World Journal of Innovations in Medicine[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The journal in question has never been published, and has zero Google news hits, book hits, or scholar hits. In fact, there are virtually no Google web hits in general after you take out the Wikipedia hits (and its mirrors) and the web site itself. Original editor removed the {{prod}} and {{prod-2}} tags, along with the other improvement tags. Dori ❦ (Talk ❖ Contribs ❖ Review) ❦ 06:53, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Further comments: I originally nom'd it for CSD as {{db-corp}}, but was told that didn't apply as the article wasn't about a company. I then nom'd it for CSD as a {{db-a7}} (covering individuals, animals, organizations, corporations, or web content); that was declined as 'not sure it counts as web content'. At the same time, DGG added a {{prod}} which the creating editor—the WP:SPA Drsms123—then removed.

And do I need to mention that it's completely unsourced? Dori ❦ (Talk ❖ Contribs ❖ Review) ❦ 07:03, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

DGG was correct in declining the speedy. A7 does not apply to journals, magazines, newspapers, books, and other print. Cunard (talk) 22:14, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reply: Given how little the author wrote, I don't think it's clear as to whether it's a print journal or just a Web site. I believe that it's the latter based on how Web sites are all that's mentioned. And wouldn't a print journal also be covered by "corporation or organization"?

Delete as nominated. Crafty (talk) 09:58, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per the lack of reliable sources. Furthermore, this fails WP:CRYSTAL because according to the article, the "[f]irst issue of this quarterly journal is proposed to be published in November 2009." No prejudice to recreation if/when the journal receives third-party coverage when WP:CRYSTAL not longer applies. Cunard (talk) 22:14, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom + the author(s) are not even sure about web-site of the journal, not to say the other journal details. Materialscientist (talk) 01:18, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. New journal with no evidence of passing Wikipedia:Notability (Academic Journals). —David Eppstein (talk) 04:20, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yet another journal jumping on the open access bandwagon. Delete per WP:CRYSTAL as it currently fails all criteria of Wikipedia:Notability (Academic Journals). --Crusio (talk) 06:33, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or maybe redirect if the publisher is notable. A number of the editorial team are from "Academica" in India, but I am not seeing much notability there. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 07:50, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
