Out of the three terms: Nude; Naked; Stripped, "Naked" is the most NPOV (i.e. it's right in the middle of the continuum).

Thus if keeping only one of these, I think it would make most sense to keep the one right in the middle.

Cultural differences?

It might be worth it for someone to add a little more information about how different cultures view nakedness/nudity/etc. What's here now seems like a pretty western viewpoint. Some countries and cultures are quite a bit less bothered by nudity. Doozer 05:21, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)

encyclopedic value

until someone can maybe add some sort of history or perspective to this article, im marking it for wiktionary as its basically so far a set of definitions with nothing really interesting, insightful, or very informational.

The covering of furniture legs in the Victorian era was probably more to protect them against damage than from anything against nudity (otherwise horses' legs would have been covered). There is a case for wiktionary with links, noting that different cultures/time periods have different attitudes. The comment on the US Presidents is irrelevant/prurient (and an indicator of the lack of security required).

Duplicate of Nudity

Check out Nudity article. I suggest we either consolidate Naked and Nudity or start some more articles like Nude, Without Clothing, Bare-Assed, and In Your Birthday Suit. User:MPS
