Deletion and Undeletion

Undeletion edit
Pages and books can be deleted by administrators. These decisions are generally backed by consensus from a discussion on this page under the deletion section. No process is perfect, and as such, pages or books can be nominated for undeletion in this section. The following is the procedure:
- Locate the page entry in the deletion log or the archived discussion. Some deleted pages have been speedily deleted without discussion.
- Review the Wikibooks:Deletion policy and Wikibooks:Media. If you can build a fair case on something which wasn't considered before, you can raise the issue here.
- Please add new nominations at the bottom of the section. Include a link to the archived discussion (or deletion log if there was none) and your rationale for why the page should be undeleted. If the community agrees, the page will be restored.
If you wish to view a deleted module or media file, list it here and explain why. An administrator will provide the deleted module to you in some form - either by quoting it in full, emailing it to you, or temporarily undeleting it. If you feel that an administrator is routinely deleting modules prematurely, or otherwise abusing their tools, please discuss the matter on the user's talk page, or at Administrative Assistance.

- We don't have redirects, as a rule, that are simply to support different spellings. But I don't really care about this one - so if they want it back, they can have it. MarcGarver (discuss • contribs) 09:08, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
A book that was deleted when strategy guides were not allowed. See discussion -User:Slava Ukraini Heroyam Slava 123 17:13, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
- This book was deleted about 16 years ago and only one page had a significant amount of content. It could all be undeleted but would probably be better re-made from scratch.--Xania

- Undeleted it with many first-level subpages. Yet City Of Heroes/Archetypes, City Of Heroes/Powers, City Of Heroes/General Help, City Of Heroes/Enhancements, City Of Heroes/Binds and City Of Heroes/Badges have even more subpages to be undeleted.--Jusjih (discuss • contribs) 22:50, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
- Undeleted many subpages of the above subpages, less obviously useless versions. Yet any administrators are hereby advised to check Special:Undelete for more to be undeleted.--Jusjih (discuss • contribs) 21:52, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

- Remaking this content from scratch might be difficult - the game shut down in 2012. There's a small community of users running private servers based on leaked source code (!), but far fewer than when the game was active. Omphalographer (discuss • contribs) 07:55, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

This book was recently deleted under the meaningful content policy guidelines, specifically for "Abandoned material with intent and no development after 7 days". I would like to clarify that while development on this Wikibook (and the related Open Scholarship Press books) had been on pause since February, none of the work had been abandoned. Unfortunately, I had not been on Wikibooks to see whether the content had been flagged for deletion until after the content had already been deleted. The deleted book is an integral piece of a wider multi-book project. As such, I would like to request that the book be undeleted so that development may continue. --LodestarChariot2 (discuss • contribs) 00:15, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
Requesting for undeletion of the page "Jumarkese" edit
Hi, I just want to ask the administrators to restore my deleted page, "Jumarkese". I am begging you, I hope you will forgive me. Actually, I just noticed today that you deleted my page. I don't know your reasons why you did that. But I hope you can grant my request to restore my deleted page "Jumarkese" as soon as possible. Thank you. Jumark27 (discuss • contribs) 16:38, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Jumark27. You can see the reasoning under the corresponding section below. It consisted of original research, which is out of scope at Wikibooks, and this type of decision is precedented. —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 18:54, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Deletion edit
Pages that qualify for speedy deletion do not require discussion. This section is for discussing whether something belongs on Wikibooks or not for all other cases. Please give a reason and be prepared to defend it. Consensus is measured based on the strength of arguments not on numbers. Anyone can participate and everyone is encouraged to do so.
Please add a new request for deletion at the bottom of this section with a link to the page or book in the heading and a justification. Also place the {{rfd}} template at the top of the page you want deleted. If you are nominating an entire book, {{rfd}} goes on the top-level page, but not subpages. Nominations should cite relevant policy wherever possible.
Please format the heading as == [[PAGE]] == in order to let the bot archive it. If there is a subject box, type [[PAGE]] into the subject box.

This seems to be abandoned book, the only content is largly vacuous. I don't believe it is likely to be extended or worked on because it is both a technical topic, and represents to original author's goals for such a book (graduate level vs undergraduate). Thenub314 (talk) 20:46, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
- It does seem abandoned; the single existing page hasn't been updated since 2018 and the main book page hasn't been updated since 2019. Unless someone quickly decides to pick up on it, I can't really see it staying here at Wikibooks :/ —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 13:35, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
- Hello there,
- currently I'm working over at the German page, because I have begun to work with a new, more intuitive terminology. My current plan is to first finish the German version and then possibly to translate it. To finish the German version will take at least until the end of this year. Until then, you shouldn't expect any progress. Afterwards, I may feel inclined to pick up the project, depending on my human rights situation. --Mathmensch (discuss • contribs) 09:26, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

If it is incomplete/lacking substantial content and abandoned, then I could see it qualifying for deletion per Wikibooks:Deletion policy#Meaningful content.

These books are a borderline advertisement for a cryptocurrency project.

Omphalographer (discuss • contribs) 06:39, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
Comment I'm not sure it's blatant enough to be considered advertising? Since it technically is a how-to? But, if it is out of date, that could warrant deletion. —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 14:46, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
- Hence "borderline". Some of the subpages like Radium Core/Use Cases/Proof of Author have more of a promotional air to them.

- I'd say that SSH, the Secure Shell is a book fragment that can safely be removed at this point. The sections 'Using SSH' and 'FAQ' are both empty and the sections 'Introduction' and 'Configuration' are extremely sparse. These topics are already covered in great detail in OpenSSH. The section 'Installation' is redundant because all distros manage that through their package manager. In some cases, like OS X and OpenBSD, it comes pre-installed. As mentioned in OpenSSH there are multiple implementations of SSH. If someone with knowledge of them were to expand on them in the book, the book OpenSSH could then be renamed to a more general 'SSH, the Secure Shell' Larsnooden (discuss • contribs) 17:55, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Multiple issues:
First: This is barely even a book. It's mostly a collection of links and statistics.
Second: The content of the book is about a cryptocurrency topic which was rapidly changing when it was written between 2016 and 2018, and which is now considered obsolete, per https://www.zcashcommunity.com/mining/:
Can I mine Zcash with my CPU or GPU?
No. Zcash used to be minable with GPU, but since special hardware (ASIC) was made mining with CPU and GPU is no longer profitable.
The content of the book has been essentially untouched since 2018; given the obsolescence of the technology as mentioned above, it seems unlikely to ever be improved.

Various pages in Basics of fine-art photography edit
The following pages in Basics of fine-art photography seem out of scope because they consist entirely of personal promotion/advertisement for the author's photography:
- Basics of fine-art photography/Egypt and Egyptians II
- Basics of fine-art photography/Lights of Moscow
- Basics of fine-art photography/Ethiopia through the eyes of traveler
- Basics of fine-art photography/On the roads of India
- Basics of fine-art photography/14 days in Mongolia
- Basics of fine-art photography/Egypt and Egyptians III
- Basics of fine-art photography/Hitchhiking across Sudan
- Basics of fine-art photography/January in Japan
- Basics of fine-art photography/Uganda: tribes and civilization
- Basics of fine-art photography/Tribes of Kenya
- Basics of fine-art photography/Afghanistan, 2008
—Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 04:13, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
- Frankly, the entire book appears to be a vehicle for the author to promote his own photography. The few sentences of instructional content on pages like Basics of fine-art photography/Creating works in macro photography are practically useless; that one amounts to "to take macro photos, set your camera to macro mode and hold it close to the subject, or read another book for more information". Other pages like Basics of fine-art photography/Interior photography in hobo tours or Basics of fine-art photography/Taking pictures of homeless people provide essentially no information on photography technique at all, and seem to mostly be intended as jumping-off points to showcase more of the author's photos.

Not actually a book—just a list of links to other books, which is not in scope. —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 18:50, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
Seems completely out of WB scope; it's just a collection of unrelated personal essays. —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 18:52, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
Seems to be pretty much an encyclopedic article about the Knights Templar, which makes it out of scope; enormous amount of links to enWP and may even just be an import. —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 18:59, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

The following discussion has concluded. Please open a new discussion for any further comments.Based on the language, this page seems to be translated, perhaps by machine? I can't see evidence of "principles of religion" as a term existing in English, and I think it's a direct translation of a different language. I'm concerned due to previous copyright issues in this work involving machine translating other copyrighted sources without attribution. —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 19:01, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Doesn't seem in-scope as a book—just seems like a single page on how to do a specific calculation. —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 23:06, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
