Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/Wikipedia

Wikipedia
And any subpages. While there could be a textbook on Wikipedia, this isn't it. – Mike.lifeguard  &#124; talk 13:39, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

- Textbooks take time to develop and this isn't out of project scope. --dark lama  15:07, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

I don't like this book and it's just going to be re-writing of current articles on the same kind of topics already found on Wikipedia. Though we should at least wait a few days to see if anything develops or to see if it actually is good. Xania talk 23:22, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Oops. Now I see that it's not a new book and has lived on Wikibooks for bloody ages. Delete it. Another confusing template - I thought delete would be the right template to use here (as opposed to keep) but of course that brings up the big 'this page has been nominated for...' message.

How ridiculous. vfd with a small 'v' is completely different to Vfd and Vd (the one you need on this page)... Xania talk 23:26, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Maybe we should get rid of the "Vfd" one (use vfd all the time instead) and the "vd" and make the vd into a "del" or something a little more intuitive? I can never remember vd either. Mattb112885 (talk to me) 23:34, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * - For a bit of a trip, take a look at the deleted history. – Mike.lifeguard  &#124; talk 01:42, 23 September 2007 (UTC)


 * While it might be more appropriately named "History of Wikipedia" instead of simply "Wikipedia", this is a start to a legitimate book about the Wikipedia project. Consider it an analog to the History of Wikibooks book, which also has yet to progress beyond a stub, but really isnt worthy of deletion either. If anything, we should put out an advertisement, and see if any old wikipedians would be willing to fill out this book a little bit. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 03:04, 24 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I had started this stub in the hopes of corralling a few wikipedians to help write it, but not much success fo far :). It just seems symmetrical to have a Wikibooks book about Wikipedia, much as there is a Wikipedia article about Wikibooks. Maybe I'll try again sometime to scare up some recruits. -- SB_Johnny | PA! 09:23, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia
Please correct me if I'm wrong, because I am a newbie in Wikibooks and don't know the policies. However, as a wikipedian, I think Wikipedia should be deleted unless it is expanded or whatnot. Kayau (talk) 14:03, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Apparently this did come up as a VfD in 2007; see the discussion page. SBJohnny then was saying he was going to try and corral a few additional workers to get some more onto it, it looks like that has not happened. Chazz (talk) 16:12, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Symbol opinion vote.svg FYI, the VFD is Votes for deletion/Wikipedia. &mdash; Mike.lifeguard &#124; talk 16:17, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Symbol keep vote.svg Keep Being a stub shouldn't be grounds for deletion. Mark it with .  While we're at it, rename it to something less confusing, like "Guide to Wikipedia".  --Pi zero (talk) 21:09, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
