Stripped of clothing

This is one of a series of contributions by this author on a decontamination / nudity / forcible stripping theme. Much of this appears to me to be idiosyncratic. Suggest incorporation of useful content into decontamination, and deletion of this article. Similarly for the other related contributions -- put useful content into decontamination, or into nudity, as appropriate, and delete the rest. -- The Anome 14:29, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Weak keep: Idiosyncratic, but relatively NPOV. Very awkward name, though, and a merge would be best, and decontamination would be best. Geogre 14:49, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Delete. This is someone's fantasy world. A proper, fact-based discussion on how privacy is handled in actual, documented cases of group decontamination would be well added to nudity, but this article is not headed in that direction. Sharkford 15:29, 2004 Oct 20 (UTC)
Delete, I think the external links section says it all. NPOV, no useful content, rumour mongering. -Vina 18:18, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Delete. Agreed w/ Sharkford. Wile E. Heresiarch 18:29, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Delete. Someone's a few bits short of a byte here. --Improv 20:24, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Specific constructive criticism would likely be more useful than the bits byte analogy. I've written for a number of print-based encyclopedias, and the comments that come back are usually very specific. It would be nice if Wikipedia could use a similar peer review process in which specific aspects of the article are identified, rather than vague inuendo about the author. Also the nice thing about having the article online is that others can edit it directly, so it would be possible to rework the article, as part of a peer review process.

Delete, then redirect to nudity. -Sean Curtin 02:02, Oct 21, 2004 (UTC)
Delete. More of the bizarre stuff like Beachwear. Rick K 06:14, Oct 21, 2004 (UTC)
Weak keep, if there's a better place for this, and someone's willing to work on it, it could become encyclopedic —siro χ o 10:03, Oct 21, 2004 (UTC)
Delete. Somebody's personal fantasy. — Gwalla | Talk 23:05, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Is it possible to keep the factual elements, such as the "nude, naked, stripped" continuum, into naked? All three could be merged into one article, but nudity is already a long article, so ideally there's still room somewhere for a broader philosophical overview of related concepts.
Keep as a necessary counterpoint to nude i.e. for balance and NPOV. See Nude, Naked, Stripped, i.e. I believe there should either be 3 articles (one for each), or just one article naked right in the middle, with a balanced treatment of both sides. Although I will admit that I've probably made a poorly written stripped article, I believe that, having studied the work of many artists and scholars who've questioned the neutrality of the term nude (i.e. nudism as a euphimism for nakedness, and nudity as a strongly biased term), the article could be rewritten to capture the other point of view. Maybe it could be converted into an article on strip searches, legal issues, or the like, because that's a point of view that falls way beyond the scope of the positive-spin aura around nudism/nudity/nude/nudists Glogger 14:46, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Steve, you have your own website where you can post little essays with your musings on stuff you find interesting. Wikipedia isn't the place for that. Stop treating Wikipedia as your personal blog. It's quite annoying. Wile E. Heresiarch 22:24, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)
