Article de-PRODded by article creator without stated reason. PROD reason still stands: "Non-notable journal, does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG". Hence: Delete. Guillaume2303 (talk) 09:49, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This journal is listed in MathSciNet, but without individual reviews of its papers (a strong indication that the MathSciNet editors believe it to fail WP:NJournals #1 — note that mere inclusion in the database means only that it's a mathematics journal, not that it's notable as such) and there are no citations to its papers from other papers in the database (a strong indication that it fails #2). Similarly Google scholar lists only 30 of its papers, most with no citations and with at most 6 citations for any of them. —David Eppstein (talk) 02:01, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Looking at the "official web site," this appears to be some kind of joke. Citations to its papers on GS seem to be mostly self-citations. Certainly WP:NJournals is not remotely satisfied. -- 202.124.74.240 (talk) 11:19, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per the above, but also if it's not a joke the official web site suggests it's well outside the norms of what would pass for a peer reviewed journal.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 15:27, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Looking more into the issue, it seems to not be a joke (though it's based in Andhra Pradesh, not Antarctica). But it's well below the standards for inclusion in Wikipedia, so delete. CRGreathouse (t | c) 20:36, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely not a joke, but also not notable for anything other than the silly title. --Joel B. Lewis (talk) 23:36, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. It rates a mention on the "math fail" blog, but I don't think that helps WP:N at all. -- 202.124.74.200 (talk) 09:51, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete If you go to their buy an article page, you'll see that they claim an association with other journals, such as the Archimedes and Diophantus Journals of Mathematics. While I respect CRGreathouse's looking, I'm going to have a hard time believing that this isn't a joke. Nyttend (talk) 11:25, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Really, it's not a joke. It's one of a number of recent India-based publishers looking to make a profit somewhere in the range between low-quality journal and vanity press; they send marketing e-mails to (as far as I can tell) everyone with an @math.mit.edu e-mail address from time to time. They just have a more creative naming scheme than e.g. Pushpa press. --Joel B. Lewis (talk) 17:47, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Hoax website with no articles, fishing for contact details from the unwary. No such ISSN number found on OCLC search. See also identical article Archimedes Journal of Mathematics: that's the Archimedes "journal" that they're associated with. Scopecreep (talk) 08:33, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
