Article on a minor journal, created by an employee of the publishers, with no reliable independent sources. The "references" are merely index descriptors. Guy (Help!) 11:24, 4 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep. I'm not sure if this fails WP:NJOURNALS, which explains that "[t]he most typical way of satisfying Criterion 1 is to show that the journal is included in the major citation indices". According to the journal's website, it is indexed by several major indexing services, including SCOPUS (which is specifically mentioned by WP:NJOURNALS as an example of a major citation index). I'm leaning toward keeping this, but I'm willing to be persuaded if someone can show me why this fails WP:NJournals . -- Notecardforfree (talk) 19:03, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Upon further consideration, I have concluded that this article passes WP:NJournals; I have updated my vote accordingly. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 19:48, 6 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep Indexed in three selective databases in the sense of WP:NJournals (and if you check the journal homepage, there are others, like Current Contents). Article needs cleanup though. --Randykitty (talk) 14:14, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
