Well, for me personally they aren't books either, but I understood that they shouldn't be deleted. Even if they're layouted poorly (if at all), not to mention all the missing German umlauts...Could we have an additional rubric then like "not really a book"? ;-)
I think that the lack of umlauts (like "Artikeln aus der frei verf[ü]gbaren Wikipedia-Enzyklop[ä]die" is a problem from the Ingram imports. The "author" Source Wikipedia has 36787 works and the various non-English ones could do with a bit of editing of titles and descriptions - some of the French ones are pretty hopeless too from a quick look at the list. Not sure they're quite at the top of my to-do list, though, to be honest!
Honestly, I don't see a point in editing those at all. *look*
Me neither but some people find it racks up their editing numbers so like to do it
*shakes head* They must be crazy. Much more worthwhile books out there to edit.
Can we change the rules to exclude those? Literally no one needs this. Same for the other languages (Quelle Wikipedia etc.)

Regardless, they meet Goodreads policies for inclusion.
Also, please do not bump up threads that are years old.

I know they do have ISBNs, but they seem to be only wild collections of nearly everything on a Wiki about the German role-playing world "Das Schwarze Auge".
