Gábor | 7 comments There seems to be a good number of "wikisource" books in the catalog:

While I understand that these are published books, it seems that they bring little actual value to our catalog (and in general).

Should these books be deleted?

Thanks

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments No they should not be deleted. There have been numerous discussions and they are published books and fit the criteria for being on GR.

People do actually buy and read them although a lot of people also mistake them for the actual book when rating

Gábor | 7 comments Thank you for the discussion links (I searched for wikisource in the posts and none of these came up).
I still feel that these books deserve some special treatment (as for example I wouldn't even want them to show up in my searches for "real" books ...)
