 * Hu, I think this is a good-faith editor, though with COI. If I am not sure all the journals are important, but they deserve a chance at AfD. If there is any chance that the articles are acceptable, he should not be blocked. DGG (talk) 01:23, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

How to write journal articles
I've been working in large part on improving articles about magazines and journals since I joined WP--I'm now one of the many administrators here--so let me tell you what is actually needed for improving these articles, because improvement is needed, and in more respects than mentioned above. Articles should: Give information about how frequently it is published, the starting date of publication, any previous titles, and the dates of title changes. If it is available online, say so, and give the date of beginning availability. List the editor in chief, if there is one. Say what company or institution he comes from. Put a link for his name and the institution name. WP uses these links in evaluating importance of the people. Even if its a red link, use it, so we know we might need an article. If the company or institution is red, check if you have the proper form. List the major indexes that cover it--just the major ones, and just the relevant ones--for example, Chem Abs indexes every journal that ever has a chemical article, but just the chemical articles, so its only appropriate for chemistry & engineering title. If it's covered by Web of Science or by Scopus, say so. If it should be in Journal Citation reports--a f give the current impact factor in the form: The 2006 impact factor is x.xx, which is 4th of 40 in the engineering subject category. the "of 40" part is to clarify if its 4th of 4, or 4th of 40. Give a footnote reference to Journal Citation Reports (brackets as specified) If you give these for any, you must give them for all journals, even if they are last in the class. But if they are not included, you don't have to say anything. Give the circulation, if you give it for all magazines of the class. The reference for this can be BPA--if you use it include the word "audited" (and please write an article on BPA so people know what it is) but I normally use Ulrich's, even though the figures are approximate. Link to Ulrich's. ALWAYS give the ISSN, both print and online. Use the journal infobox template on at least all academic publications--no reason not to use it for them all. [1] It should not: List the editorial board, or any people other than the editor in chief. Have the typical sentence used in ads and web pages: "This magazine is intended for ... (it's almost always obvious), but if the contents or orientation is much different than expected from the title, it should say so. mention pricing, or through what packages it is available. EXCEPT that if it is available through major full-text service like Lexis or Ebsco, say so, linking them.

Frankly considering the extremely small circulation of J Forensic Accounting, and its absence from major indexes, I am not sure about the notability, and I do not promise to support at AfD. I think the approach  would be to try to show it as possibly the most important in its particular niche of Forensic accounting; if that's the case, the article might well hold.
