because to the best of my knowledge there currently is no specific policy
that says specifically what a "textbook" is.
This policy is currently "proposed", but is a long way away from being
enforced:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wikibooks:Textbooks
This policy is a broad cover-all, but again never states specifcally what a
"textbook" is, nor how to distinguish between "instructional resources" that
do belong here, and "instructional resources" that don't belong here ([[How
To Build A Pykrete Bong]] was instructional, and NPOV, but we deleted it
anyway as mostly a matter of conscience):
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/WB:WIW
Fact is that the wikibooks policy cannon is very incomplete.
