... because it appears to be based on a misconception.

Your edit reason was "Removed all books based on movies, since the description explicitly excludes them." The thing is, I don't see anything in the description saying that. I do see a mention of movies based on books, but that's a complete inversion of books based on movies.

If you think I'm wrong here, please ask another moderator to make a decision on the matter, and if you get a decision that goes your way, go ahead and re-submit the edit.

Actually I think I mistyped. I meant movies based on books.

This is the key line that was used for that logic:

"A movie is not a remake if it is based on the same source as an earlier film, such as the 1967 and 1998 versions of Doctor Doolittle, which were both based on the book series."

In this case @WDStudios extrapolated the logic of this to the conclusion that books based on movies fell under a similar premise as not being a true remake, which does admittedly hold, but you are correct in that this was not present and thus is merely inferred, not yet stated. I would suggest we hash out the language of the trope further before edits are made so all things edited are based on explicitly stated information as to the scope of the trope itself.
