Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Modern phytomorphology
Thank you for taking the time Novikoffav to expand on the journal’s history, and for allowing us to catch an interesting glimpse at the processes and context underlying its development. It is a known problem that Wikipedia lacks coverage of many significant subjects outside of the English-speaking world (primarily America) due to language barriers including lack of coverage in English-speaking sources, and lack of editor interest/background in these subjects. I http://www.amjbot.org/content/88/10/1711.full#sec-20 found an article by very well-respected comparative developmental biologist Donald R. Kaplan on plant morphology and it appears to be one such subject which has been overlooked in America due to the difficulty in translation as well as cell and molecular techniques coming to prominence in the biological sciences in general. In some ways the policies here are reflective of the cell and molecular approach to biology, with deletion discussions focused on small, quantifiable markers like presence in selective databases. Looking through the journal I am impressed with the rigorous detailing of plant morphology which I would love to see applied elsewhere such as in tumor morphology. The journal provides, in English, a scholarly look at region-specific botany in a field of study that is known to be under-represented in English sources, and apparently many indexing services https://phytomorphology.org/new-requirements-for-cyrillic-references/ can't even operate with Cyrillic script|Cyrillic. Such considerations should be taken into account. In my opinion  and  are in conflict here, and that the former should in this case be given preference over the latter
