The topic of this page

The content of this article was split from Nude photography, and then expanded. Any content regarding non-artistic images (glamour, Playboy, etc.) should be placed in the more general article, not here.FigureArtist (talk) 17:13, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Original images as opinions of value

The policy on original images states: "Original images created by a Wikipedian are not considered original research, so long as they do not illustrate or introduce unpublished ideas or arguments, the core reason behind the NOR policy".

This would generally exclude uploaded images as illustrations for visual art articles, since claiming the status of art would be original research unless supported by a citation that the image has passed some test, such as being in an art museum. The test I propose for this article is that the image or the photographer has their own article in WP which substantiates their status. All of the photographers mentioned in this article have their own biographical articles. If anyone knows of a free image of a nude photograph by any photographer currently in WP as an art photographer (not fashion, glamour, porn, or other commercial work), then it would pass the test. (It would appear that the NFCC policy is being strictly enforced for biographies of photographers since their articles rarely have any of the artist's own work).FigureArtist (talk) 17:13, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted a contributed image on the basis of the above. It is a nice photo, but basically self-promotional. FriendlyFred (talk) 12:50, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Boudoir photography

There should be a 'differs-to' section towards Boudoir photography.

Remove image

Neither image nor photographer merits "art" designation. The article is already well-illustrated. WriterArtistDC (talk) 22:22, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
