(rare) non-philtrum moustache

Wikipedia lists this as a synonym for this type of facial hair, but it's suspiciously lacking elsewhere. The phrase "a p~ m~" gets only four Google hits; there's nothing in Books. Equinox 02:09, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Even if we can find enough citations, I would oppose this as SOP. Kiwima (talk) 02:58, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Surely all moustaches are philtrum moustaches, so it isn't a 'type of'. — Saltmarsh. 05:27, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Not quite all. Maybe 99%, judging from an image search Siuenti (talk) 22:59, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Does everyone agree that the philtrum is the bit in the middle? Siuenti (talk) 23:19, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I have a little philtrum. Wherein my spilltrum flows. When I am feeling illtrum. And runny at the nose. (Willard Espy, I believe) Kiwima (talk) 00:03, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is a philtrum mustache.
A philtrum mustache is not any mustache that happens to cover the philtrum; it's a moustache only over the philtrum or only slightly wider than the philtrum, also known as a toothbrush mustache, a Hitler mustache, a Charlie Chaplin mustache, or an Oliver Hardy mustache. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 21:33, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I can find sources that mention this as an alternate name for such a moustache, but none that actually use it. Can anyone else find a use? Kiwima (talk) 19:42, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
