The article is long enough and new enough. I assume good faith on the references that I can't read. A QPQ is needed. The article doesn't say "leading forum". The article was tagged for notability. SL93 (talk) 08:16, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks, it has been expanded and untagged. QPQ follows shortly. I was paraphrasing "main scholarly forum" as "leading forum" in order not to plagiarise. Philafrenzy (talk) 11:28, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
- @SL93: QPQ done. Philafrenzy (talk) 10:36, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I came by to promote this, but the page has a cleanup tag and someone on the talk page is threatening to take it to AfD for WP:SYNTH. Yoninah (talk) 20:55, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
- They moved to synth when they couldn't get anywhere on notability as synth is an easier way to block an article you don't like as it's an easy accusation to make and harder to rebut, particularly when some of the sources are in Russian. It's not synth in the slightest but it needs someone else to read it and remove the tag if they think it unjustified. The angry tone of the comments tells you everything you need to know.

- @Yoninah: I asked on talk for them to specify exactly what they object to and they declined to say apart from the calling the first reference ridiculous. Curious since it is a RS only used to confirm the first year of publication. In the circumstances I have removed the tag. It should be good to go now. Philafrenzy (talk) 19:04, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
