Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Carlo Ricci
The journal is indeed ''not'' a "major well-established" one: it was founded only 2 years ago and does not seem to be listed in any of the major indexing services, e.g. it's not in http://admin-apps.isiknowledge.com/JCR/JCR?RQ=SELECT_ALL&cursor=4341 the ISI indexed journals. Also, and very unusual, it seems to have a http://www.nipissingu.ca/JUAL/contact_list.asp "closed" list of about a dozen authors who've written almost all the articles, including Ricci himself. The article's claim that this is "an internationally recognized peer-reviewed journal" is clearly false &ndash; fails  #8. There is another claim on  #1, as the article shows lots of publications, many of them in the above journal. (In fact, much of the article is simply this person's CV.) None of these publications seems to be listed in WoS, giving Ricci an h-index of 0, which I found a little odd. Upon further checking, part of the issue seems to be that some of the journals are really only teacher's trade publications, while others do not exist, at least any longer. For example, http://www.nipissingu.ca/jpe/Vol1-No3.cfm Journal of Pre-service Education and http://www.nipissingu.ca/upld/checkmark/ Checkmark cannot be found. All the other Youtube videos and such do not lend further notability in this case 7ndash; fails  #1. Respectfully
