Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/Swedish/Slang

Swedish/Slang
Delete. This was proposed for speedy deletion by the only known current contributor to the book, but others have contributed to this page in the past so an RFD seems more appropriate. Personally I agree that the page is out of keeping with the rest of the book and the other contributors to the page seem not to have made any other contributions to the book. The page could be said to disregard the best interests of the rest of the book, which would be better off without it. Although censorship in general is against our policies, I do not think this obliges the current book contributors to keep material that they don't want.

Delete. The page only adds a random selection of swears and other profanity, which I don't think adds any value to the book. It doesn't give any information on how, when or why to use the words, and I personally don't think it fits the book at all. I think it might even scare people away from the book, or the swedish language in general, if one of the first vocabularies they find in the books is swearing. One option would be to rename the page swearing and profanity, but still, I don't think it fits the book. If one really wants to know how to swear in swedish, one can look it up somewhere else, but it's not something one should focus on if one really wants to speak swedish.

Delete It is always hard to know how to interpret "consensus of the book contributors" when there is one active contributor. But I personally have no particular reason to disagree with the person working on the book at the moment, so if he thinks it should go, I say let it go. Thenub314 (talk) 23:10, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
