[edit] The American Nation

The American Nation (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

I'm not sure if a school textbook is notable in it's own right, there isn't much to say about the subject, and there is thousands of textbook out there without an article, and I don't see anything special about this textbook from the rest. Written by a banned user doesn't help nither. Non-notable in my opinion, so Delete Jaranda wat's sup 18:03, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete But for a moment I imagined kids flooding to add their textbooks to Wikipedia and actually reading them and obsessing over them like Pokemon species and episodes of Grey's Anatomy ... After coming out of my reverie I couldn't think of any textbook that would be notable unless it was the object of major litigation or contained a significant error and becomes news.

  • Delete Not that textbooks are unimportant, since they can reflect the biases of the authors (liberal or conservative) and of the school boards that buy their works. But this article has nothing to say. I like Acro's daydream... but this would open the doors for anyone to put a textbook on Wikipedia, and anyone who does that needs to get out more often.
