And other books are on this site, but they're not actually reading material, do diaries and journals belong on the site or should I list them on the deletion forums?

If they are completely blank, like those, they should be NOT A BOOK'd. (I got that one and its friends.)

If they have textual content (a quote on each page, etc.) then they are usually ok to stay.

Okay thank you, I'll be sure if I see blank books to add them to the deletion thread.

They don't need deletion; they need to be NAB'd: https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/1...

Okay I'll do that then, thanks.

What do I do when people have already voted on it like this https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

These items should be transferred to the “author” NOT A BOOK. This can be done by editing the individual book record and replacing the existing primary author with the author NOT A BOOK, or, if all of the items on an author's list are not books, the author can be edited and merged entirely into NOT A BOOK.

Okay thanks again.
