Wikibooks:Featured books/Nominations/Removal/Quenya

Quenya
I vote to denominate Quenya as a featured book. It's content is small and no more than the book, Korean, mentioned below. Not to leave out that Quenya is a useless fictional language whilst Korean is a real, widely spoken language. Based on the votes below for Korean, I move to de-featurise Quenya. --Girdi (talk) 22:55, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|15px]] Support Of course. Poor coverage, and even so, the content itself does not belong on Wikibooks per Pilingual Primer and its demise and eventual deletion. I recommend immediate denomination. Laleena (talk) 01:27, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol comment vote.svg|15px]]  - If you think the content doesn't belong on Wikibooks, then nominate it for deletion, citing policy. I haven't had the chance to review the book yet, but would you mind citing which criteria this book fails to meet so I can watch for that? – Mike.lifeguard  &#124; talk 02:34, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol comment vote.svg|15px]]  Well, hold on, I don't think it should be deleted. It is an artificial language that I can see Lord of the Rings fans using and being interested in. (I am not one, I am actually anti-artificial languages, but regardless). I think this book is not as structured well as Spanish and French, which are prime examples of what a language featured book should look like. Then again, if you actually would delete Quenya, then might as well delete Unilingua, Esperanto, Lojban, Novial, and the other constructed languages, I actually don't have a problem with that for personal reasons. :) --Girdi (talk) 13:57, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Since Mike asked me on the topic, I'll respond: Mike, I think Quenya should be deleted (next thing on the agenda) because it has no real use (or practical, except in certain cases) and should be reserved for Wikia. Thanks, Laleena (talk) 23:53, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|15px]] Support removal - Making this a featured book in the first place was a mistake; let's rectify it. Thanks to Whiteknight for the explanation - now I know why I couldn't find the nomination despite searching all the archives several times. Thanks also to Laleena for the clarification; please see WB:VFD for that discussion. – Mike.lifeguard  &#124; talk 20:01, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|15px]] Support I support this book's removal from featured status. There is little information, and like what has already been said, there are plenty of other books that aren't featured that are just as good as this one.

 * [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|15px]] SupportRemove: A tiny book that in too small for its subject to be featured. Zginder (talk) 20:20, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|15px]] Support, per above. For me, language textbooks have tobe set out in graduating lessons. This is not. It's a good grammar guide, sure, but you could never actually learn the language via it. Regards, &mdash;Cel es tianpower háblame 12:48, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|15px]] Support Quenya had in the past been nominated as a "Book of the month" (BOTM), back when we still picked a book every month to feature on the main page. Once we stopped doing BOTM, and created this "featured books" thing instead, all the old BOTM books automatically were made "featured". In other words, the only reason this book is featured now is because somebody thought it was good several years/months ago. I would wholeheartedly agree that it is no longer worth being featured. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 13:16, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * To note here, the reason why a removal forum was even added in the first place was to address the issue of rising standards as other Wikibooks have become much more developed. When this book was featured as a Book of the Month, it really was one of the best of what Wikibooks had to offer.  But that standard has changed since then, and I consider this to be a sign of the maturity of Wikibooks rather than an offense against this particular Wikibook.  I think this particular language guide could be enhanced to again be worthy of featured book status, but it will take some effort from those who enjoy the study of that particular language to help in improving the content and making it something worthy of being "the best of Wikibooks".  On the whole, this is speaking volumes about the progress that has been made in the past year by Wikibooks participants, and this is very good news indeed that a book of the month is being de-listed for this purpose.  --Rob Horning (talk) 03:15, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Done. General support to remove this book from the listings. I have created to highlight books that had previously been featured, but were de-listed due to rising community standards. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 19:24, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
