Came across this one while wandering. Given past VfDs this looks like it might be a candidate as it is a constructed language. Equally it is pretty stubby and has been so for quite sometime. I am unsure but felt it could be listed --Herby talk thyme 11:05, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. Haven't the deleted ones been mostly unnoteworthy? This one has a Wikipedia article and seems to have a non-negligeable Internet presence. --Swift 12:33, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. I've heard of "Toki Pona" before, and even though I'm not as reliable a source as google, I tend to think that if it's come across my desk, that it must be at least minimally notable. If we ignore the idea of notability for a moment, are there any other reasons for deletion? I dont hink I can find any myself, but I haven't devoted alot of time to looking. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 02:55, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
- Comment IMO, this is all dependant on its stubbiness. This seems pretty dead, although there was one anonymous contributor to the whole book, there hasn't been any other active contributors for about a year. --Dragontamer 05:37, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

- That was my issue as much as anything - one chapter completed a year ago and nothing more really? --Herby talk thyme 08:16, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
- Delete the stub. If any new contributor came along to write this book they would have to spend less than 10 minutes replicating the material here. Kellen T 10:14, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
- Very Strong Keep --- at least as long as we don't have a stub deletion policy. The main problem in the past with constructed languages in the past here on Wikibooks was somebody trying to "invent" one here, using Wikibooks to advertise that new language. It was deleted for reasons of original research, which this languages does not suffer from the same problems. While this book certainly hasn't seen much progress, that is not justification to delete this book, and stubs are permitted on Wikibooks. This is a pretty good outline as well, on the whole, and certainly the starting point for somebody else who might want to work on this book. Deleting this book will waste far more disk space on the server farm than keeping this book here in its current state. --Rob Horning 15:00, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
- Keep Not made up by the author so it is Wikibooks material unlike some recent languages we've seen. Xania
