Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/Kabbalah

Kabbalah
I don't think we need such book. Author calls it "science" (and is listed in Template:Science bookshelf in spiritual science section) - but I have doubt about it. Again, the same situation as with Anarchism - text was copied from a website (link at Kabbalah/Body and Soul). --Derbeth talk 21:31, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Comment It should definitely be removed from the science bookshelf. Something like this might belong on a religion bookshelf, but not science. I haven't read the book, but if its from a webpage, thats a copyright violation. --Gabe Sechan 21:39, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
 * IMO this is case of "soapbox". It is likely that if we ask authors of this page for permission to use the text as GFDL, they will give it - but in fact, we don't want this ;-) --Derbeth talk 21:56, 15 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete Soapbox and not a textbook. Juliusross 01:47, 16 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Comment It does have some NPOV problems, but i think it serves purpose as either an annotate text (if we get more quotes from the kabbalah itself), or as simply a study guide for kabbalah. It definately doesnt belong on the science bookshelf, and it should not refer to itself as a science --Whiteknight T C E 15:21, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. This book is a clear policy violation, and i doubt it can be rescued in any reasonable timeframe. --Whiteknight T C E 15:03, 18 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Speedy Delete - This is a copyright violation through and through. I knew there was something fishy about this whole thing.  Copyright is also very propritary and "All rights reserved", unless there can be a formal statement from the author of this book granting copyright permission.  They have less than one week from when this discussion started in order to prove that copyright is granted.  There may still be other reasons to kill this Wikibook as well, so copyright permission alone is not sufficient to keep this here on Wikibooks.  Copyright violation is just a very good one and non-controvercial.  --Rob Horning 18:57, 16 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete/Speedy Delete Copyright violation is sufficient for speedy deletion. Otherwise, it is still non-NOPV.  I would be okay with a sympathetic description of Kabbalah, but this goes very far beyond a sympathetic description. --JMRyan 23:42, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Delete Not a textbook. Mikkalai 18:28, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - Violates WB:WIW (Wikibooks is not a soapbox). As it is, I tried to check Kabbalah against http://www.kabbalah.info, but I was unable to find a copyright violation, or understand most of the text, or determine that Kabbalah took from that web site (or Laitman's books) and not some other faction of Kabbalah. But that matters not; delete it. --Kernigh 06:13, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
 * The one module Kabbalah/Body and Soul is a copyright violation. --Kernigh 06:15, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Practically the whole thing is a copy from various sections from that site. I found multiple violations simply by doing a google search from extracts from the book.  Yes, I will admit that it isn't exactly the same organization, but that is just semantics.  The whole thing is a clear copyright violation and we simply can't legally keep this here on Wikibooks for that reason alone.  --Rob Horning 20:42, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

deleted - Removed due to copyright violation of content. All votes were also to remove as well. --Rob Horning 00:17, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
