Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/New Zealand Economics

New Zealand Economics
This module was written by one (inactive since September 2005) member, and is in essay form: sub pages are marked for cleanup stating "Raw dump of essay material. Will sort when I finish my current essay." This seems like a paper written for a college economics class- I suggest we delete this module. DettoAltrimenti 03:47, 26 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. Unlikely to attract future contributers, possibly original research, possibly POV. Is a personal essay. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 04:31, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete It is an essay. (I have a copy of a Wikibooks database dump that should contain this essay, so in the future I can distribute copies if I so choose.) --Kernigh 16:26, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep- New to wikibooks, however I feel this could be turned into a good module, I could look at it after my exams finish. Maybe userfly it for now. Brian New Zealand 06:51, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, if this is true, I will temporarily change my vote to keep. If you don't get around to it within a reasonable amount of time, I will change my vote back to delete. good luck on your exams. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 12:41, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Sent this user a note, and haven't heard back from him. That may have been our last chance to find a contributor for this book, and I am changing my vote back to delete. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 19:34, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - It's a legitimate area of study, and it could be a fantastic resource if the right contributors could be found. - AmishThrasher 14:47, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - This is a reasonable topic for Wikibooks. I highly doubt this will ever get the Wikibook of the Month award, and it does seem like a little bit of vanity publishing in this situation.  Still, this is at least an interpretation of an interesting topic, and something that can be used in the future as source material for a much better Wikibook.  Let it languish in the backwaters of Wikibooks, and perhaps somebody will discover it in the future and try to make something out of it.  --Rob Horning 13:23, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Kept. No consensus to delete. I will archive this discussion in 1 week. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 16:31, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi, author here of the 'WikiBook', if you could call it that. Seems like I got here just in time! Although I find the Wikimedia Project to be of great value, I never really had the time to learn the formatting techniques, and that's why it's in a raw, unedited form. If you look at the first page it is fully referenced, and I have all the references for the other pages. To comment on the comments here, it probably is unlikely to attract further contributors, but it could still have value; I wish it were original research, but like most undergrad work it's merely an overview of actual academics' work; I just checked and I don't see a note or anything - unless they get removed after a certain amount of time. If anyone is interested in receiving a copy of it in order to finish the referencing and formatting, feel free to contact me. kabl00ey 14:43, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
