Notability
[edit]The EMS Newsletter is the European Mathematical Society's counterpart of the AMS Notices. Since the AMS Notices has a separate Wikipedia profile, this should be the case for the EMS Newsletter as well, as it plays equally central role in keeping the general mathematical audience up-to-date with the developments in the field of Mathematics (on behalf of the EMS!) (PeterMath1729 (talk) 16:42, 26 November 2019 (UTC))
Additionally, I just noticed that the Wikipedia editor Willsome429 in his own page is writing that "... I joined a few years ago and primarily edit articles related to motorsports and American football...". Thus it is reasonable to assume that he/she might not be knowledgeable enough with respect to what are the notable publications in the Science world. To be honest, the fact that we have to argue about the notability of the EMS Newsletter is absurd. (PeterMath1729 (talk) 16:49, 26 November 2019 (UTC))
I think that it may meet some criteria from WP:NMAG or WP:NJournals. Maybe "The periodical has had regular and significant usage as a citation in academic or scholarly works". Anyway, the EMS Newsletter is very famous and respected among mathematicians. JonahSpars (talk) 03:56, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
The Newsletter of the European Mathematical Society is one of the most famous and widely circulated periodicals in the world, for the general Mathematical audience, along with the Notices and the American Mathematical Monthly of the American Mathematical Society. It very well exceeds notability criteria to justify its own Wikipedia article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.206.64.5 (talk • contribs)
- No it doesn't. The AMS Notices meet WP:NJournals (inclusion in Scopus), but the EMS Newsletter does not (not indexed in any selective databases). Hence the first one meets our inclusion criteria but the second one doesn't. If it is indeed "one of the most famous and widely circulated periodicals in the world", then there should be reliable sources that are independent of the subject that would make it pass WP:GNG. For the moment though, I don't see those. --Randykitty (talk) 16:54, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
Almost all Abel Prize and Fields Medal laureates give interviews to the EMS Newsletter after being awarded these prizes. This happens because the EMS Newsletter is the representative of the European Mathematical Society, informing the public and popularizing events that take place in the Mathematics world at large. It is known among Mathematicians that this periodical has a very large audience and hence it would be reasonable for Wikipedia readers to be able to get some more detailed information about the EMS Newsletter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.206.64.5 (talk • contribs)
- Please see WP:NOTINHERITED. It doesn't matter what the newsletter publishes. What matters is what others have published about the newsletter. Again, please read WP:GNG and WP:NJournals to see what we need for inclusion. Also, please sign your posts using frou tilde (~~~~}}. Thanks. --Randykitty (talk) 18:52, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
