Please review,
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wikibooks:Votes_for_undeletion#The_Manual_of_C…,
on
"The Manual of Crime" - this is so absurd and contrary to the mission of
wikibooks that I can't believe it is still there.
In addition to not having any class for which it could be a textbook, it is
subject to subtle vandalism of the type pointed out by Whiteknight:
I want to draw everybody's attention to some
quotes from the manual of
crime that got it in trouble in the first place:
*
Many rapists use a gun or a knife to threaten their victims with bodily
harm to keep them compliant. You may hear things like "stop, please" but
don't let that discourage you. Tonight is your night. Don't let anything
stand in your way.*
Tonight is your night"? This isnt a textbook, and this isn't going to
teach
anybody, nor is it going to make anybody any more safe
by knowing this
stuff. This book is disgusting, plain and simple. Now, I would not be
against a book entitled "How to Avoid Crime", or "How not to be a victim
of
crime*",* or "how to survive a violent attack", or something like that.
This book however is a blot on the wiki project, and needs to be deleted. So
help me, I will get jimbo in here to delete this one personally if the vote
here doesnt reach a *delete* concensus.

I agree this is a blot on the wikiproject. Those that seem to think Jimbo's
actions are an abuse, please read the comments on the VfUnD - and help get
this project focused through reasoned debate or the board, as a trustee of
our reputation, may be forced to take unilateral action again.
