Certainly the English Wikibooks even contains things that are arguably educational texts that come from a specific religious point of view—for example, <a href="https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Passover_Haggadah" class="extiw" title="b:Passover Haggadah">b:Passover Haggadah</a> is an <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passover_haggadah" class="extiw" title="en:Passover haggadah">Haggadah</a>.

While StevenJ81 is right that filters prevent most vandalism, you still have to keep an eye or two at things, and we have lots of other stuff to do. Nothing prevents IMHO importing further content from the Incubator to the Wikibooks project should in the future be any content. At this moment, I'm afraid, the project does not have content and it is therefore <i>closeable</i> per policy. If in the interim there are further contributions I'd say to keep it open, but if the situation is not going to change, I'd say close it, resume work on the Incubator and then export/import.

There are some disorders in choosing which content is suitable for the project, how long each page should be, who can and who should edit the content on professional books, etc. In some cases you see a book with a good contents outline but full of red links without any content. These makes Wikibooks a complicated project which is not good for languages which lack a massive online population. That's why I have requested for deletion of several Wikibooks projects by now. --<a href="/wiki/User:Doostdar" title="User:Doostdar">Doostdar</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Doostdar" title="User talk:Doostdar">talk</a>) <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_Malagasy_Wikibooks#c-Doostdar-2018-02-22T22:19:00.000Z-MarcoAurelio-2018-02-22T19:03:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">22:19, 22 February 2018 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Doostdar-2018-02-22T22:19:00.000Z-MarcoAurelio-2018-02-22T19:03:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2018-02-22T22:19:00.000Z","author":"Doostdar","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Doostdar-2018-02-22T22:19:00.000Z-MarcoAurelio-2018-02-22T19:03:00.000Z","replies":[]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Doostdar-2018-02-22T22:19:00.000Z-MarcoAurelio-2018-02-22T19:03:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><b><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Liuxinyu970226-2018-02-23T15:07:00.000Z-Doostdar-2018-02-20T13:32:00.000Z"></span>Support</b> While in general inactive should not be the only reason to close a project, it gives me a little trouble on Wikidata maintaining too, as by typing "ma" the interface gives me Malagasy first and blue shown (i.e. by clicking Enter button, I will enter a link entry for Malagasy wiki), but I should be expected to type Malay instead. --<a href="/wiki/User:Liuxinyu970226" title="User:Liuxinyu970226">Liuxinyu970226</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Liuxinyu970226" title="User talk:Liuxinyu970226">talk</a>) <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_Malagasy_Wikibooks#c-Liuxinyu970226-2018-02-23T15:07:00.000Z-Doostdar-2018-02-20T13:32:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">15:07, 23 February 2018 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Liuxinyu970226-2018-02-23T15:07:00.000Z-Doostdar-2018-02-20T13:32:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2018-02-23T15:07:00.000Z","author":"Liuxinyu970226","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Liuxinyu970226-2018-02-23T15:07:00.000Z-Doostdar-2018-02-20T13:32:00.000Z","replies":["c-Jagwar-2018-02-23T19:01:00.000Z-Liuxinyu970226-2018-02-23T15:07:00.000Z"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Liuxinyu970226-2018-02-23T15:07:00.000Z-Doostdar-2018-02-20T13:32:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Jagwar-2018-02-23T19:01:00.000Z-Liuxinyu970226-2018-02-23T15:07:00.000Z"></span>How would you expect language names to be sorted?
