Delete a) major NJOURNAL fail, b) no need for us to propagate predatory spam. ——Serial^# 15:50, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete All I can find about it is that it accepted a garbage paper in a sting operation, which isn't enough to make it notable. XOR'easter (talk) 21:18, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- The only info I could find is that it's not listed by the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), despite it claiming that it is; and that it isn't indexed by MEDLINE/PubMed. --RexxS (talk) 22:17, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - All the sources are from IJERA itself, (which are primary sources, which are not allowed on Wikipedia). There are almost no secondary sources. Therefore, the subject for the article has a lack of notability. Koridas ^Heyyyyyy 02:39, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The creator was blocked by Boing! said Zebedee for a non-public reason per [1] so there might be a possible serious privacy or legal issue if this article is kept but it could re recreated by any other user as long as the legal and privacy issues are not included. We might need a Oversighter or a WMF legal person to investigate this article and the creator🌸 1.Ayana 🌸 (talk) 18:55, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No, there are no legal or privacy issues involved in keeping/deleting this article (at least, none that I know of). Please discuss/decide on the merits of the article itself. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 19:19, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
