Welcome!

Hello, JimSmithJones, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Annals of Respiratory Medicine, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

Articles for deletion nomination of Annals of Respiratory Medicine

I have nominated Annals of Respiratory Medicine, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Annals of Respiratory Medicine. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Glenfarclas (talk) 06:30, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also Journal of Clinical Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal Medicine. I've got nothing against the journals, they just don't currently seem to be at all notable. --Glenfarclas (talk) 06:37, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Journal of Coagulation Disorders

The article Journal of Coagulation Disorders has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

A search for references failed to find significant coverage in reliable sources to comply with notability requirements. This included web searches for news coverage, books, and journals, which can be seen from the following links:
Journal of Coagulation Disorders – news, books, scholar
Consequently, this article is about a subject that appears to lack sufficient notability.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Status and Advice

Please do not create articles for new journals that have no significant record of publication and are not yet indexed anywhere. They can not possibly be notable yet, except in very unusual circumstances. After they have been included in at least the major indexes in the field, and have a record that articles published therein are appreciably cited, then consider it. When you do, consider that, ased on what is generally accepted here, an article about a journal should contain:

Fulll titles, earlier titles used, and the corresponding dates. Make cross references from any variant titles.
Standard abbreviations used--make redirects from them.
publishing & sponsoring body, as well as earlier publishers & sponsors
availability on line
no. of articles published a year
ISSNs for both print and online versions
Online availability of current and earlier issues
Open access availability, if relevant.
Circulation (sourced somewhere--default place to get it is Ulrichs)
coverage in major standard indexes, inclding particularly Scopus and Web of Science (Science Citation Index)
latest year's impact factor if available, and rank in the JCR subject field(s). Include the year so it can be updated.
any actual references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases.
a list of the 3 or 4 most influential articles similarly, getting citation figures from Web of Science or Scopus.
External links to the journal's main web site, and , if relevant, the main website of the sponsoring body.

It should not contain

General information listing all the fields covered, unless it is not obvious from the title
Statements of praise for the journal -- see WP:PEACOCK
A list of those on the editorial board
names of the staff, except editors in chief; subordinate or section editors should not usually be listed.
Information about subscription prices
Information about how to submit articles
Links to the publisher's general website, or to subpages within the journal's site.
and, most important, it must contain no text from the web page description of the journal. That is a copyright violation, and needs to be rewritten. Even if you are prepared to donate copyright according to WP:DCM, it is likely to be unsuitably promotional.

Please read our FAQ about organisations, and articles like this, and for more specific information our Wikipedia:WikiProject Academic Journals/Writing guide. As it specifies there, the best way to start is by using the infobox journal template; but also convert the information there to prose. DGG ( talk ) 23:09, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
