Wikijunior:Future
This is not a bad book. This is a really good one, extremely appealing to children, and is based firmly on known facts. However, this book doesn't belong to Wikbooks because of inevitable OR and possible NPOV issues. My suggestion is a Wikiversity transwiki. Kayau 13:29, 25 January 2011 (UTC)


 * So, what distinguishes this book from those in Subject:Futures studies, specifically? – Adrignola discuss 14:25, 25 January 2011 (UTC)


 * WJ:Future might be more palatable if it had more to say about the grounds for its projections; it would be a very good thing to introduce kids to the rational modes of thought involved. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 14:39, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote.svg Transwiki: I agree with the Wikiversity transwiki because of the mentioned OR and NPOV issues. Holomanga (discuss • contribs) 16:26, 25 January 2011 (UTC)


 * I think it is too soon for RfD this work, the problem here is more the content that can be reasonably covered, some may be difficult to present to the target age group. But the project was initiated in January 2011, it should be given more time to mature. --Panic (discuss • contribs) 07:33, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
 * The general direction of the book, I believe, does not allow it to be within the scope of Wikibooks. In any case, the author, who should know best about the direction the book will follow, has agreed to the transwiki, which I believe shows that the book is suitable for WV.

 * I'm not objecting to the move I was mostly objecting to the nomination itself and the practice in general. Nominating books so soon after creation has an high chance to alienate contributors, Holomanga started to contribute to the project as a registered user 7 January and the last edit was in the same day as the project was nominated, could be coincidence but often isn't.
 * At this point in time my post was only intended as an attempt to empower anyone willing to fight for the concept and is closely related to my position on the other works in the Subject:Futures studies, moving it to Wikiversity will ultimately lead to changing the content to a different type of reader, in that respect the present content will probably not be very useful. --Panic (discuss • contribs) 19:21, 9 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Symbol keep vote.svg Keep I think it should be kept, OR and NPOV issues are likely but not inevitable, if we try hard we can keep them out. Also, it's really not a bad book, lot of redlinks but that's likely because it's new (likely for any new book anyway, look at many of the sections of Micronations). --Whoop whoop pull up Bitching Betty 23:14, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
