Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/Introduction to Philosophy/What is Ethics

What is? Wikibook stubs
I am merging three VfD requests together, because they all have similar content and are essentially the same thing repeated three times:


 * What is Ethics?
 * What is Ethics (note the lack of question mark, hence separate page)
 * What is Epistemology?

These are more than stubs, but lack the detail that comparable Wikipedia pages would have. These have also been orphaned and in all three cases the last edit was in 2004, and only by a single author. This could be good stub material for some sort of philosophy Wikibook, but I am inclined to remove material like this. I suspect the What is Ethics? may be a copyright violation, but I can't find the source material for it. --Rob Horning 17:09, 5 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Merge with Introduction to Philosophy. That book has pages with these titles (give or take a question mark).  I suspect that these they were originally intended to be part of that book, were lost due to to poor naming, and recreated.  At least some of the apparently lost content is better than the replacement (unfortunately, that is not saying much).  What is Ethics? does not read to me like a copyright violation&mdash;or at least it doesn't look to me like it was taken whole from the work of a professional philosopher.  --JMRyan 08:00, 6 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment What might have happened here is that the modules became orphaned after someone edited the Introduction to Philosophy table of contents to rename the modules, without actually renaming them. When this happened at Engineering Acoustics, many orphaned modules appeared. However, it appears that most of the text from the orphans of Engineering Acoustics was retained, while in this case it was lost. --Kernigh 00:01, 7 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment - Content was marked to be merged into existing Introduction to Philosophy Wikibook and no more action has taken place on this VfD. --Rob Horning 19:58, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
