Regarding a possible claim to notability under , criterion 8,  would come from the subject having been chief editor of the ''Journal of Pragmatics.'' I'm uncertain how to rate that, not being familiar with linguistics as a discipline. However, I note that the journal has an impact factor of 0.798, giving it a rank of 41 out of 93 indexed linguistics journals in the ''Journal Citation Reports.'' The open source SciImago ranking http://www.scimagojr.com/journalrank.php?category=1203 ranks it 43rd out of 258 indexed journals. It's been around since 1977. What say we? Does that count as "major, well-established journal" in the area? I'm hesitant to apply personal judgments, coming as I do from another field, here
