Naturist Christians
OM (We shalt not use the lord's name in vain, especially during Lent :) delete! -a helpful pre-summary suggested by Adrian. &mdash;WAvegetarian&bull; CONTRIBUTIONS TALK &bull; EMAIL &bull; 05:23, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

It is n to the fourth: non-neutral, non-notable. I ded this earlier, but an IP, possibly the creator (I haven't checked), removed the tag. The article currently doesn't prove notability under the guidelines at WP:WEB. Even if the membership claim is true, I'm not sure that that makes it "one of the largest." WP:WEB requires proof through inlined links, reference, or EL section. I looked over their site and could find no mention of membership numbers and no awards, just that I would have to pay money to see all of their pictures of naked people. So that was a rather long and comprehensive nomination but it should allow for "per nom" to work rather well. &mdash;WAvegetarian&bull; CONTRIBUTIONS TALK &bull; EMAIL &bull; 01:36, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep and cleanup. 362,593 traffic ranking on Alexa. "Naturist Christians" (Christians advocating nudism generally, not the website specifically) are mentioned in Body Freedom Day: When a Clothed-Minded World Unraveled (2004) by Stuart Ward, per amazon.com search.  News coverage of the website and Xtian nudism generally at http://www.azcentral.com/ent/pop/articles/1207nudists1207-CR.html  There's also a video of Fox News coverage here http://64.233.179.104/search?q=cache:gx3JOa_KmZgJ:www.isabelifontana.com/ though it looks like maybe a local affiliate.  The article could possibly be generalized so it is not specifically about the website. Schizombie 07:01, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
