List of nudity in music videos

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Seems to be a non-notable junction. Entirely trivial, with most entries being "various models". Tagged for sources and notability since 1/08 with no improvements, and I doubt that it could be sourced at all, except in individually notable cases (such as "I Melt", which got banned from CMT because of a nude scene).

 * Damn! No images.  What a ripoff. Mandsford (talk) 21:29, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

etc. This list is too broad to be useful, it will contain thousands of members. Maybe even break it down by skin color and sex and the type of nudity: frontal, buttocks only, sexual organs, etc. Drawn Some (talk) 22:47, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. If this is an acceptable list then just go ahead and split it into:
 * 1) List of male nudity in music videos
 * 2) List of female nudity in music videos
 * 3) List of nudity in music videos of indeterminate sex


 * Keep. I hadn't known that about REM, Placebo or TaTu, for example. So I found the article educational! The topless bit in Pop Song 89 is notable:, same with Protege Moi: (the director also made the film Irreversible) and same with Tatu:. I'm sure many of the other examples can be shown to be notable.

 * Comment this list is woefully incomplete. There are so many music videos from France that have nudity in them. 76.66.202.139 (talk) 05:08, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep but use stricter criteria--at least for the more recent years (eg, topless is no longer all that significant). Possibly even limit to known performers, not just some person in the background. DGG (talk) 22:39, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep as there are some notable Music Videos within this, I'd say stricter criteria would be along the lines of "Rock DJ" by Robbie Williams and "Womanizer" by Britney Spears. Afkatk (talk) 07:53, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. Per DGG. If stricter criteria were applied, this could be encyclopaedic and well worth keeping. HJMitchell    You rang?  18:28, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:OR and WP:NOTDIR. There is no single source proving why just videos featuring nudity are notable. Otherwise we will soon have List of music videos featuring dogs and List of identical twins in music videos and List of music videos where the people use forks to eat meat and... Pure listcruft.--Ioannes Pragensis (talk) 20:27, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
