Boletín de la Sociedad Geológica del Perú

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable journal. Although it has been around for quite some time, it doesn't appear to have made much impact. Not indexed in any selective databases, no independent sources. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG. Randykitty (talk) 07:20, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment. A long-established journal of a national scientific society ought to be notable. Perhaps it was omitted from selective databases for being in Spanish. Is there a selective database that includes Spanish-language journals which might include it? I see some citations of articles published in the journal at this Google Scholar search.

 * Comment Both Scopus and the Science Citation Index Expanded list plenty Spanish-language journals. I think the problem here is more that Peru is not a "science heavyweight" so that this journal has not had much impact outside of the local geological society. There are non-selective Spanish-language databases (SciELO, for example) but even those don't list this. --Randykitty (talk) 09:57, 29 March 2019 (UTC)


 * My preferred outcome would be a merge to Sociedad Geológica del Perú if we had that article. But we don't. So I must think. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 11:31, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Not sure that the society itself is actually notable... --Randykitty (talk) 11:45, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
