WP:COMMONNAME is Barbie and it is never sold under the name Barbara Millicent Roberts. There seems to be a certain amount of WP:RECENTISM driven by the release of the new Barbie film. The full name doesn't need to be in the opening sentence. ♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 12:52, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
The full names are mentioned in many articles for fictional characters. See the characters with their own articles linked at List of Barbie's friends and family (i.e. Skipper Roberts, Francie Fairchild), List of The Simpsons characters (i.e. Homer Jay Simpson, Bartholomew Jojo "Bart" Simpson), List of characters in the Family Guy franchise (i.e. Peter Löwenbräu Griffin Sr., Stewart Gilligan "Stewie" Griffin), List of SpongeBob SquarePants characters (i.e. Squidward Q. Tentacles, Eugene Harold Krabs). More can be found at Lists of fictional characters by work. MOS:INUNIVERSE mentions not including titles and birth dates of fictional characters, but doesn't explicitly mention full names. I believe they should be included on Barbie and Ken's pages, as they are included on other Barbie character pages, as well as many other fictional character pages. Strugglehouse ( talk) 16:05, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
The lead should summarize the page, and Barbie's in-universe identity and media presence is a big part of the page. See Category:Barbie for a directory to Wikipedia's articles on the topic. This page has become about more than the doll, and when its lead summary drifts from the doll that's where Barbie's full in-universe name should be found. Randy Kryn ( talk) 06:10, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
Why is Barbenheimer in the See Also section? I feel like that should only bee a "See Also" in the article for the Barbie film. It just doesn't seem relevant enough here, especially when the See Also section doesn't even include the film. NowInHD ( talk) 16:37, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
Which Japanese company produced Barbie dolls in the early days? Well, the Japanese Wikipedia's バービー article names Kokusai Boeki ((株)国際貿易) as such. But, as with many other articles in that edition, the article does not provide enough sources.
I know blogs cannot be cited as sources, but this post from Unseen Japan describes how the first Barbie dolls and wardrobes were made in Japan, and it too names Kokusai Boeki. The post additionally mentions a book, the title of which can be literally translated as Barbie and Me, written by Fumiko Miyatsuka who designed Barbie's clothes during that period. Japanese Writer's House has a detailed summary about that book in English. JSH-alive/ talk/ cont/ mail 05:43, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

In the history section of the article the first sentence of the second pararagraph is "During a trip to Europe in 1956 with her children Barbara and Kenneth, Ruth Handler came across a German toy doll called Bild Lilli." the name Kenneth should link to the page Kenneth Handler. Can someone please add this edit? 2601:806:8300:D0D0:7480:6009:E69F:BEB8 ( talk) 21:18, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
