I know it's likely the nomination will be opposed as being too harsh on new editors or new projects, but I don't think the scope of this book fits in that of Wikibooks because of contains original research. It will probably be accepted in Wikiversity because of its educational nature though, so a wikiversity transwiki will probably be the best solution.

I do not wont to write a Wikiversity Transwiki, but a Wikibook. It is the question, how tolerant wikibooks is.--Nobody60 (discuss • contribs) 22:38, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

More an issue of policy. Wikibooks has determined that it is not a place for the publication of original research. The matter is not whether WB will tolerate religious texts or not -- we do, so long as they are not OR -- but whether we will break long-standing project policy about original research.

Comment Unrelated to the RfD, but would it not be possible to channel the planned content of this wikibook into the Comparative Religion or Philosophy of Religion wikibooks, including sources and making existing books stronger? --Thereen (discuss • contribs) 04:46, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment In theory it should be possible to make this work have a neutral point of view, and avoid original research. A study of the main monotheistic religions, the points of commonality, historic grounds for dispute, etc., would be a valuable work. OF course I don't know if this is the intended thrust of the book, but the contents list suggests it may be. QU ^TalkQu 08:42, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I will try to make it from a neutral point of view. If necessary, you can help me and restructure individual sentences. The original research I will write in the Wikiversity and then refer to it. I will dispense on the angels oracle, if it is desired. Most I wrote in the Wikiversity about God is not my research, but only the traditional yoga and buddhist view, expressed in my words. In spirituality it is hard to explore something new. Someone always has written it in former times.--Nobody60 (discuss • contribs) 11:08, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the purpose of the book is to find a way to allow people of different religions to tolerate each other. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think this is suitable for Wikibooks. Also, it might be better to write a book about toleration between religions (without saying that it's necessary), then do the actual how and why we should tolerate bit in Wikiversity, and refer to the Wikibook.

Okay, I can write a book about toleration between religions, without saying that it is necessary. The purpose of the book is not to find a way to allow people of different religions to tolerate each other. The way exists already. I only want to inform in a neutral way. How and why I wrote already in Wikiversity. If this wikibook is ready, I can refer to it. --Nobody60 (discuss • contribs) 14:28, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
