Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/Portions of Astronomy

Portions of Astronomy
At Astronomy, I've been working on the cleanup requested by Rob Horning. I deliberately left a run-down of the planets off of the revised table of contents because it's poor pedagogy and articles at Wikipedia will do a better job of this in the short term. The material presently at Wikipedia is much superior anyway. We might want a run-down eventually just for completeness, but I think we should wait until someone has the time to sit down and rework the material from Wikipedia or write something from scratch. I am nominating for deletion:
 * Astronomy/Mercury
 * Astronomy/Venus
 * Astronomy/Mars
 * Astronomy/Jupiter
 * Astronomy/Saturn
 * Astronomy/Neptune
 * Astronomy/Pluto


 * Delete Brian Brondel 23:11, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Mercury has some material that could be useful in the future; Venus, Jupiter, and Pluto are just stubs, and Mars and Saturn are just forked wikipedia content (and older versions, as well). So I say Weak Keep on Mercury (but mark for cleanup) and Delete on the rest. Xerol Oplan 23:53, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - This was the main point I was trying to make earlier with the Astronomy Wikibook VfD. Indeed some of the stuff that was deleted out of the Wikijunior Solar System would IMHO be better than most of the content that is here right now.  I'll reserve judgement of the Mercury module and suggest that this is some original material that could be reworked into a more complete major section.  The rest can certainly go.  --Rob Horning 02:10, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree with Xerol Oplan. Keep Astronomy/Mercury for possible cleanup, but Delete the six other modules. --Kernigh 04:50, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Brian Brondel has been doing excellent work cleaning up Astronomy.  I'll take his word for it that these don't belong there. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by JMRyan (talk • contribs) 19:35, 21 March 2006.

Deleted all but the Mercury module, as seems to be the overwhelming concensus on this issue. This section can be archived in about a week. --Rob Horning 14:21, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
