Speedy deletion nomination of Signs (International Journal of Semiotics)
A tag has been placed on Signs (International Journal of Semiotics) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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.

Status and Advice
As reviewing administrator, I rescued the article, but you've got to do things a little more carefully. Please read WP:COPYRIGHT--all material on the web is assumed to be copyright unless specifically stated otherwise. And then take a look at our WikiProject Academic Journals/Writing guide. It would be usualy for a journal that new to be notable, but not impossible. Are there any articles that have been cited to a substantial extent?  DGG ( talk ) 21:02, 23 January 2010 (UTC)


 * The journal is new (2007) and very important in its field. Its open source policy is quite self-explanatory in regards of Copyright issue. Quality of publications, editorial board, peer review status are presenting the academic level, which need to be noticable by Wiki. imho.--Staban (talk) 09:18, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
