Proposed deletion of Tetrahedron Computer Methodology


The article Tetrahedron Computer Methodology has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern:
 * Failed journal that existed only for a brief time. Not indexed anywhere, no independent sources. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG.

While all constructive 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 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 will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

 * oh, that's annoying... I would not have added if it was not listed on this list of missing journals :( --Egon Willighagen (talk) 09:34, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that. I was hardly aware of those lists. They're pretty old and the community is decidedly less inclusive nowadays concerning academic journals (see the discussion on the talk page of WP:NJournals). When I find a moment, I'll place a note on those pages that articles should only be created for journals that meet WP:GNG or NJournals. Happy New Year! --Randykitty (talk) 09:51, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I will argue on the page's Talk page that I think that this journal was noteworthy. I have to figure out all the details, but it's an early experiment for sharing scientific source code. This is about to get common, but this paper predates the internet and this was an innovative way of sharing information. But I agree I need to dig up more info. The experiment is also noteworthy in that some papers have shown to be highly influentual, like paper on the CORINA, the industry standard for creating 3D chemical structures; I'll try to add that paper to the appropriate Wikipedia pages, and have the citation link to the journal page.


 * Well, thing is of course that it doesn't matter whether something is noteworthy (i.e., worthy of note). What is important is whether something has verifiably been noted in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. That is usually very difficult for academic journals, even ones that had a much longer history than this one. Articles that appeared in the journal may of course be used as references in other WP articles where appropriate, but that doesn't make the journal notable. --Randykitty (talk) 10:11, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, indeed. But I'm on it. I already added the ISSN and OLCL IDs but am actively looking for an independent source.--Egon Willighagen (talk) 10:14, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
 * OK, let me know if I can help (I have access to quite a lot of sources that are behind paywalls). --Randykitty (talk) 10:25, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
 * OK, I found to further independent sources. It's hard to find them, as most search hits for the journal name are just citations of articles in the journal. Can you give me some pointers how I'm doing? Is it enough for now? Can I remove the 'delete proposal' notice? --Egon Willighagen (talk) 11:29, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

Going in the right direction! :-) --Randykitty (talk) 13:46, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
 * OK, great! I have sent out an email to a mailing list about chemical information, and hope to get some further sources too. Also, I am trying to figure out of those floppy disks still exist :) Or at the very least the content of those floppies... --Egon Willighagen (talk) 13:47, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
 * You should also have a look at Nature, which in those days often published reviews of new journals (they stopped doing that, i guess because there are too many news ones being created nowadays). They might have covered this one... I have no time myself right now. --Randykitty (talk) 14:01, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Found it! There actually was a dedicated article about it!!! Thanks for the encouragement. This is excellent material for the Journal of Cheminformatics editorial were writing up :) --Egon Willighagen (talk) 16:06, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Excellent! I've removed the PROD tag. --Randykitty (talk) 16:24, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

A page you started (Compound Interest (website)) has been reviewed!
Thanks for creating Compound Interest (website), Egon Willighagen!

Wikipedia editor Nick Moyes just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

"This seems just about on the right side of borderline notable (see WP:WEBNOTE), so could I invite you to expand on it a bit further? Enlarging on the media interest mentioned in the references would be especially helpful"

To reply, leave a comment on Nick Moyes's talk page.

 * Hi, I've accepted this because I think there would at least be an argument over keeping the article if sent to AfD, given its association with the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and its much older originating journal, but I would suggest that you find an independent source for the history of the journal, as the sourcing for the article as it stands now is relatively weak. The abbreviation is also throwing up a template error, fyi. -- asilvering (talk) 23:24, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks, noted. I will double check the ISO4. About the first, I have requested that already, but not heard back yet. I will let them know it has been created now, as an extra encouragement. Egon Willighagen (talk) 04:10, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Journal of Organic and Pharmaceutical Chemistry


The article Journal of Organic and Pharmaceutical Chemistry has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Non-notable journal. Not indexed in any selective databases, no independent sources. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

 * Thanks for the feedback. I created a draft on purpose and requested feedback. It was approved. Getting immediately proposed for deletion suggests that English Wikipedia should revisit their Draft review process again. Regarding notability, this info is not easy to find, and I apologies I missed it. I am surprised Chemical Abstracts not recognized as a selective source, however.
