Modified Bragg diffraction

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

This seems to be a recreation of a page, Modified Bragg diffraction in quasicrystals that was previously removed and redirected to Quasicrystal. The only references are to a self-published book and a single article both by the article's creator, so the article has problems with WP:COS and WP:N. And it's not even clear the article is about "Modified Bragg diffraction". Basically an unnecessary recreation of a WP:POVFORK JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 18:19, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. There does seem to be a problem with this article and Compromise spacing effect pushing POV and OR. Xxanthippe (talk) 11:42, 11 January 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Similar for Quasicrystal (to which this was a redirect). --Crusio (talk) 12:00, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Material of article is unencyclopedic and appears to be mainly OR and OS and not yet to have attained mainstream acceptance. I make no comment on whether the material in the article is scientifically valid. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:27, 12 January 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Weak delete - The material is sourced but shows no proof of scientific consensus, and COI is a concern. I wonder if some of the academic material can be however merged in some articles, where it could have a place as one of the viewpoints on the matter. --Cyclopia ^talk 18:11, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete - the material might be real, but is presented as an abstract theory without connection to the real world. Adding the COI concern and self-citation, the article looks like promotion of a single-hand developed theory. Refereed publications do not mean much in this case: unfortunately, it is way too easy to publish a journal article or even a book nowadays, if it is a minor publisher, such as the case here.

Comment It's not even a minor publisher but a vanity publisher. you pay them, they publish your book, whatever the contents... --Crusio (talk) 09:54, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is this true also for ref.3? (the Solid State Communications ?)--Cyclopia ^talk 13:50, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I reacted to the previous ocmment on the book. SSC is a journal with a reasonable impact factor (1.557; 26th out of 62 journals in its category). --Crusio (talk) 14:41, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
