I take this to mean that VFD should be for book deletion only. Individual modules within a book should be deleted or included in the book as decided by the editors _of that book_. I think right now we tend to micro-manage our books, with editing decisions made by the entire community, not the contributors with the most knowldge.
I am not sure I agree. Books are not written by just the few who actually type the letters. It should be seen (not in a legal sense) that the entire community writes every book. For example, if a book was being written that the authors wanted certain elements included, but the rest of the community disagreed with, you feel it should be included because the authors have the most knowledge?
I can't see this as ideal. We would be inundated with crap and people claiming "Hey, I wrote this. You can't tell me what I can and can't have! I know more about it than you." Sometimes individual modules/chapters/pages do not fit in the community's goal, and it would be reasonable to take them to VfD, no? --LV
