The book User:David.c.welch/Books/ISIS / ISIL / IS has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This and your other ISIL books seem like test pages Bosstopher (talk) 15:28, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, books may be deleted for several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated book prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the book's talk page.

Please consider improving the book to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated book prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes still exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and the miscellany for deletion process allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

I removed the PROD on your book for. It looks like a useful collection of information on ISIL and can be expanded on over time. I have no opinion on the articles it contains or their quality. I have no opinion on the other pages the nominator refers to. If these are test pages then please select one to improve and delete any that duplicate work/information.

If you could explain what's going on with all these test copies of the same book it would be very helpful. Thank you Bosstopher (talk) 15:06, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hey David. The reason I nominated all your ISIS books for deletion is that you seem to have 6 pages all of which are pretty much the same book. I dont understand why you have created so many pages containing the same thing. Could you please explain? If you are just drafting, cant you just use one page and modify that one page as you go along? Why do you need 6 slightly different version of the same book? Would you be willing to keep one draft page for you ISIS and delete all the other almost identical copies?

If not you can remove the Proposed deletion tags I put on your book, to contest the deletion. If you dont want the book Legacypac nominated for deletion to be deleted, please post a comment at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Book:ISIS / ISIL / IS.

If you want more help on your book in general, I am the wrong person to ask, sorry. I would suggest reading Help:Books if you havent already, and possibly asking people from Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikipedia-Books. Thank you Bosstopher (talk) 23:31, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
