International Journal for Uncertainty Quantification

 * – ( View AfD View log )

publication of questionable notability, article created by blatantly COI account. Wuh Wuz  Dat  18:24, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Notability is neither evident nor asserted. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 22:18, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment COI is not a reason to delete. And you could also replace "blatant" with "honest"... --Crusio (talk) 23:15, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment, "Honest" would have meant spelling his companies name forwards. Spelling it backwards is "blatant". Wuh  Wuz  Dat  07:37, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Come on, give the guy a break, he's a newbie after all. I think that the comments on his talk page show his good faith. After all, what would be simpler than creating a username that had no relation at all to the company/journals and leave all this behind him and happily continue editing with a (now undetectable) COI. Instead, he wants to change his username and retain his current history (so that his connection with this company will remain clear even after he gets a new username). I also maintain that for a newbie, his articles were really rather neutral. The journal articles were not spammy at all but gave a neutral description of the journals, all that needed to be done was format them according to WP:MOS. Even the article on Begell House was rather neutral, the only thing one might consider spammy being the long lists of journals/books in it (and that is something most newbie -and even a lot of more experienced editors- would do). --Crusio (talk) 08:23, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Delete -- I can find no independent sources, it's not in ISI web, and has no recorded impact factor. --Selket Talk 00:01, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
