Category:New Books I think this category should be deleted because it is not used. It is not a dynamic list and has only 18 pages. Arlen22 (talk) 21:52, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Yes I know that, but the category is not used and further more the template only shows the list of books in the category. It would be better to delete the Category and make a true list of newly created books. Or maybe I am way off. When are books added to this category? If as soon as they are made, then I am right on. But if books are added when they are complete then this is a good category. Arlen22 (talk) 23:14, 31 July 2009 (UTC)


 * How can you say the category is not used, if you know that? uses the category for its list. Books are added to the list by using .  is added to new books when they are first created and usually kept on a page for about 2 weeks. Its no different from how  is used on your newly created library page. Should we delete all those categories too than? Before using a dynamic list to generate new books it was done so manually.

 * Symbol keep vote.svg Keep. I agree with darklama, it is good to keep a list of newly created books. I agree there are difficulties, I think lots of times books don't get added to it, and it seems to me books stay in there longer then two weeks.  But overall I think it is helpful.
