International Journal of Intelligent Technologies and Applied Statistics
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

It's been over a year and a half since the last AfD of this non-notable journal, which ended with no consensus. Created by the now indef-blocked User:AiritiPress, the article is, to put it bluntly, spam. No sources for notability. The spammer inserted this journal into List of academic journals and List of scientific journals, and I am sure that other spammers have done so. ‎ Abductive  (reasoning) 01:28, 23 December 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Delete per nom. Does not meet WP:Notability (academic journals). --Crusio (talk) 10:18, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Science-related deletion discussions.  -- Crusio (talk) 10:19, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete. Does not appear to be indexed/reviewed by any indices such as WebOfScience, JCR, MathSciNet, Scopus, etc. I looked around in Worldcat and could not find any libraries subscribing to this journal there. Doing GoogleScholar searching also did not produce any evidence of citability (let alone high citability) of papers published in this journal. So seems to fail WP:Notability (academic journals) on all counts. Nsk92 (talk) 00:42, 30 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge to the publisher Airiti Press. I am very reluctant to delete an article on a Chinese (or Japanese) journal (or publisher) on the basis of finding no or almost no hits in Western indexes. The Chinese and Japanese have their own indexes for their own publications, and I doubt they index much from the English speaking world. The journal is in Ulrichs, and published by National Chengchi University, a major university. So I'd say it's appropriate to keep the basic information.    DGG ( talk ) 01:20, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
