Making an Island:The Island as a Secret Fortress
While many Wikibookians don't necessarily agree this book should even be on this project, this page in particular goes way over the top. The user who created this page made only these edits. I'm not deleting this myself only to get the opinion of another admin to confirm this really should be deleted, and give perhaps a final hope that this page could be transformed somehow with this threat of deletion. This is not to delete the whole wikibook, just this page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.191.51.214 (talk • contribs) 03:06, 17 Mar 2007 (UTC) (Tho this was a copy of what Rob Horning wrote originally - see comment)
 * Comment - interesting, I had planned to bring this to VfD today but an IP appears to have beaten me to is. Rob Horning placed a speedy tag on it about three weeks ago (with the comment used by the IP above) and I have no idea how many admins have looked at it but it remained undeleted.  I felt it should come here to generate some heat sorry - reach a consensus.  It does seem like rubbish but that has never stopped us keeping stuff in the past -- Herby  talk thyme 08:03, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Very Strong Delete - This page seems it is very much from a very awfully written Ian Flemming-like fan fiction. I was very tempted to simply kill the page out right, but I felt it deserved at least a second opinion, which is why I tagged it for deletion instead at least to let another admin get a few laughs before it was gone.  As I pointed out, I do not want to turn this into yet another VfD discussion about this book (it has survived two such discussions already), but this page certainly seems to be out of tone with even the rest of this book, and was added by an individual who certainly did not take the rest of this Wikibook seriously.  As something to move to a "deleted nonsense and other humor", it deserves a good chuckle.  But it certainly doesn't belong on Wikibooks in the main content namespace.  --Rob Horning 15:16, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * "Very awfully written"? :-( --Johnny Castaway 18:53, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * No, I would not consider this to be brilliant prose or anything worthy of emulation in terms of a writing sample. Funny though.  Perhaps transwiki this to uncyclopedia instead?  It would be something fun to add to "Unbooks" like "Unnews". --Rob Horning 19:05, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Kellen T 16:52, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Moveto uncyclopedia, it's a laugh, but not Wikibook stuff.--Dick 23:44, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unless all contributors agree to re-license their contributions into Cc-by-nc-sa-2.0 ... how one would go about contact the two anonymous contributors is beyond me. --Iamunknown 01:10, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Move ... Perhaps it (at least the useful parts) should be merged with a book about the theoretical prospects of terra-forming or construction engineering. Additionally, most of the humor should be squeezed out and any content possible should be made into an educational quality text. --Remi 03:36, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete The Making an Island book has been nominated for VfD a number of times, and I believe that the only reason why it is kept is because it is an instructional resource on the topics of terraforming and social engineering which are properly discussed in terms of a large project such as this. Pages such as this one turn the book from being a creative way to discuss and interesting topic into a completely rediculous waste of space. This book already pushes the boundary in terms of our inclusion criteria, and if this page stays, then the whole book likely will need to be reconsidered for deletion. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 15:23, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Move to uncyclopedia, doesn't belong on Wikibooks. --Panic 18:07, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as per others' comments above. Webaware talk 05:55, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
