Doom
Not a textbook, already doomed per Jimbo, Jguk 21:50, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

'keep as per staff lounge discussion. RobinH 09:30, 31 May 2006 (UTC)


 * It's clear from the staff lounge discussion that whereas we can host textbooks for academic courses on Doom, Jimbo has said that as games walkthroughs are not textbooks, they should go. This is not a textbook for an academic course on Doom, therefore it does not belong. If someone knows somewhere it can usefully be transwiki'ed to, let me know, otherwise, unless it changes tack to turn it into a textbook very, very quickly, it will be deleted, Jguk 17:04, 1 June 2006 (UTC)


 * As I have mentioned previously, most of the content in Doom comes from Wikipedia. It seems that they kept the good content in Wikipedia:Category:Doom and sent their rubbish here. Doom is a textbook, but it is a textbook of trash. --Kernigh 17:25, 12 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete in this current form, but it can be restarted without prejudice as a textbook in terms of the topic. --Rob Horning 11:31, 15 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. While in theory all books about videogames do not need to be deleted, this one definately has no defense based on our current understanding of Jimbo's decision and WB:WIW. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 23:00, 6 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep As a game guide for Doom, this is invaluable. I don't know what others are basing their comments on but I found this to be extremely useful, and amongst the best resources (for Doom) on the Internet. --59.167.119.102 09:02, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
 * This may be an invaluable guide, and it's quality might be superb. However, wikibooks is not the place for videogame guides. I dont think anybody wants to delete this book outright, but it most likely should be moved to another website instead. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 22:39, 23 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. This is a book in the public domain and therefore must remain here. You can not just remove any book because you do not think it belongs. Many good books here including this one that could be deleted ought not to be. People work very hard to make these books and then others decide to remove them. That is not right at all. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 142.167.7.186 (talk • contribs) 04:38, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Just in case this is deleted, this book has found a new home: http://fantasywiki.elwiki.com/Doom Minun 19:30, 1 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment. If this book already is located at a new home, then it seems best for everybody to delete the version here, and redirect all potential readers and contributors to the new home. If nobody disagrees, i will delete this one within a week. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 02:35, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I think its been about one week now Minun 08:02, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Note - Minun has copied this book to his wiki, but has not copied the page history. Currently it provides a link back to wikibooks for pagehistories, so if we delete this book, his wiki will be in violation of the GFDL. -- SB_Johnny | talk 08:47, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I didn't know, I can change that, I can add the history  M in un  Spiderman  09:31, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Let us know when you've finished... this isn't a problem for wikibooks, but it would be a problem for your wiki (essentially putting the content there in violation of the GFDL). Do you have import enabled? That would be the easiest way to do it. -- SB_Johnny | talk 11:08, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, I have import enabled (my host does), i'll be able to use that, cheers  M in un  Spiderman  14:29, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
 * DONE! Its now safe to delete the page  M in un  Spiderman  14:58, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Deleted. (Undelete?) - I'll leave a redirect on the main page to the other wiki. -- SB_Johnny | talk 22:18, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
