It is as 'notable' as nude photography w/disclaimers CurtisNeeley (talk) 13:53, 19 December 2007 (UTC) CurtisNeeley (talk) 17:17, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

See the term fine art nude used repeatedly at fineartnude.comto describe photography. It has been around for over a decade I just thought it might fall under 'common sense' for notability. Did not want to be an ad by putting a link. CurtisNeeley (talk) 18:25, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

I have suggested to merge this article with Depictions of nudity. I don't see any vast difference that requires this to be a separate article except that the author has a web site and a special name for it. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 02:55, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] What is a merge?

I am not opposed at all to merging if it doesn't basically erase it. My website is HERE. I was an early adopter of the word figurenude and a figurenude is a particular type of depiction of nudity. I intend to write an article for figurenude. It would certainly be another candidate for merging? It was deleted once before, but Jerry Avenaim's use of the word will give it notability? Depictions of nudity is a very sad looking article in my opinion and I would rather them not get jumbled in there among the rest of that mess. —Preceding unsigned comment added by CurtisNeeley (talk • contribs) 03:13, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Merging means that the content is added to an existing article. In this case Depictions of nudity. If someone visited Art nude they would end up at Depictions of nudity. Rather than having two articles which basically cover the same topic, you could work to improve the Depictions of nudity article. As far as the figurenude article, it would need a lot of independent support to assert notability (and your web site should very likely be excluded). I don't think one person's use of the word gives it notability. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 03:26, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

If you would suggest I work on Depictions of nudity I believe I could certainly improve it so much it would basically be starting over and using several things already there. It is a jumbled useless mess. I would use the terms figurenude, art nude, erotic nude, etc. within it as types of depictions of nudity. It would basically be 10+ hours of hard work. It could be reverted anyway. Right? I will just not mess with an article for figurenude. It will not be notable till I am. That may never happen. CurtisNeeley (talk) 03:50, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Any edit runs the risk of being reverted. Hopefully if you put a lot of effort into rewriting an article, you could make an argument to support the changes. Just make sure to document why changes are made on the talk page so others can make input there instead of just reverting you. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 03:53, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
