Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/ACS Chemical Neuroscience
I removed the prod and I apologize if it was a mistake. I will not comment on the AfD since I contributed to expanding the article (though I did not create it). Thanks also for pointing out the guidelines in otability (academic journals). I was unaware since from the history it seems to be relatively new. I have two questions relavent to this AfD. Are SCI and Scopus (which are the only scientific databases mentioned in the guideleines) the only acceptable ones per guidelines? Are CAPlus and SciFinder, databases of Chemical Abstracts Service not appropriate or inadequate? I ask (as an aside) because as a chemist by training, there are a number of journals that I refer to that are not indexed in Scopus and this makes me feel a bit inferior. There is also a practical matter; List_of_scientific_journals_in_chemistry starts with a ranking based on Chem Abstracts which I will delete from the article if Chem Abstracts is an irrelevant database for scientific journals. I guess other journals might qualify for inclusion in Wikipedia if they are cited by "reliable sources" and have a "significant" history (which the journal in this AfD CLEARLY does not have). I was planning to work on other articles on journals, however, I request a bit more more clarity on what is a "reliable source" and a "significant history." Thanks so much
