Proposed deletion of The International Journal of Indian Psychology


The article The International Journal of Indian Psychology has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Article on new journal created by co-editor. Nothing remarkable besides its weird title. Not indexed in any selective databases, no independent sources. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on |the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

Your edits on The International Journal of Indian Psychology
Hi, some of your edits surprise me. Why would you remove the banners on the talk page? They serve to draw interested specialist editors to the article. Why would you remove the categories and the "DEFAULTSORT" template? The categories help navigation and the defsort makes sure that the article is alphabetized correctly in these categories. The mission statement was way too promotional (not unusual for journals, which is why we almost never quote such mission statements). As for the indexing services, some are trivial (WorldCat or Google Scholar), because those services try to include everything. Others are more serious. I assume you are unaware of this, but services like "Universal Impact Factor" and "Index Copernicus" (and all the other ones listed here) provide fake rankings (see Jeffrey Beall's list of of questionable companies producing misleading journal metrics). Every researcher who is even only halfway informed knows that a journal established in 2014 cannot yet have an impact factor. Flaunting rankings provided by Universal Impact Factor or Index Copernicus on your website will only chase away serious researchers (and you really don't want your journal to become known as a predatory journal), leaving only naive and uninformed people who may be willing to submit their work to you. Just some well-meant advice, take it or leave it... --Randykitty (talk) 10:46, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
