Proposed deletion of JSBD


The article JSBD has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * No indication of how this might meet notability guidelines. Lacks citations to significant coverage in reliable sources.

While all 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. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. RadioFan (talk) 11:37, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of JSBD
A tag has been placed on JSBD requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Notability
I have declined the speedy deletion nomination on your article, because it would not apply to a print journal and I am not clear from the website whether the JSBD is to be print or on-line only.

However I am nominating the article for deletion, because there is no indication that it meets Wikipedia's notability requirement, and indeed as the journal has not yet published I do not see how it can - yet. The point is that as an encyclopedia, Wikipedia reports only on things that are already established, the test being not "do we think this is important or signficant", but "has someone else, independent of the subject, thought it interesting and important enough to write about?"

The guideline is at WP:Notability, and the key words are "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." There are more detailed guidelines, and a proposed one covering this case is at WP:Notability (academic journals), which will give you an idea of how soon an article on this new journal might be acceptable. The links in the Welcome paragraph above, particularly WP:Your first article, will tell you more about contributing. The formal notice of the dletion discussion, to which your comments are welcome, is below.

AfD Nomination: JSBD
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but all Wikipedia articles must meet our criteria for inclusion (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Since it does not seem that JSBD meets these criteria, an editor has started a discussion about whether this article should be kept or deleted.

Your opinion on whether this article meets the inclusion criteria is welcome. Please contribute to the discussion by adding your comments at Articles for deletion/JSBD. Don't forget to add four tildes ( ~ ) at the end of each of your comments to sign them.

Discussions such as these usually last seven days. In the meantime, you are free to edit the content of the article. Please do not remove the "articles for deletion" template (the box at the top). When the discussion has concluded, a neutral third party will consider all comments and decide whether or not to delete the article. JohnCD (talk) 16:46, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
