The Simple English help namespace is almost non-existent, and something that there isn't any point in moving. Out of projectspace, the only thing worth moving is [[Wikibooks:Basic English alphabetical wordlist]]. As for books, there is no standard way of setting out subpages, and this would need to be fiddled around with to fit in with ENWB (if there is such standardisation). Many books are stubs. The delete button might be getting worn out after a while, as many pages are simply placeholders. There are nine administrators, one importer and thirteen rollbackers. What is being planned in regards to user-rights? I personally feel that the admins should lose their rights, but I have no idea how English Wikibooks works. Finally, I have added a site-notice and a note on the Main Page of Simple English Wikibooks detailing the merger. You may want to edit it to explain further what is going to happen, as I only had the bugs, the Reading Room discussion, and the Meta closure to go on.
