A new journal, not yet notable. Miym (talk) 18:46, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Miym, I do not understand clearly the main reason why you want to delete the article on IJCSI. Is it only because it is a new journal? Kav123 (talk), 1 November 2009

Comment If some outside references were given, the chances of the article's survival would be greater. As it stands, the only two references are to the Journal's own site. Outside, independent, reliable sources are required. Add to that some more info such as circulation. It's hard for a new publication to be classed as notable straight away. Especially when we've not heard of it... Peridon (talk) 19:59, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It seems to me that this journal is not (yet) sufficiently notable to merit a Wikipedia article. The relevant guidelines here are WP:GNG and the proposed guideline Wikipedia:Notability (academic journals). We need reliable third-party shources that show that the topic is sufficiently notable; no such sources are given here, and I could not find any sources, either. In general, in the case of a journal that was only established in 2009, it will be very hard to show the notability. Usually, the notability of an academic journal is shown by resorting to journal rankings, citation statistics, impact factors, listings in indexing services, etc., but none of these are available for new journals. Some new journals will become notable, some will die; we don't know yet what will happen with IJCSI. — Miym (talk) 20:14, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As noted by the nom, it will be very difficult (but not impossible) for a new journal to meet Wikipedia:Notability (academic journals) (or GNG). This journal clearly fails, no sources given, not much to be found besides their own website. Article created way too early. If they get listed by ISI (and that's a big IF), we can see again. --Crusio (talk) 20:23, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment A few links where IJCSI is mentioned that might be of interest. I don't know whether these will give you what you are looking for, but please kindly take a look before concluding. Thank you.

Comment I went throug some of the above links, but stopped at some point, as it seems to me that you don't really see what is needed here (you're new, so that's understandable :-). Those links go to some personal webpages of people who state that they are an editor of this journal, some blog that writes on open access, a grad student's page (!!) who has reviewed for this journal, etc. None of this comes even close to establishing notability. Links like this can be found for any journal, no matter how obscure. Please have a look at the notability guidelines for academic journals to see what is needed here. --Crusio (talk) 20:56, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

PS:it might also be helpful to read this to see what Wikipedia considers to be reliable sources. --Crusio (talk) 20:58, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
