 * Delete a) major NJOURNAL fail, b) no need for us to propagate predatory spam. ——  Serial # 15:50, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete All I can find about it is that it accepted a garbage paper in a sting operation, which isn't enough to make it notable. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 21:18, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
 * The only info I could find is that it's not listed by the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), despite it claiming that it is; and that it isn't indexed by MEDLINE/PubMed. --RexxS (talk) 22:17, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - All the sources are from IJERA itself, (which are primary sources, which are not allowed on Wikipedia) . There are almost no secondary sources. Therefore, the subject for the article has a lack of notability. Kori das  Heyyyyyy 02:39, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

 * No, there are no legal or privacy issues involved in keeping/deleting this article (at least, none that I know of). Please discuss/decide on the merits of the article itself. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 19:19, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
