International Academy of Social Sciences

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This seems to be a non-notable organisation which publishes two non-notable journals (one of which is currently being considered for deletion: Articles for deletion/Journal of Alternative Perspectives in the Social Sciences). Bjerrebæk (talk) 03:13, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep : No particular reason for deletion. This is the public structure awarded by US state, with peer-reviewed publications present worldwide (what can be seen in numerous catalogs in both print and electronical form), and taking in account that it has been founded only in 2008 and runned by volunteers the achievement is even greater (almost phenomena). All names included (active or previosly active) and involved (awards recipients) are academics from different corners of the globe with easily verifiable education and work track from different state or national high learning academic institutions. When it comes to one of the founders / editor in chief there is 1410 results just for his work in various instituions worlwide in Google Scholar https://scholar.google.com/scholar?start=110&q=otto+von+feigenblatt&hl=hr&as_sdt=0,5 there are also 2 results for IASS itself 2 results https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=%22International+Academy+of+Social+Sciences%22&hl=hr&as_sdt=0%2C5&as_ylo=2008&as_yhi=2016 ( Fajjtus (talk) 06:45, 14 August 2016 (UTC) ) — Fajjtus (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Notability isn't measured by the number of search results, and most of them aren't about him anyway. His most highly cited publication is cited 14 times. Also, when I google this Otto F. von Feigenblatt guy, who seems to be quite young, it seems that he claims various noble titles which appear to be self-assumed ("Count of Kobryn and Hereditary Baron von Feigenblatt-Miller"), along with a huge list of other titles, which makes me even more suspicious. --Bjerrebæk (talk) 08:12, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - non-notable organisation. Cordless Larry (talk) 08:21, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. No independent RS establishing notability. Article is borderline G11. --Randykitty (talk) 09:31, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I do not have any sort of conflict of interest. I have simply choose this topic as I was interested into it. Furthermore, I must confess that others - some involved in this debate showed actions and attitudes of persons with desire to impose their own private opinion misusing wikipedia policies. I can be wrong, but it certainly looks like that. I do not have much experience in this, but I have never put in the article my feeling, opinion, evaluation or something of purely subjective value. All included are pure facts gathered from publicly available informations supported with factual citations and links. Nothing from my part. That includes my participation in the debate. As for the person of Otto von Feigenblatt user Bjerrebæk should look further before making such unfounded comments as they could mislead those wishing to vote. The person in question holds double doctorate degree (Phd and EdD), he is corresponding academician of the Real Academia of Doctores, which the most distinguished institution: The Spanish Royal Academy of Doctors has established an award to honour doctoral dissertations of outstanding quality. Candidates must have submitted a thesis graded "Sobresaliente Cum Laude" according to the Spanish grading system for PhD theses.

When it comes to his titles of nobility it is obvious that they are recognized as valid by the Montenegro Royal House/House of Petrović-Njegoš, Chronicler of Arms of Castille and Leon (Spanish heraldic authority), HM King Kigeli V of Rwanda etc. About the books of this former Oxford University Press reviewer: https://www.amazon.com/Otto-F.-von-Feigenblatt/e/B002BTJ3PQ. Only thing that I agree with my oponnents in this matter is that he is rather young. But the therefore achievement is even greater. Again, everything should be factual, and I am giving my best effort in that direction. In invite you to rewrite/edit it if you consider it overstating or promotional.( Fajjtus (talk) 09:58, 14 August 2016 (UTC) )
 * Before accusing others of misusing Wikipedia's policies, I suggest that you familiarise yourself with Notability,, because your comments show that you don't understand how notability is judged on Wikipedia. Cordless Larry (talk) 11:08, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
