Journal of Causal Inference

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article PRODded with reason "Non-notable, relatively new journal. Not indexed in any selective databases, no independent sources. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG." Article dePRODded by creator without reason stated; PROD reason still stands, hence: Delete. Randykitty (talk) 18:09, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete or move to Draft space. This journal has been around a few years and is headed by Judea Pearl, a Turing award winner who wrote the book on causality. None of that confers notability, but does confer respectability. This journal isn't indexed in the indices mentioned in WP:NJournals, but it is part of the Thomson Reuters - Emerging Sources Citation Index which does seem somewhat selective. I don't think I could convincingly argue that the ESCI by itself is enough to pass notability, but it is enough to park this in Draft space until indexing in our preferred databases becomes available. --Mark viking (talk) 23:56, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't care much for ESCI: Jeffrey Beall on his blog has already noted that it even includes some obviously predatory journals... --Randykitty (talk) 08:23, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
