Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/How to Survive in Minecraft

How to Survive in Minecraft
Nominating this book and all its related pages. I believe it does not meet project scope: Wikibooks is not a video game strategy guide. This book seems only to serve as a walkthrough to the game which is counter to the project's scope. Only (discuss • contribs) 19:21, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
 * The exclusion of video game strategy guides has been controversial for as long as I've been on Wikibooks (which has somehow gotten to be quite a while, now). There have been some pretty strongly negative things said about the exclusion, which preferably we should track down in the archives and post a link here (rather than have me rattle off a flawed rendition from memory).  That's one of two reasons I declined to speedy-delete the book.  The other reason is, it looks as if a considerable amount has already been written, and if the community decides it should go, the author should definitely be given plenty of opportunity to move it elsewhere.  --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 19:42, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I've poked a bit in searching but haven't seen anything in my cursory glances. Requests for deletion/Final Fantasy VIII seems to have some discussion of it, but that's from 2009; I also saw some of the 2006/2007 discussions about implementing this policy in the first place.  I'm sure users who have been here longer than I have might know where else to look or have a better insight.  As an outsider to this project (but an admin elsewhere), I don't mean to ruffle feathers...just nominating based on the policies I saw in front of me.

 * It's a reasonable nomination based on stated policy, and imo your part in the matter should be understood as entirely well-meant, quite independent of whatever the community decides to do with the nomination. I think the discussion I'm remembering mentioned Jimmy Wales (or of course possibly called Jimbo), so that might provide a basis for keyword search. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 22:33, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
 * If we keep GUIDE unchanged then we should advise the contributor to use StrategyWiki. Otherwise, I would really like to guide through some games.--Jusjih (discuss • contribs) 04:10, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
 * My introduction to this issue was probably from a discussion in 2010 &mdash; which I do not recommend for itself (it starts with the words "I am not trying to stir up trouble"), but which does contain a probably-useful summary of how the policy came about &mdash; from the What is Wikibooks talk page, called "Wikia promotion", that was started by Thekohser. (For perspective, Thekohser's account has been globally locked again as of a few days ago.)  The summary was assembled by Abd; link.  I tentatively plan to remark here on the content after taking some time to think on it.  --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 15:27, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
 * although controversial, this would be better off at StrategyWiki than here at Wikibooks. Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 15:22, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
