Deprodding of Digital Humanities Quarterly

I have removed the {{proposed deletion/dated}} tag from Digital Humanities Quarterly, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. Instead, I have started a deletion discussion at I hope the secondary sources added in recent edits have established the journal's notability. , which you may comment on. I have explained my reasons for doing so there. Thanks!ARK (talk) 16:26, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

• Thanks for the notice, I had watchlisted the article, so I had seen this in any case. I don't think this meets either WP:GNG or WP:NJournals. There is a list of references that at first sight is rather impressive, but all these "references" are about other subjects and only mention this journal in passing (or are the journal website itself). There are no substantial independent reliable sources and the journal apparently is not included in any selective major database. Having said this, the text is pretty neutral and I won't proceed with an AfD. Should another editor take it to AfD, though, I will most certainly !vote delete. --Crusio (talk) 17:27, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Request translations please

I am looking at more stuff pertaining to Volume! I am unable to translate PDF documents. I was wondering if you could pleae tell me if any of the following have useable information related to Volume! (There may be more, later):

• Appel à communication pour une Journée d’étude
• LA LETTRE DU CEAN
• Communique...

At the moment I am getting tired, so that will be all for now. Thanks Steve Quinn (talk) 04:20, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

• Hi Steve, sorry for not being very communicative recently, I just bought a house and we're doing some work there and preparing the move. I'll get back to you soon, though. --Crusio (talk) 19:51, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

• The first one ("appel") is a call for papers for a 1 day meeting (by coincidence held in the town where I currently live, Pessac). The scientific organizing committee is national, but short meetings like this are organized all the time and don't really contribute to notability.

The second one ("lettre") apparently is a list of publications and other activities of a center for the study of black Africa at one of the universities here. As far as I can see, the word "volume" does not even occur in the whole document and even if it did, it would just mean that one of these people had published something there.

The third document ("communique") is simply a press release from Volume's publishers and the organizers of the aforementioned meeting (which in the end seems to have been a two-day event). Nothing special here, either.

None of this, IMHO, constitutes even the slightest evidence of notability. --Crusio (talk) 20:22, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

• Thanks very much and congratualations on the house. ---- Steve Quinn (talk) 01:39, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Biofabrication

Crusio, I think I understand why Biofabrication was deleted and am going to put up a version that is in line with Wikipedia's guidelines. I'd appreciate if you could check it out once posted. I also posted information to the page Biomedical Materials and would appreciate if you could check to make sure it doesn't fall into the same trap that Biofabrication did. Thanks! Journals88 (talk) 13:24, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

• That article consisted mostly of text directly copied from its website. Even if such were allowable, it's not a good idea, because publishers are not neutral (which is their good right, of course :-). I've done some tweaking for Biomedical Materials (and moved the page, too). --Crusio (talk) 13:51, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Reverted blanking of Naked Science

Dear Cruisio, please let us discuss. I don't think that your reason for blanking my effort is valid. I explained on the discussion page of Naked Science that according to your logic you should go and blank The_Universe_(TV_series) too! My effort was not to put directory = list of episodes copied somewhere from the web, I used the wikitable format that has been created for TV series. What I did not put is the code for "short summary| that can be seen in the table The_Universe_(TV_series), etc. Let us discuss details at the Naked Science talk page.Danko Georgiev (talk) 13:56, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Adaptive Services Grid

Are you positive this is an organization?--v/r - TP 01:40, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

What's up with all of these projects that you've nominated db-corp? I think these should be PROD or AfD.--v/r - TP 01:42, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

• They all present themselves as a project/consortium, which to me seems to be an "organization" (for the ASG, see under "Project History"). Most of them I PRODded (or if that had been done before, took them to AfD), only the most obvious ones I proposed for CSD. --Crusio (talk) 02:05, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

fwiw, I just declined a few, and I agree with the people above. This particular one seems to have refs. DGG ( talk ) 02:29, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

• OK, I have PRODded them and won't CSD any others, if you think they don't fall under "organization". The "references" in the ASG article (under "External links") are dead links, no way to see what they were about. Part of the article is a copyvio of this, but I'm not sure that is enough for G12, so I'll just leave the PROD. --Crusio (talk) 02:43, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Prosimos Article

Dear Crusio, I am writing you to object for the deletion of Prosimos article. Being as you are deeply involved in research projects you will know for sure that there are hundreds of them everyyear, some very big and important, others not so much. Prosimos project may rank in this latest category, being a small project, but it does not mean that the results it has delivered are quite relevant and important for subsequent work. Since Wikipedia spirit is to aglutinate relevant (and useful) knowledge, we would like to propose the article to remain undeleted. There are lot of cases then a researcher is looking for information about a project and it can not find any information about it, since its webpage is gone time ago and there are no traces of it in any other databases. This has happened to us several times when preparing work to carry out based on previous research projects, and not being able to find any information about them. Also as it can be deduced from Prosimos article this is a preparatory action, so its impact can not be assessed right now, but in years to come after several more actions and outputs. Since we only see benefits for the article to remain in Wikipedia that is the reason that we are objecting. We wish that all research projects had such a complete and (we have tried to through external review too) impartial articles. It would be very helpful for research community. Best Regards, Roberto.RGimenez (talk) 11:13, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

• I'm afraid that what you just wrote above means that the project is not notable and that the article violates WP:NOTCRYSTAL... --Crusio (talk) 11:49, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

• Hi again Crusio, maybe I did not explained myself well-enough, which I will try now.

Respect to notability our vision is that public funded research projects should be welcomed in Wikipedia, due to three main reasons, its public interest, its high quality research nature (proven by the fact to have been granted funds through a competitive procress) and the final one which also addresses the point of WP:NOTCRYSTAL is that researchers welcome having a database of existing/previous research projects.

So yes, maybe PROSIMOS article is not as relevant as GSM one, but it is still very important for research community in Public Protection and Disaster Relief (PPDR) communications. In fact current FP7 Security Research Programme includes a topic (5.2.1) which is directly related to PROSIMOS article, which is the use of LTE networks (public mobile networks) for PPDR communications. I will include this information in the current version of the article.

Regarding the issue of WP:NOTCRYSTAL We have to object that current/previous public research projects are often consulted in order to advance over current state of the art, and so this criteria does not fully fit into PROSIMOS justification to be kept.

Old English Newsletter

Thanks for your help with improving this. Moonraker (talk) 01:19, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

• My pleasure, and thank you for creatng this nice new addition! --Crusio (talk) 02:37, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

AfD worth attention

There is a current AfD, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. To avoid charges of canvassing, I will avoid stating my opinion here, DGG ( talk ) 04:19, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Wireless Access Platforms for Electronic Communications Services Management

I removed the prod tag you placed on Wireless Access Platforms for Electronic Communications Services Management because it was previously kept after an AfD discussion. This is not an endorsement for keeping the article. If you wish to pursue deletion, please open another AfD. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 14:15, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

• Oops, that's a stupid mistake... Sorry about that! --Crusio (talk) 14:31, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

you have no right to blank wikipedia pages (against wikipedia policy) and diminish the work of others
