The International Journal of Intelligent Technologies and Applied Statistics[edit]

This was speedy deleted. The creating editor clearly has a conflict of interest, but this is a peer reviewed journal and we have lots of articles on such journals. I think this should be decided by consensus here. At this stsge I have no other opinion on it. Bduke (talk) 05:35, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

~~Neutral~~ Zero google scholar hits but appears to be a genuine journal associated with a university. Plain ghits is 4, three of which are from Wikipedia! Leaving a grand total of 1 hit - but that hit is apparently for an academic conference at Thai University (On Koh Samui hmmmm). ~~Perhaps~~ delete but without prejudice for recreation once the journal has managed to achieve some presence. Is there a specific policy on notability for academic journals? Nick Connolly (talk) 05:49, 13 April 2008 (UTC) - Changing my erm, not-a-vote-thing to Delete, looks like this journal hasn't published issue 1 yet. Safe to say that currently it isn't notable. nce people start citing papers from it in other journals then it should be welcomed back to Wikipedia.

Delete. It has only published a single issue, a few months ago. I don't think that is enough (without some sort of big media splash) to establish an academic journal as notable. Give it time to build some weight. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:48, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I can't find it in worldcat.org, and the article doesnt state an ISSN. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 01:06, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep No reason to get rid of it; in the meantime it's good for it have an article so it can easily be updated if a breakthrough paper is published there, or something of the opposite happens. OptimistBen (talk) 06:58, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep em Nick Connolly I've examine the editorial board of this journal and the Committee of the conference at the Thai University they seems to be some how related. Besides OptimistBen has some sense, also I’ve made some search with yahoo no1 according to alexia.com and found some hits.BlueQ99 (talk) 07:25, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I for sure search for articles in GoogleScholar rather than journals but that is just me, on the other the editor might have not finished his article. DKNY89 (talk) 12:36, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Worries about conflicts of interest on Wikipedia are overblown. Some people seem to think one should NEVER edit an article about oneself or about an organization that one heads. I think the policies should say only that one should be especially careful in such cases to avoid the problems that can result. As long as the article sticks to what a disinterested party could write, I'd say those problems are successfully avoided. Michael Hardy (talk) 20:41, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
