[edit] Rcap

A how-to guide that has already been transferred to Wikibooks at b:Transwiki:RCAP. It was then deleted via WP:PROD, then recreated by the original author, who disputes that it should be at Wikibooks. As far as I'm aware, although it was transwikied it wasn't through AfD, so as a contested PROD this should have a full discussion. Personally, I agree that this is a how-to and violates WP:NOT on "instruction manuals". Delete (endorsing the transwiki). Sam Blanning^(talk) 08:28, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

I am the original poster of this article that existed here since early april. The article describes the product and tells what it does and what you can do with it - just like many other articles in Wikipedia. It's definately not a how-to and should stay here or at least you should provide a link from the RCAP page to Wikibooks! thank you! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jandirks (talk • contribs).

Additionally, the page is not yet complete. I still have a lot of text that will be added to the page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jandirks (talk • contribs).

See this document about a product catagorized under Unmanned Aerial Vehicles: Blade CP. Personally, I think that this Wiki is more like an advertisement, with even street price and link to the main reseller of this product is mentioned. I have seen many more of this kind of Wiki's. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jandirks (talk • contribs).

Delete as an instruction manual (which Wikipedia is not) which has already been transwikied to Wikibooks (where instruction manuals should be). --james_{(lets talk)} 09:31, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

It is not an instruction manual when the article is finished. I realize it looks very much like an instruction manual, but is not meant to be written like one. I have text ready to add to the article about how this thing works. Obviously, it describes how to install all hardware to it, but it also describes what it is and it will describe how it works and explain the device. User:jandirks

• Delete per WP:NOT and it's already in Wikiboooks. Yanksox 12:00, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom as it has been transwikied. Angus McLellan (Talk) 19:54, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as the guy who transwikied this. No need for a link, as Wikipedia should only link when Wikipedia has an encyclopedic article on the subject already. TheProject 23:30, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
