Geophysical Research Abstracts

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable journal. Only publishes the abstracts of one single scientific meeting. No inependent sources. Not listed in any selective major database. Does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NJournals. Crusio (talk) 16:59, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete per nominator. Coverage of this publication is localized to only one yearly conference for one specific society, and not an encyclopedic topic. It is lacking in coverage from independent reliable sources, does not have an impact factor, and is not indexed in any major databases. Therefore, this publication does not meet the criteria for WP:GNG or WP:NJournals. Steve Quinn (talk) 02:37, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge with EGU. Also I have a hard time believing this isn't indexed in a major database. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 04:53, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment If you go by the title, yes, then you would expect it to be listed in some major databases. However, once you realize that this does not publish any articles/reviews, etc, but only abstracts, not being listed becomes understandable. In addition, the only abstracts published are from one single meeting. Concerning a "merge", I could see this as one line in the article on the EGU (something like "... and the abstracts are published as Geophysical Research Abstracts (ISSN XYZ)"). --Crusio (talk) 05:28, 10 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Merge with EGU Agree with Headbomb. This journal is unlikely to become notable as it only covers abstract of presentations (and posters) at a single conference. It can easily be mentioned or detailed on the page of the organization. I, Jethrobot drop me a line 16:58, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
