Book:Mystery[edit]

A vague name for a book that could potentially contain lots of mystery articles (cf. Category:Mysteries) and yet contains only two titles. :| TelCo NaSp Ve :| 06:24, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. per nom. Userfy to the creator's userspace per Headbomb. --(revised) --Klein zach 08:49, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Its only a few days old. I searched through Google for other Book: titles on Wikipedia, and found there are quite a lot of them. [1] Various musicians have them, Nintendo's Mario has one, the Bible has one, and many others. The point is that information is collected for publishing. The number of things on the list isn't relevant. More can be added over time if anyone wants to bother with it. Nothing gained by destroying this article.

Keephello,this is a book accidently created by me.I really want to collect articles about something mysterious,interesting,just like UFO,ET,black hole,time traveling,etc.Nippleteeth (talk) 09:35, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Userfy? The scope of the book is IMO too vague for a community book, what content would such a book contain isn't very clear and probably depends on the editor. However there's no real problem with having this as a user book, so userfying it seems like the best option. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 04:28, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Userfy to the creator's userspace per Headbomb. Further, the creator notes this is "accidently created"; such tests can be placed in the userspace. Nippleteeth, are you amenable to userfication? Cunard (talk) 07:09, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Much more content is now there. Also, there is no AFD notice on that page. Dream Focus 11:09, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It was removed by the creator. Cunard (talk) 20:13, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

i'm sorry.i update the book by the book creator.it overwrite AFD.it will not happen again.--Nippleteeth (talk) 07:23, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Note: The article under discussion here has been {{rescue}} flagged by an editor for review by the Article Rescue Squadron. SnottyWong ^confabulate 19:16, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Userfy - Seems like a concept created by a very new user which may not be very thoroughly thought-out. Let the user work on this in their userspace and see if anything comes of it. On another topic, I can't figure out why this needs to be "rescued", or how that could even happen. SnottyWong ^express 19:19, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

if this book is really a trouble,i would like to move it to my userspace.no matter what i will keep updating it.--Nippleteeth (talk) 07:23, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Someone familiar with the book projects can help. I just asked at their wikiproject. [2] Why is this article less valid than the dozens/hundreds of other articles of its type? Are we going to eliminate them as well? Dream Focus 19:34, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This "article" is different than other ones because it's not an article, it's a book. It's just a collection of articles. Sources are not required. Notability need not be established. Therefore it's not clear what the ARS would actually do here other than !vote. SnottyWong ^confess 20:58, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think ARS is to ensure more eyes and therefore options and ideas are considered. I didn't have much of an idea what books are on Wikipedia but with a little checking I agree that the scope may be too broad. Looking at the Category:Mysteries there is a lot of articles and many subdivisions already. Maybe ask for someone who does the books for advice on splitting and developing them seperately and maybe linking them? 71.139.6.185 (talk) 11:03, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Userfy or Rename: Mystery is an inappropriate title for this, I'd go with something along the lines of "UFOs" if it is ever moved back to community books. Sven Manguard Wha? 21:04, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
