Welcome!

Hello, Bernd.fiedler, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like European Business Law Review, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of European Business Law Review

A tag has been placed on European Business Law Review, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

If you can add more information, and particularly some third party sources that refer to it (eg reviews from other legal sources), you'll probably be able to save the article.--Elen of the Roads (talk) 15:54, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

=Status and Advice

As reviewing admin, I think this not primarily promotional, so speedy deletion declined. However, it needs to do considerably more to show notability. Based on what is generally accepted here, an article about a journal should contain:

Fulll titles, earlier titles used, and the corresponding dates. Make cross references from any variant titles.
Standard abbreviations used--make redirects from them.
publishing & sponsoring body, as well as earlier publishers & sponsors
availability on line
no. of articles published a year
ISSNs for both print and online versions
Online availability of current and earlier issues
Open access availability, if relevant.
Circulation (sourced somewhere--default place to get it is Ulrichs)
coverage in major standard indexes, inclding particularly Scopus and Web of Science (Science Citation Index) as relevant
any actual references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases.
a list of the 3 or 4 most influential articles similarly, getting citation figures from Web of Science.
External links to the journal's main web site, and , if relevant, the main website of the sponsoring body.

It should not contain

General information listing all the fields covered, unless it is not obvious from the title
Statements of praise for the journal -- see WP:PEACOCK
A list of those on the editorial board, or names of the staff, except editors in chief; subordinate or section editors should not be listed.
Information about subscription prices
Information about how to submit articles
Links to the publisher's general website, or to subpages within the journal's site.
and, most important, it must contain no text from the web page description of the journal. That is a copyright violation, and needs to be rewritten. Even if you are prepared to donate copyright according to WP:DCM, it is likely to be unsuitably promotional.

Please read our FAQ about organisations, and articles like this, and for more specific information our Wikipedia:WikiProject Academic Journals/Writing guide. As it specifies there, the best way to start is by using the infobox journal template; but also convert the information there to prose. DGG ( talk ) 16:13, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
