Deletion of Journal of Biological Sciences

Comment: The journal was not notable even while it was listed by Scopus, so  is irrelevant here. There are good reasons why  is just an essay, and not a guideline. In complicated cases we should rely on official WP policies and guidelines such as . I feel that having been listed in a single selective index like Scopus is insufficient in cases like this one, and  does require significant coverage by multiple sources. In biology specifically, which is the topic of this journal, for journals that are genuinely notable I would accpect to see them listed in the WebOfScience and probably PubMed. Neither one has ever indexed this journal, and it never had a JCR impact factor. I don't think we should disregard the fact that the journal is published by a predatory publisher. Similar to  cases, we should treat such journals with greater scruitiny. Predatory journals basically function as expensive self-publishing platforms; they receive little coverage, their articles get minimal citations, and the journals are generally ignored by the scientific community. We should not keep WP articles on such journals just because the journals exist. In any case, the bottom line is that  is not satisfied here
