Wikpedia's definitions leave a lot to be desired, and can hardly be classified as definitive. I would never in million years call Def Leppard a glam band despite changing their style to become hugely commercial. Poison, Ratt, Crue, Twisted Sister, sure. Leppard no, Van Halen, no.
My definfition of glam or hair bands usually entailed very little talent packaged in makeup and hairspray (aka style over substance). There are exceptions like Bowie, Cooper and Sweet, none of whom would have fit the glam of the '80s definition anyway.
