Talk:List of entomology journals

message: This list was proposed for deletion with the following reasoning:
"Useless list of links to largely non-existent articles. Not a single external link. Article has been in existence for over two years but still has almost no usable content - it's impossible to learn anything from it or use it for further research." 
I disagree with this proposed deletion. To deal with the concerns above:
"Useless list of links to largely non-existent articles."
:Not quite sure why it's "useless" ... or any more useless than similar lists elsewhere in Wikipedia. The fact that the articles don't (yet) exist shouldn't be a reason to delete the list, it should instead be a reason to create those articles, where they are appropriate. If some entries do not deserve an article, then they should be trimmed from the list.
"Not a single external link."
:I don't understand this reason. Why does the list need external links?
"Article has been in existence for over two years but still has almost no usable content"
:What usable content you would expect a list like this to contain that it does not contain? Addition of that info would be an alternative to deletion, but we need to know what you have in mind.
"It's impossible to learn anything from it or use it for further research."
:To say something is impossible requires an enormously high standard of proof ... is that really what you meant to say?

Oriental Insects , Tropical Lepidoptera  etc. The list of additions is really huge. I think it should be reclassified with columns giving subject scope (applied, systematics, genetics etc.), region scope and taxa scope. Shyamal 04:37, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: [[Talk:Lists of journals#RFC|RfC on journal list names]]

message: This list needs extensive cleanup and editing. It does not make much sense to class journals by country. This leads to absurdities such as journals on African entomology being classed under Belgium. In addition, there are no clear inclusion criteria. At this point, it looks like any entomology journal would fit into this list, notable or not. This has led to the inclusion of an enormous number of redlinks, most of which I suspect will never be developed into full articles (or even stubs). The "references", with very few (if any) exceptions, are just external links to the journals' homepages. this just establishes that the journal exists, at best. --Crusio (talk) 12:19, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. I have re-ordered the list by title, which was one of your points, but the question of inclusion criteria needs to be dealt with. I propose to remove all red-linked titles which have no incoming links beyond this list. This isn't quite the same as notability, but it's a lot easier to measure. --Stemonitis (talk) 07:54, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cleanup 

message: BDS was only formed in 1983, so a start date for the journal of 1885 is going to be wrong. Also, the ISSN search doesn't return anything - do we have a source that says that this is definitely the correct ISSN? SP-KP (talk) 22:38, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Quite right. I Googled a title listed in the journal's index under volume 1, issue 1, and "Notes on finding larvae of Somatochlora arctica (Zetterstedt) in NW Scotland" is usually cited as "Butler (1983)", which matches the society's age perfectly. The ISSN is the one given by JournalSeek, so I have removed the  tag there, too, just in the absence of any evidence that it's not right. Confirmation from a printed copy would still be useful. --Stemonitis (talk) 07:17, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

text: I've just taken a look at the Oct 2010 copy and can't find an ISSN printed anywhere in it. I think that one of the conditions of having an ISSN is that you have to print it in every issue, so either it's not got one, or it has, and the editors have forgotten it. SP-KP (talk) 18:01, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Curious. I can also find no such criterion on the ISSN website, but I imagine there is a lot more to the whole process than is covered by their FAQ page. I would still prefer to keep the ISSN for JBDS, but I won't revert anyone who feels strongly enough to remove it. --Stemonitis (talk) 18:10, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I think we should keep it, but tag it somehow. The Dubious tag is too strong though, I wonder if there is another tag that says something like "verification needed" ? SP-KP (talk) 18:42, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: So, I just learned today that the Template:ISSN link template exists. It looks like this list could benefit from it for a few reasons: no "ISSN" appearing before every single link and wasting table space, it supports adding online ISSNs, it will automatically insert a line break for said online ISSNs and will automatically show "(print)" and "(web)" after the two ISSNs (if there are two, that is). Any objections to using this template here instead of Template:ISSN? (Though if nobody responds here, I might go to one of the project pages instead) Monster Iestyn (talk) 20:24, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
