| *Hello ]: Sources that were in the article, as well as those above, are mostly non-reliable per Misplaced Pages's standards. See ] for more information about what constitutes reliable sources.

| Hi ] | |||
| </div> | |||
| Thanks for taking the time to reply to me. I do appreciate your feedback regarding non-reliable standards but I think in this instance the article does in fact meet the minimum standard for inclusion as per the below. | |||
| <small>I'm wishing you a Merry Christmas, because that is what I celebrate. Feel free to take a "Happy Holidays" or "Season's Greetings" if you prefer. :)</small> ] (]) 18:23, 23 December 2024 (UTC) | |||

| * {{re|BOZ}} Thanks Boz. Keep on keeping on! <span class="smallcaps" style="font-variant:small-caps;">]<sup>]</sup></span> 12:49, 25 December 2024 (UTC) | |||
| An article must be based upon reliable third-party sources, and meets this requirement if: | |||
| == Merry Christmas! == | |||
| Reliable: A third-party source is reliable if it has standards of peer review and fact-checking. In general, the more people engaged in checking facts, the more reliable the publication. | |||
| Third-party: A third-party source is independent and unaffiliated with the subject, thus excluding first-party sources such as self-published material by the subject, autobiographies, and promotional materials. | |||
| Sources: At least two third-party sources should cover the subject, to avoid idiosyncratic articles based upon a single perspective. | |||
| Based upon: These reliable third-party sources should verify enough facts to write a non-stub article about the subject, including a statement explaining its significance. | |||
| Once an article meets this minimal standard, additional content can be verified using any reliable source. However, any information that violates What Misplaced Pages is not must be removed, regardless of whether or not it is verified in reliable third-party sources. | |||

| Hello, | |||
| I originally created this page. I tried to find it today, but find it was deleted. | |||
| I have now found the archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article. The debate apparently began on 3 December 2014 and was terminated on 17 December 2014.

| ] (]) 21:06, 8 January 2015 (UTC) | |||
| *Hello ]: A problem is that per the deletion discussion at ], the journal was found to not meet Misplaced Pages's notability standards for inclusion in the encyclopedia. Regarding the duration of the deletion discussion, they are actually often closed after seven days, so the duration of time, as per Misplaced Pages's standards, was not particularly short, especially since the discussion was relisted for an additional week. I'm not allowed to reinstate the article in these circumstances. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you. ]<sup>]</sup> 01:23, 9 January 2015 (UTC) | |||
| *Hello ]: thank you for the explanation. I would not say that I have been inconvenienced, but I am concerned that some of the points made in the discussion were inaccurate. I would be sorry if the deletion was actually carried out on spurious grounds, as seems to have been the case. Only a small number of users participated in the deletion discussion, and they do not seem to have taken the trouble to properly research the matter. Is there a procedure for reviewing the decision?] (]) 07:27, 9 January 2015 (UTC) | |||
| ::]: I'm familiar with ] and ], both of whom contributed to the discussion and both of whom are trusted administrators on Misplaced Pages. The closest guideline relative to the subject is ], which is not a Misplaced Pages guideline page, but is used at times in deletion discussions. Do you have any evidence that the topic may meet any of the ] therein, or that which counters arguments presented in the deletion discussion (including the nomination)?

| ]: Thank you. I have consulted ] and am satisfied that it is appropriate according to the Purpose. The Instructions ask me first (before listing a review request) to discuss the matter with the closing administrator and try to resolve it with him or her first. It is unfortunate that I was not alerted to the deletion discussion (presumably the page was not on my watchlist) otherwise I could have made the points then and there. So should I go ahead and list a review request?] (]) 10:36, 9 January 2015 (UTC) | |||
| * ]: go for it. It's unfortunate that you were not notified about the discussion. While this is not required when articles are nominated for deletion, in my opinion it is preferred to notify article creators and contributors about them. ]<sup>]</sup> 10:39, 9 January 2015 (UTC) | |||
| ]: I agree -- it should (and could) be automatic. A) I have reviewed some recent Deletion reviews and see (roughly) how it works. I have some questions, numbered for ease of reference: 1) is the decision at the end made by any administrator or the one who deleted it in the first place? 2) Unfortunately I could not find any journal page that had been deleted. This would have been useful as a guide. Are you aware of any? Is there a tool to locate them? B) regarding the AfD, 5 editors contributed, which I deal with in turn: 1) the nominator made several points i) "without an impact factor" -- from the data cited IF > 50/318. Is there a formal threshold? Besides, these are BIOSYS data only; since the journal gives equal weight to chemistry and physics, which are presumably not of interest to BIOSYS, IF could be 3x that. ii) "only listed indexing services are minor" -- is Chemical Abstracts Services minor? I thought that was the major one. iii) "the link to the journal here is currently dead" -- I have checked it now & it is working fine. Maybe some temporary glitch in a server? It is unfortunate that the link was then marked as "dead" -- would have negatively influenced opinion, of course. 2) Comments by Randykitty are problematical because Randykitty contributed to the creation of the page and these issues, that were originally raised, were resolved then -- otherwise the page would not have remained. Why the change of opinion? 3) Blue Rasberry refers to ] but you have yourself stated that they are "sometimes used". In any case there are no absolute rules. Given the journal's unique profile and history, and the way it occupies a very special niche, especially in FIS, a strong case for an exception could be made. 4) DGG: "Worldcat shows only 6 library holdings". This must be a gross underestimate, because "Only libraries that have created a profile in the WorldCat Registry are listed in the library search results". I doubt that our departmental library, which subscribes to the journal, has bothered to create a profile. 5) Joaquin008: "per nom". I do not understand this. Could you explain, please? Finally, I note from the history that an orphan tag was added on 18 March 2014. It is not so obvious why a journal page should have incoming links (but I will check other journals), but of course they could be created. But is it appropriate for me as page creator to do that? Seems like COI, which is why I never even looked at the page again until a few days ago. I would appreciate your advice on this. Thanks ] (]) 23:37, 9 January 2015 (UTC) | |||
| * Hi ]: Regarding the above: | |||
| :: 1. Deletion review discussions are typically (and should be) closed by an ] administrator | |||
| :: 2. See to view AfD discussions that have occurred regarding journals. Some of these have been closed with a deletion result. | |||
| :: 3. As far as I'm aware, ] is the closest thing to a guideline page for journals | |||
| :: 4. Regarding editor !votes in the discussion, you should ask them about it, as they can explain their rationales better than I can | |||
| :: 5. "Per nom" in deletion discussions is an abbreviation for "per nominator" | |||
| :: 6. Links to articles are functional to interconnect topics in the encyclopedia. See ] for more information. Having some incoming links to an article one created is unlikely to cause concerns about conflict of interest. | |||
| ::– ]<sup><font size="-2">]</font></sup> 00:04, 11 January 2015 (UTC) | |||
| * Hi ]: thank you for these responses, all very helpful, thx especially for custom search. May I (perhaps finally on this topic) ask: | |||
| :: (a) whether you find my responses to AfD points reasonable | |||
| :: (b) does the closing administrator simply tot up the votes, or are the points critically evaluated for validity and weighted accordingly | |||
| :: (c) is there a ″quorum″ (i.e. minimum number of participants) for AfD (and deletion review)? ] (]) 21:40, 11 January 2015 (UTC) | |||
| ::*]: I recommend adhering to the points at the ] section of Notability (academic journals) page in terms of qualifying the ] listed above that section on the page, as there is precedent therein. Some of your points above are functional in terms potentially demonstrating notability. Afd and Deletion review discussions are closed upon the merits of arguments relative to Misplaced Pages guidelines and policies. There is no minimum for participants in said discussions. ]<sup><font size="-2">]</font></sup> 23:26, 11 January 2015 (UTC) | |||

| Hello, I've noticed that you have recently closed the AFD that I nominated at ] as "no consensus". I found it a little amusing because it is impossible to form consensus when nobody even makes a comment in a period of three weeks. | |||
| </div> | |||
| But jokes aside, should I have just used the PROD instead of AFD? And looking forward, is it possible to tag it for PROD now? My understanding is that it is not allowed after an AFD, but in this case it is possible to argue that an AFD didn't happen. Thanks, ] (]) 04:23, 16 January 2015 (UTC) | |||
| :Hi ]: Per the letter of the rule, I'd have to say no to a prod. Per ], it states "PROD is one-shot only: It must not be used for articles PRODed before or previously discussed on AfD". Despite the fact that no discussion occurred, the article was nominated for deletion and listed in the AfD logs, so I can't recommend for you to go against the rules. ]<sup><font size="-2">]</font></sup> 01:06, 18 January 2015 (UTC) | |||
