Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of scientific journals in Serbia


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.  

The result was USERFY. I'm sorry, but this is just not permissible in article space as it stands. It's just a washing line to hang possible ideas on. However, it is useful as a place for people to track what's being done about these journals (many of which I expect to fail notability tests). I'm therefore going to take the rather unusual route of userfying this to User:Nikola Smolenski/List of scientific journals in Serbia. If there is a better non-articlespace home for it, then by all means move it there (is there a WikiProject, for example?). -Splash - tk 21:07, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

List of scientific journals in Serbia

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Previously AFD'd, because it contained 100% red links. None of these seem to have been blueified, and this may go AFD'd under the "Wikipedia is not an unlimited resource of informaiton". Montchav 17:23, 2 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. This list is just a sea of red, and lacking in any meaningful sources or useful information about these journals. Wikipedia is not a library catalog. Category:Serbian magazines already exists for the few bluelinks. —David Eppstein 03:40, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 11:45, 5 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete as useless (simultaneously too broad, by discipline, and too specific, by country), but userfy so the info. isn't lost for someone who wants to do something else with it. JJL 14:47, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - Many of these Serbian journals certainly meet WP:NOTE inside Serbia, e.g. Journal for Technology of Plasticity and Ekonomist. If Wikipedia can include lists of highly obscure or even defunct railroad stations, it should include this list of journals. If you are unhappy the list has so many red links, applies. - Neparis 16:59, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - this is a valid, well-defined list topic. It obviously points to the lack of other content in this area, but red links are not grounds for deletion.  It could be made more useful, and hopefully some day that will happen, but there's no reason to delete it.--ragesoss 20:36, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Presumably most of the links will be filled in eventually. Such a list is useful as a starting point. DGG (talk) 22:04, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as per JJL and David Eppstein. Bobby1011 02:45, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete as totally useless. – Mike . lifeguard  &#124; @en.wb 03:51, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per ragesoss. When some articles are written, we can then see whether these journals are notable enough for WP and hence whether this list is OK. --Bduke 11:05, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - The journals may be notable, so let them write articles about the journals. The list is useless though. – Mike . lifeguard  &#124; @en.wb 21:17, 6 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. The mass red-links suggest to me that the very concept of "Serbian scientific journalism" is non-notable, and thus this is listcruft.  Someguy1221 21:28, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Do you realize how insultive is what you just said? Nikola 10:27, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Please, keep. I expected that the list would be slowly filled, but, sadly, it did not happen. Plan B is to make a few articles about journals under letter A (I'll ask for permission for their webpage contents) and see if that will stimulate people to write more. In response to the comment on my talk page: reliable source about the journals is Serbian Citation Index, a service similar to Google Scholar maintained by the National Library of Serbia. The fact that a category exists about magazines in Serbia doesn't mean too much, it is well known what are differences between lists and categories. The list is, as someone previously said, well-defined, and no different than, say, List of Serbs. Nikola 10:27, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep A great resource and start to the mighty task of writing journal articles. Breaking the lists of journal titles down into fields is make sit easier for people to find information that they care about enough to contribute to. Consider merging somehow with Category:Journals_by_language. This currently lacks a Serbian language entry.Neilarmius 05:03, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
