English in Use/Vocabulary
This is early for this page, but I think it needs to be listed here so that it isn't forgotten. I would say that a page dedicated to the entire English vocabulary really shouldn't be here and is already a project of its own. -within focus 04:06, 13 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment: I like the idea of doing this, but I think it should be tried on wiktionary, not on wikibooks. Doing something like that for "babel.wiktionary.org" might be a nice project, but it should be incubated on meta, not on WB. (IOW, Delete, with apologies). -- SB_Johnny | talk 21:10, 13 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. Such a page would certainly be useful for learning english if english wasn't your first language, or if you were a young child learning to read, write, and speak. Now, with that said, there needs to be a definite upper-limit to the ambition of this page: An entire list of all english vocabulary is by definition a "dictionary", and would belong at wikitionary. Howevever, if this stays a small, limited list of important nouns and verbs, then it can stay as a glossary to the english book. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 02:35, 14 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete or Merge - It belongs in wiktionary, which probably already has a category for simple english words. Wikisquared 13:05, 30 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Move to English as an Additional Language or transwiki. These words are too basic for the target audience of this book. Can we not get a comment from a contributor at English? Brian Brondel 17:22, 3 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Don't delete and Don't transwiki to Wiktionary. This may be useful for a book teaching English. According to the English Introduction page, this doesn't belong in that book. Perhaps it would best belong in a new book (Elementary English?) as it could still be useful for those learning/teaching English to natives, but could also simply go in English as an Additional Language. As I understand it, Wiktionary is a dictionary, not a place for images of words. --Swift 18:20, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Kept. By my count, we have two votes to keep, 1 vote to delete, and several references to a merger with English as an Additional Language. None of this appears to be concensus, so I dont think any action will be taken (not by me anyway). However, if people would like to merge this page to a more appropriate book, that would be fine too. --Whiteknight (Discuss this) 14:11, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
