Solid Earth (journal)

Apart from the fact that the title of this article does not match the title given in the lead sentence (which is it??), the article itself makes no claim as to the subject's notability and provides a reference to the journal's own website as one of its two references. Article includes no references to discussion of the subject in multiple reliable independent verifiable secondary sources. This article appears to be one of a series of recently created articles on earth science journals, all of which should probably be scrutinized carefully for notability. A search on the subject results in multiple hits for the journal which are not discussion of it but rather only evidence of its existence. If the journal itself is discussed anywhere, I was not able to find it. KDS4444 (talk) 14:33, 6 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep My apologies for giving the incorrect title in the lead sentence, I have now corrected this. I have read the Wikipedia guidelines on notability for academic journals https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(academic_journals) and having done this I believe this particular journal clearly and unambiguously qualifies because it is included in many selective citation indices including Scopus, Science Citation Index Expanded, and Journal Citation Reports. It therefore qualifies under criterion C1b and C1c. Metacladistics (talk) 14:46, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep Easy pass of NJournals. I have removed the reference to the journal's own website and added several independent ones. As an aside, I have checked all journal articles created by and up till now, they all meet NJournals without any problem. --Randykitty (talk) 07:18, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
