Talk:Open-access monograph

No independent notability

 * as far as I can see, an "open access monograph" is just the same thing as a monograph that happens to have been published OA. I don't see anything special or particular about this subject (which is, of course, why I redirected it to an appropriate target). --Randykitty (talk) 15:29, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
 * By that logic, open access journal should also not have it's own page? - Lawsonstu (talk) 15:30, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
 * It's a research topic in it's own right (e.g. and there is a directory, same as for journals. - Lawsonstu (talk) 15:32, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
 * There's an abundant literature on OA journals. I dare say that is not the case for OA monographs. --Randykitty (talk) 15:44, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
 * If you're challenging notability you should tag it so instead of redirecting without discussion. fgnievinski (talk) 18:19, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirecting something instead of tagging is quite a regular action and doesn't need discussion in advance. If it's challenged (like any other ordinary edit), you take it to the talk page. Please familiarize yourself with WP:BOLD. --Randykitty (talk) 18:38, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
 * It did seem fairly sourced, so claiming "no independent notability" because it receives less coverage than OA journals is a bit of a stretch IMO. Also, as noted in the article, OA books are unique at least in their business models. fgnievinski (talk) 18:57, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
