How To Do Nothing
Pure nonsense and OR. Kayau ( talk &#124; email &#124; contribs ) 09:36, 2 June 2010 (UTC)


 * This work, even if categorized with the others, stands apart. It is extremely balanced and I would argue doesn't have an OR issue. It does stand on that gray area I mentioned some time ago, regarding philosophy and humanistics, it even covers some economic concepts. I think we had a RfD discussion on this work before or something on those lines (reading the talk page seems to indicate something like that). --Panic (talk) 10:31, 2 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Even if some of the facts quoted do sound rather silly (I wouldn't go as far as nonsensical), in no small part due to the lack of proper referencing, that was a rather interesting provocation... Unfortunately I don't think that would help its cause with regards to OR and related issues. --Duplode (talk) 12:06, 2 June 2010 (UTC)


 * This book and its motivation are mentioned in this Assistance reading room thread, which occurred just before most of the discussion on the book's main talk page. --Pi zero (talk) 17:56, 2 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Symbol keep vote.svg Keep but move it to the category of philosophy. Symbol redirect vote.svg Transwiki Doing nothing will never be classified as Self improvement (I have a strong distaste for this category in the first place, some of the works could be moved into other categories, for instance Living With Depression should be moved to psychology). Ultimately, disregarding the particular motivation behind the project, this is a stub, easily extended into something more consistent. --Panic (talk) 03:22, 3 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Symbol delete vote.svg Delete. To me this looks more like a self-contained essay rather than a stub. --Duplode (talk) 19:28, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I believe essays are fine at Wikiversity. --dark lama  14:26, 14 June 2010 (UTC)


 * or . I would be happy with either.  While I agree it could be philosophy, I have to agree that it is OR, and as such not appropriate here.  Which book/paper could one reference to support this philosophical essay? Since the essay was created in particular in response to things going on here at wikibooks, probably none.  Since darklama (indirectly) suggests a transwiki to wikiversity, this seems OK to me. Thenub314 (talk) 14:46, 21 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Symbol move vote.svg Move/ to somewhere that will have it (perhaps Wikiversity or the creator's user space). Someone must find it useful/interesting. —Internoob (Disc·Cont·Wikt) 03:24, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Or I suppose. —Internoob (Disc·Cont·Wikt) 18:40, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
 * A Transwiki is a deletion with an indication that it may be useful elsewhere, since the action requires administrative action and all administrative actions are requests that can be or not satisfied the transwiki vote even if not acted upon can later on be a guide for undeletion. A not acted upon transwiki (even if it is a minority of the opinions) isn't overruled by majority opinion for deletion or even keep.  --Panic (talk) 14:52, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
