The result of the discussion was  Delete in their current form, but the discussion shows openness to books of featured articles that are of manageable size and organized in some fashion other than just an alphabetical listing. --RL0919 (talk) 16:07, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

This was created a while ago and have not since been updated to remove delisted articles, nor add newly listed articles. They also are utterly random, their only organization is by alphabetical placement. Finally, they are unusable as printable books, as they are between 75 and 100 articles, meaning that they are likely over 800 pages in a printed book form, and thus would be split in half automatically if sent to print. Long and short of it is that this is easily replaceable by just reading Featured articles and selecting the articles you're interested in.  S ven M anguard  Wha?  05:40, 25 February 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm not opposed to such a listing in theory, however the current books are completely outdated and unmaintained. I support deleting the current versions, and if an automated way to keep these books up to dateis found (or someone is willing to maintain them), they could be recreated without prejudice.

 * Agreed, provided that the books are kept at a limit of between 25 and 50 articles a book (pick a number and lock it in, rather than allowing it to just creep up over time,) to ensure that the books will be usable. No point in having a book that is too large to download or print.  S ven M anguard   Wha?  06:31, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * So would the pages be listed chronologically then? Wouldn't we rather have it organised by topic? — HELL KNOWZ  ▎TALK 16:53, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Either's a possibility. Topical would probably make more sense than chronological. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 22:49, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
