Notability

[edit]

DOAJ seems to be a reliable tertiary source; and an entry in a single reliable tertiary source would indicate notability, the way an article on X in a reliable tertiary source, such as Encyclopædia Britannica, would indicate X’s notability. ~ RogDel (talk) 13:20, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, looks like it's no longer in the DOAJ anyway, assuming it did actually ever exist there. Hinduresci (talk) 17:59, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have added these to the Further reading section: 1) Jules Evans interview of Geoffrey Klempner for Evans' project Philosophical Communities for the Arts and Humanities Research Council; 2) Article by Tim Le Bon for The Philosophers' Magazine; 3) Link to Issue 186 of Philosophy Pathways edited by Christopher Norris; 4) Article by Marianne Talbot for The Daily Telegraph. These add modest weight to notability. Philosophy Pathways was on DOAJ but removed for refusal to comply with DOAJ Licensing rules. GershonVelvel (talk) 18:27, 14 October (UTC)
  • According to WP:JOURNALCRIT, "If a journal meets any of the following criteria, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources, it qualifies for a stand-alone article.
    Criterion 1: The journal is considered by reliable sources to be influential in its subject area.
    Criterion 2: The journal is frequently cited by other reliable sources.
    Criterion 3: The journal is historically important in its subject area.
Now, I reckon the 3rd criterion might be out of question, and the 2nd criterion, being void of quantification, might be equivocal, and the 1st criterion seems to stand in need of at least two independent and reliable published sources which deem a journal influential in its subject area, whereas as far as I can see, there is only one as to the topic whose notability has been questioned. — Hinduresci (talk) 18:40, 14 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
