Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/Solar System

Solar System
This is inspired by Herby's nom above; as he says, it is merely a skeleton, with little or no content. Also, the subject matter "solar system" is kind of encompassed by the book on Astronomy, but that's just a footnote. --- Anonymous Dissident  Talk 09:26, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
 * as a stub with (seemingly) a good framework for future expansion. – Mike.lifeguard  &#124; talk 21:31, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I tend towards keep, although I hesitate a little. First off, we have an excellent book on this topic at Wikijunior:Solar System, although we don't delete a book for adult readers just because we have one for children on the same topic. Also, we do have good books at Astronomy and Astrodynamics, although neither of these books seems to focus enough on objects just in our solar system. I say keep it, but tag it with cleanup and expansion templates so people know it needs help. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 21:36, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol merge vote.svg|15px]] Merge with Astronomy - Otherwise the rest of the pages, merging as many substantial opening comments as possible into Astronomy as well. I might be able to organize the book into a hand-crafted  solar system section for Astronomy. Thoughts? Laleena (talk) 22:30, 15 January 2008 (UTC) After reading other comments I am for a delete. Volcanoes, another work of Tannersf, was almost entirely deleted due to the fact that it was just a framework, and I think that Mike was right to delete all but the intro page. I still have not finished rescuing the book from its "VFD pit" into a "completed" book (and Mike is helping me too). I attribute the same conditions to this book, although I am willing to, after deletion, change it into a book not unlike Volcanoes. Cheers, Laleena (talk) 01:46, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - While in its current form it seems to be incredibly shallow, and is even a shadow of the very excellent Wikijunior Solar System book, there is a need for a Solar System book on Wikibooks. My only concern about making an adult-level Wikibook about the Solar System (or perhaps renamed to a more adult sounding Planetary Science) is that it would be difficult in the current format to beat the content about the Solar System on Wikipedia.  Please, oh please, oh please don't merge this into the monstrosity of the Astronomy Wikibook.  I nominated that book (Astronomy) for a VfD because it became the dumping ground for a whole bunch of very disconnected and irrelevant content by several mergists that has taken years of work to try and do something of a clean up from even the previous awful state of that book.  Let's not destroy a good book with inferior content.  If there is a rationale for deleting this book, it is because it is a macropedia and as such is against the terms of WB:WIW.  Even then, I've seen stubby books that are this awful get cleaned up by somebody with strong determination and a vision.  --Rob Horning (talk) 11:53, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * - another abandoned shell of an idea. As RH points out, Wikijunior already has better than this. If someone shows an interest in building an "adult" book (sounds risqué) on the solar system or planetary science, I'm sure they'll not be hampered by the loss of this effort.
