The New York Sociologist (NYSSA)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable journal. Similar to its namesake The new york sociologist which is also being nominated for deletion, Google reveals a stunning lack of independent reliable sources about this journal - "New York sociologist" NYSSA gets exactly 8 hits and only the first - the journal's own website - is relevant. 

Note to closing admin: Delete The New York Sociologist if either this page or The new york sociologist, or both, get deleted. Kimchi.sg 17:54, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. As the nom said, very little evidence to support notability. Seems like an organization that is just starting out and may one day be notable, but I don't see any evidence of current notability. -FisherQueen (Talk) 18:16, 8 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Do Not Delete The New York Sociologist is the offical journal of a respected statewide academic organization with a 53 year history of successfully running academic conferences. Their new journal builds on this history.  The 2006 issue includes a lead article by a respected award winning ethnographer and journalist Michael I. Niman.  The editorial board includes another well known ethnographer, Laura J. McClusky.  This journal is a noteworthy new publication published by a venerable organization with a long successful track record. NBeat 19:41, 8 February 2007 (UTC)NBeat


 * Delete. - As already argued on Articles for deletion/The new york sociologist. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tikiwont (talk • contribs) 20:00, 8 February 2007 (UTC). Tikiwont 20:01, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per my other comments per Tikiwont. Maybe the venerable organisation with the long successful track record should have its own article. -- zzuuzz(talk) 22:11, 8 February 2007 (UTC)


 * The venerable old organization now has its own article. Wikipedia should not discriminate against newbies and new blood. Many journals do not bother to write a Wikipedia entry.  Why not respect those that respect the Wiki process?  NBeat 00:32, 9 February 2007 (UTC)NBeat
 * Merge a one-liner into New York State Sociological Association. ~ trialsanderrors 01:10, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge. Harmless but non-notable. Sdedeo (tips) 06:30, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
