Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/Help:Books

Help:Books
Another redundant help page. Created by as Wikibooks:Books and later moved by Jguk. The definition is on Glossary, the naming convention on WB:NP and the template on Template_messages/Navigation. See some relevant discussion on the talk page (which should maybe be copied in with this discussion when archived if deleted). Swift (talk) 14:57, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Merge with Naming policy

 * additional discussion about deleting this page

Actually, I think a redirect to Naming policy and deletion of this page is the best way to go since there really is not much information in this page. --Martin Kraus (talk) 09:33, 2 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't see anything here that can be merged into WB:NP. I'd like to see a page on navigational aids, however. It could go into Using_Wikibooks/How_To_Structure_A_Wikibook or on a new page (e.g. Help:Navigation). Once that's done we should just delete this page. --Swift (talk) 10:13, 2 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I think the following line:
 * (required) name the modules as follows: /
 * is already on WB:NP and the whole definition of a "book" should be merged into WB:NP because it is a good idea to define what a book is in order to establish a naming policy for it.
 * Regarding navigational aids: The page that you are looking for is probably: Template_messages/Navigation. (I'm never sure whether such links should be included in the Using Wikibooks book. And if yes, in which format (hyperlink or reference?).) --Martin Kraus (talk) 10:58, 2 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure we really need a definition of what a "book" is. We already have WB:WIW to define the scope of a wikibook and Help:What is a module to define the module concept in more technical terms. The definition of a book in terms of a collection of modules is already at Glossary. What, exactly, do you want to add to the Naming Policy?
 * Regarding navigational aids: Nope, Template_messages/Navigation is a list of templates (and shouldn't evolve beyond that). What I'd like is a page that discusses best common practices and different approaches in navigational use. See WB:MOS and the talk page discussion. --Swift (talk) 12:44, 2 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I was just thinking of the sentence "A collection of modules associated together is called a book." from this page. It might be useful to repeat this sentence on WB:NP, at least when this page redirects to WB:NP. In any case, I think we agree that this page is not really necessary and can be deleted. Thus, the question is: where should Help:Books redirect to? Right now, I think that Help:What is a module is the best choice.
 * Looking at the discussion at WB:MOS I realized that this is a larger discussion: I'll keep out of it. :) --Martin Kraus (talk) 13:16, 2 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't think it has to redirect anywhere. Nothing of value links here. The page was created by a short time contributor (most of whose edits were on a book on longevity which was deleted after being moved to Wikipedia). Like many help pages it never seems to have been properly integrated into the set of help pages. I say we just delete this and Wikibooks:Books without creating any redirects in their place. --Swift (talk) 13:49, 2 January 2009 (UTC)


 * OK, could you change the template accordingly? I'm not sure how to properly start the discussion of a delete proposal. --Martin Kraus (talk) 14:18, 2 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Page [ tagged] and discussion [ started]. --Swift (talk) 15:03, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
