Speedy deletion nomination of Opera Musicologica

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Opera Musicologica requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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.

Status and Advice

edit

As reviewing administrator, I rewrote the article to eliminate the copyvio. But you need to show the journal is notable. Based on what is generally accepted here, an article about a journal should also contain:

  1. Fulll titles, earlier titles used, and the corresponding dates. Make cross references from any variant titles.
  2. Standard abbreviations used--make redirects from them.
  3. publishing & sponsoring body, as well as earlier publishers & sponsors
  4. availability on line
  5. no. of articles published a year
  6. ISSNs for both print and online versions
  7. Online availability of current and earlier issues
  8. Open access availability, if relevant.
  9. Circulation (sourced somewhere--default place to get it is Ulrichs)
  10. coverage in major standard indexes in the field
  11. 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.
  12. External links to the journal's main web site, and , if relevant, the main website of the sponsoring body.

It should not contain

  1. A list of those on the editorial board
  2. names of the staff, except editors in chief; subordinate or section editors should not usually be listed.
  3. Information about subscription prices
  4. Information about how to submit articles
  5. Links to the publisher's general website, or to subpages within the journal's site.
  6. 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. I advise you to do this very quickly, before the article gets nominated for deletion by a regular deletion process--I have some doubts it will be found notable there.

Proposed deletion of Opera Musicologica

edit
 

The article Opera Musicologica has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unsourced for more than a year. Does not meet WP:GNG.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
