Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/WikiSci

WikiSci
This book is being used to document original research. As stated on the main page, "WikiSci is an attempt for researchers to organize research efforts in a task-oriented manner, facilitating much better idea exchange". I suggest that this book WikiSci/Wiki as A Time Saver for Researchers be transwikied to Wikiversity. – Adrignola talk 15:47, 25 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Transwiki the subpage per Adrignola. Kayau 14:05, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete the rest. I guess the rest of the book does not really fit the scope of WV. Kayau 14:46, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Symbol comment vote.svg Comment I think we could use some clarification on this one and should hold off judgment of intent until than. One way the scope could be interpreted is to mean they intend to teach researchers how to organize their own research in a task-oriented manner in order to facilitate exchanging ideas much better, which wouldn't involve original research at all. Part of the book's intent might be to teach researchers how to use wiki technology in there research efforts as well, which also wouldn't be original research. --dark lama  14:14, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
 * It's hard to say. There's not really any content there beyond the structure.  To top it off, all the pages were IP-created, so it's not possible to try to get in contact with the original author of the book.  This book may not be going anywhere. – Adrignola talk 14:24, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
 * If this book isn't going anywhere, I don't see it going anywhere at Wikiversity either. I doubt collecting every research effort under one single resource would make sense at Wikiversity. Wikiversity welcomes individual research efforts already as separate resources. If this is about teaching how to organize research, I think Wikiversity probably already has this covered and the only part of the book worth salvaging would be "Wiki as A Time Saver for Researchers" which could easily either be the start of a book itself at Wikibooks or be a resource page in its own right at Wikiversity. --dark lama  14:47, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Symbol delete vote.svg Delete This book appears to be an effort to organize readers of various usenet newsgroups. It didn't work, and has had plenty of time for that to have happened (if it were going to happen).  It serves no purpose. --Jomegat (talk) 12:40, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree that the newsgroup subpages serve no purpose now. I think the "Wiki as A Time Saver for Researchers" subpage can be saved and be used to start a new book on using wikis for research though, without discussing original ideas or involving original research. A quick look shows there are about 55 thousand results for using wiki for research at Google Scholar which could be used to cite sources. --dark lama  13:26, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Symbol delete vote.svg Delete Being a presumptuous newcomer, I don't see this as being appropriate for Wikibooks. If contributors can find a better place for all or part of it, by all means move it.--Wisden (talk) 10:21, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Symbol delete vote.svg Delete Original research. Aside from being outside the scope of this project, WikiSci has a very naïve approach to the scientific process. With a flawed premise, the project is doomed to failure. --Swift (talk) 23:14, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
