The article Free Neuropathology 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. Article creation too soon.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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. Randykitty (talk) 10:31, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
- Hi Randykitty, this article is certainly a stub, but one could argue that being an official journal of several European Societies does qualify for Criterion 1: The journal is considered by reliable sources to be influential in its subject area. Would you agree? I will add external references. --Marvin 101 (talk) 12:16, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
- Hi, yes, you could argue that, but it would be incorrect. This would not be the first journal to fizzle, even when supported by much larger societies or big publishers. Whether it'll be "influential" remains to be seen (e.g., by looking at whether articles published in this journal will get cited). A journal this young has not yet had the time to become influential. I agree it looks promising and it might get picked up by MEDLINE soon (it will easily get included in PubMed Central and hence in PubMed, but that's pretty trivial for an OA journal). My hunch is to let the article be deleted for now and re-create it once it's included in MEDLINE, Scopus, or the Science Citation Index Expanded. At that time, ping me and I can help you to flesh out the article and provide adequate sourcing. --Randykitty (talk) 13:32, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
