Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/Musictionary

Musictionary
This is an early Wikibooks experiment that was to build (from what I can tell) a dictionary of musical terms. It was an ambitious idea, but it hasn't had any recent development and the content from what I can tell is inferior to anything on either Wikipedia or Wiktionary. I was going to mark it as a transwiki, but I don't see any real redeeming value to the content that would be of value to Wiktionary. As there are several pages involved and perhaps there is a defender of this content here on Wikibooks, I'm marking this as a VfD candidate instead. --Rob Horning 16:44, 29 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete - Seems like it's going the way of an encyclopedia and not much else. Perhaps if I saw some sections regarding how the already-listed terms would be used as more than just definitions the book might have promise. By what it looks like now, the book would need some big structural changes (or big additions of content). -Matt 04:46, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment I recently noticed orphan module Musictionary:John,_Elton. Should we keep it? --Kernigh 01:21, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
 * It does bring up the point that if you do delete a Wikibook, check the psuedo namespace using Special:Prefixindex to make sure you got everything removed, including talk pages. --Rob Horning 09:52, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Question: Surely, as part of a proposal to delete a book, there should be some effort made to point to an already existing better book on the topic. If I wanted to find out everything about music, I sure would not be using Wiktionary as my source. So, unless you can opoint to a better book in the Wiki family, for this purpose, I can't see how you can sensibly nominate it for deletion. ''Richardb of Wiktionary. 4/4/06''
 * In Wikipedia: Bach, Mozart, Clarinet, Drums, Piano, Violin, Cello, Dynamics (music). In Wiktionary: accelerando, arco, cantabile, crescendo, dolce, forte, fortissimo, maestoso, mezzo piano, piano, pianissimo, pizzicato, staccato. Missing: decrescendo, mezzo forte. If I add those two entries to Wiktionary, we should be able to delete this book, except the front Musictionary page should contain these links. --Kernigh 05:56, 7 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete Concur with the voters above. &mdash; Everlong 06:52, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Deleted. Musictionary now contains links to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, Elton John modules are transwikied to Wikipedia:Transwiki:Musictionary:John, Elton. --Kernigh 01:06, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
