Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Srinubabu Gedela


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   delete. No proof that he passes PROF, let alone the GNG. Being an editor of a journal is no reason for notability by our standards if the journal is not notable, and the suspicion of spam (a walled garden of related articles meant to support each other) is noted.

Srinubabu Gedela

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Impressive-looking biography of an Indian scientist. His main claims to notability are his editorship of a scientific journal and as founder of the OMICS Publishing Group. However, the journal (Journal of Proteomics & Bioinformatics) is not a "major well-established academic journal" as required for WP:PROF (it was recently deleted after AfD). The OMICS Publishing Group is mainly notable for its shady practices (see the article on this publisher and the current edit-warring about the content) and almost all information about this outfit is uncertain and unverifiable. Neither does this person meet WP:PROF as an academic: the Web of Science lists 19 publications for "Gedela, S.", which have been cited 63 times (h-index = 5; highest citation count = 26). Does not meet WP:PROF, WP:BIO, or WP:GNG, hence: Delete. Randykitty (talk) 17:33, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Not notable; the OMICS publishing group is not well-established, nor is the specific journal.  -- Scray (talk) 00:43, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Fuchu He , Cathy Wu  This page is deleted, Helmut Meyer  This page is deleted and Kazuyuki Nakamura   From this page removed the executive editor details of OMICS Group journal.
 * BTW, these edits makes it very difficult to judge assume good faith Randykitty nomination. Rich1982 (talk) 07:03, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
