Talk:List of predatory publishers

This are often challenges when it comes to copyright issues. My understanding is that a noncreative list can be copied without violating copyright but if the list has some element of creativity in the selection of the items, then the list itself can qualify for copyright. That seems to be the case in this instance.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  12:00, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Can this page be reserved as the one which maintains the list of unambiguous predatory publishers? Perhaps we could remove the list completely and start building it from scratch? There are already 6 publishers in this list with Wikipedia articles that describe their predatory nature. Метамерік (talk) 12:19, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement: the copyrighted material has been removed. The page itself could stay, however. --Метамерік (talk) 12:27, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
