These are straight dumps of the KJV Bible text, which Wikisource already has. This is not textbook content. Uncle G 15:02, 8 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete agreed. If these texts are already on wikisource, then they have no business being here. However, we should give the authors some amount of time, in case they want to rewrite these pages into annotated discussions of the originals, that would be more of an "Understanding the Bible" book, and less of a direct dump. If nobody wants to undertake this task, then kill it. --Whiteknight T C E 16:10, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - but be cautious and see that things change on this Wikibook. The Christianity Wikibook has already been  a subject of VfD discussions, and the earlier discussion here was to keep this Wikibook in general.  The intention with this Wikibooks is to provide annotated commentary on the source text of the bible.  On the whole, I think that is a good idea, and precisely one of the major objectives of Wikibooks.  As it stands with these modules, however, you are correct that this is just a textual dump of content that already exists on Wikisource.  These modules can simply be deleted completely and the references for all links can be changed to Wikisource instead.  It is mainly to know what the intentions of the editor who added this content and to know what direction they are going to go with this text.  If the intention is to simply post content with no (NPOV) commentary or annotations, this should be instead a Speedy Delete.


 * Delete - I agree that this should be deleted, if it is already in WikiSource. However, give the authors some time to backup a copy, just in case they want to use it some other way.
 * Delete - There are enough copies of the KJV version around that the "authors" can find it elsewhere. Gentgeen 00:32, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Concensus was to delete. Also, deserves to be a speedy delete due to the fact that it was a fork of Wikisource content. Crazy thing though, the content on Wikisource was moved to here on Wikibooks and deleted on Wikisource. I reverted the content on Wikisource and have put the links from Wikibooks going straight to Wikisource instead. --Rob Horning 07:42, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
