Issues of Risk Analysis

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable journal established in 2010. Article creation premature. After the article was de-PRODded, its creator added a statement that the journal has been published since 6 years in Russian, but its website does not show this. In any case, the absence of independent sources and apparent lack of indexing in any major selective databases mean that this does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NJournals. Hence: delete.

Comment Does this AfD have a Russian-language counterpart? Roodog2k (talk) 13:23, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean with "Russian-language counterpart"?? --Crusio (talk) 13:48, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

On the Russian-language Wikipedia, is there an article for this journal? I could not find one. The existance of such a page does not mean that this page should/shoud not be deleted, but may shed some more light on notability. But, the LACK of such a page may add strength to your argument. At this time, I see no fault in your reasoning for deletion, but want to gather more information. Roodog2k (talk) 13:55, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I thought this was what you might mean. I found the corresponding article and have created the appropriate interwiki links. As far as I can see, our article when it was created was a more-or-less direct translation of that article (and created on the same day by the same editor). The external links given there are at the bottom of the one link given in our article. I don't think this gives any additional info that is useful here. I don't know anything about the notability/deletion policies on the Russian WP... --Crusio (talk) 14:07, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Thanks. From what I see, this smacks of self-promotion, which was my first thought when investigating this. I can't prove it, but it's very suspect. Roodog2k (talk) 15:47, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete In addition to the points disucced above, I suspect that this may also failWP:PROMOTION, based on the edit histories of this article and the edit histories of its cohort in the Russian-language Wikipedia. Roodog2k (talk) 15:43, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Risk analysis and other related disiplines are not esoteric subjects with few practioners. It's found in computer science, business, engineering, finance, etc. So, an academic journal in this field would have to hold to the full definition of notability.

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