Cognitive Neuroscience Society

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Cognitive Neuroscience Society does not seem almost at all notable. The journal itself (Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience) does not seem to be related since the official website says "Published by the MIT Press and the Cognitive Neuroscience Institute" which does not seem to be the same as Cognitive Neuroscience Society. Google doesn't return almost anything except for a facebook page with 25k followers. In light of this, it seems this article does not meet WP:NOTE and I can't find any relevant news sources to back up the notability of this page. Therefore, I propose a deletion.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment. I'll provide a more substantive comment later but the nom appears to be correct that the joural in question is not published by this society. There is a blog post at the society's webpage about the history of the journal, which notes that the first editor-in-chief was Michael Gazzaniga, a founder of the society. But that appears to have been the extent of the connection. I have removed the sentence about the journal from the article. Nsk92 (talk) 18:05, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. This society may not be particularly large (seems to be about 2K+ members) but it gets a reasonable amount of coverage in the newsmedia, as far as academic societies go. There are examples of news articles covering the society itself, specifically, such as this article about the CNS 2018 annual meeting in Boston. Here is an editorial blog post from the Scientific American about the 2012 annual meeting of the CNS. More typical are articles that discuss some of the society's actovities, in various degrees of detail. Recent examples include Science and Nature, where responses of scientific societies to the COVID-19 pandemic are discussed. The CNS gets a few paragraphs in each. Most news stories concern various studies presented at CNS meetings. That's still nontrivial coverage, and there's a lot of it over 600+ GNews hits. Here are some samples at NYT . Looking at the CNS governing board, one can see right away that the organization is legit: Marie Banich has h-index 77], Roberto Cabeza has h-index 97 , Marta Kutas has h-index 110 , and so on. Overall passes WP:GNG and WP:ORG. Nsk92 (talk) 18:37, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
