In Memoriam: September 11, 2001
It looks like it was an attempted transwiki of The September 11th Wiki that was started after the 9/11 attacks in New York City and Washington D.C. Several attempts have happened to remove that wiki altogether, and I guess this was one of those attempts. This is a direct fork of that wiki, and in fact an exact copy of that front page. The debate over whether that content should be moved here to Wikibooks is perhaps valid, but there is no point in forking the effort until after that debate has gone through its full conclusion. There is still some activity on that wiki even now. And the apparent consensus on meta was not to have it on Wikibooks, but rather to MemoryWiki.org, a non-Wikimedia site. Wikibooks wasn't even listed as an option during the vote for that matter.

In short, if it has its own separate domain and wiki, why should it be mirrored on Wikibooks? --Rob Horning 17:37, 21 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I'd have no problem with you speedying this, Rob. It's clearly not within our remit, Jguk 19:09, 21 March 2006 (UTC)


 * The only reason why I even hesitate at all is because the person who is listed as the first author was one who I got into a little bit of a fight over with the Wikimania proceedings, and came up just short of a few votes to becoming a member of the Wikimedia Foundation board member (taking 3rd place instead). Indeed a very likely person to get the nod during the next election cycle.  --Rob Horning 23:40, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Deleted - I know that I'm moving fast here compared to most other VfDs on this issue, but I havn't seen even one single reason to keep this here. Thanks for the comments. This can be archived in about a week. --Rob Horning 14:27, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
