Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or sock puppetry.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

AGTA - Advances in Group Theory and Applications

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of AGTA - Advances in Group Theory and Applications, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.advgrouptheory.com/index.html.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

Speedy deletion nomination of AGTA - Advances in Group Theory and Applications

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on AGTA - Advances in Group Theory and Applications, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the critderia 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 encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

That new and improved version is much better. Well done. Next up, secondary sources that verify information in the text so you can expand the article and prove that the outfit is notable. If all else fails, there's a couple of academics running around that will be happy to help, including DGG and Randykitty. I have no idea what group theory is; it sounds like something sociological that would be bad for my health. On the off-chance that it's math-related, consider asking David Eppstein if you need anything at all. Drmies (talk) 21:33, 5 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Advances in Group Theory and Applications

The article Advances in Group Theory and Applications has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable new journal. Not indexed in any selective databases, no independent sources. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG.

While all constructive 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.

"Advances in Group Theory and Applications" is a new journal, but its editorial board, which is listed in the journal web page is formed by 13 very well-known mathematicians. Their quality can for instance be checked either using the MathSciNet data base of the American Mathematical Society or the Mathematics Genealogy Project. It is reasonable that in the next few years the journal will have a prominent role in the mathematical world.

Hello Francesco--what AGTA needs is coverage. I assume that the (other) journals in the field have published notices on or about the organization, or commented on it one way or another. That's the kind of thing that I cannot find through Google, but you probably know exactly where to look. A notification that the AGTA conference is to be held in this place or that isn't much help--while it proves that the organization exists, that doesn't mean that the organization is notable by our standards (WP:CORP has some relevant guidelines): existence does not equal notability. But an article about the organization being founded, or statutes being voted on, or a new president being elected, that sort of thing will probably help. Again, good luck, Drmies (talk) 15:35, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

AGTA - Advances in Group Theory and Applications

Hello! I wanted to let you know that I deleted both of these articles - the journal and the society - because that was the consensus at the "Articles for discussion" page. However, there was some suggestion that the society might be notable, if outside sources can be found about it. If you wish, you may try to improve that article so that it meets Wikipedia's criteria, as described at WP:ORG. If you want to do this, I can put it into your private user space, so that you can take some time to work on it. Since it would not be in the main encyclopedia, you wouldn't have to worry about it getting deleted again. Let me know if you want to try this option. --MelanieN (talk) 01:32, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dear MelanieN, thank you. I would like to try the option and work again on the article concerning the society, in order to make it suitable for wikipedia. Francesco de Giovanni (talk) 04:13, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.
