Journal of Surgical Technique and Case Report

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

New journal with no history; most unlikely to be notable yet & in no major selective indexes. (it had been prodded, but prod removed with a request to send it to afd). I have just deleted expired prods for about a dozen similar titles from this publisher, all too new to establish a publication history.  DGG ( talk ) 17:57, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete While it's not impossible to be notable when being new, it does tend to be difficult. This doesn't pass muster. AliveFreeHappy (talk) 23:08, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

 * I think a merge into Usmanu Danfodiyo University would be good. John Vandenberg (chat) 07:45, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. My original prod reason still stands: "New journal, not indexed in any selective major databases. Article creation premature, does not meet WP:Notability (academic journals) or WP:GNG." --Crusio (talk) 23:37, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge to Usmanu Danfodiyo University, the journal's publisher.-- Pink Bull  02:30, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment What is there to merge? There is no info sourced to anything else than the journal's homepage, so all we know is that it exists. In addition, the university covers lots of scientific fields, so a minor journal in one particular specialty being edited there (even if it were notable in itself) is rather trivial as far as the university is concerned. --Crusio (talk) 08:12, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
