Naturism (disambiguation)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This is not a valid disambiguation page: "Naturism" is not ambiguous, and none of the entries on this page are "encyclopedia articles covering topics that could have had the same title" (WP:DPAGE). Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 12:03, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep. The word is ambiguous, it's just that the other topics it can refer to have other, more common names. I've rewritten the page to make it clearer, mostly based on the OED entry (which lists four distinct meanings, only one of which is marked as rare and obsolete), and I've added a link to the French literary movement. I'm a bit unsure of the Naturopathy entry though: the OED lists one obsolete meaning (with a 19th-century example) that looks similar to this concept, but do we have anything reliable that the two words have been used interchangeably? (pinging ). – Uanfala (talk) 14:54, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * This is the version of the dab page I advocate keeping. I see that it has subsequently been expanded with links to a lot of subtopics of the main article. That's being discussed on the talk page. – Uanfala (talk) 16:39, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:D It is necessary to provide links and disambiguation pages so that readers typing in a reasonably likely topic name for more than one Wikipedia topic can quickly navigate to the article they seek. I have added a few more Naturisms. Lightburst (talk) 15:29, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
