:::::::Benefit is that the publications that don't meet WP:N would have a place to have basic info. I think that's an improvement. [[User:Hobit|Hobit]] ([[User talk:Hobit|talk]]) 15:33, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
::::::I do think it's much easier to show notability for the collection; in searching for sources discussing CG&A, I found several nice sources discussing e.g. the history of IEEE computer graphics publications, or the history of IEEE magazines. All the big publishers seem to attract coverage in a way that individual journals rarely do. Anyway, it benefits readers if it prevents fragmentation of information and provides context on under-covered (aka non-notable) topics, as Hobit says. But benefit is the crux of the issue, right? There are lots of non-notable topics that would benefit readers if we covered them in stand-alone articles, cf. the on-going debates about sport bios, or [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Google Chrome version history (2nd nomination)|Google Chrome version history]], etc. I think Wikipedia is probably worse if we allowed thousands of non-notable trade publications to put up a free marketing page, and I think Wikipedia is probably better if we allowed thousands of non-notable academic publications to put up a free marketing page. It's not a surprise I'm biased in favor of the academic journals and think they're useful, but until we have a policy that reflects a consensus beyond my personal biases in favor of academics, I'm reticent to explicitly endorse it.

:::::::Perhaps you could add those sources to [[List of IEEE publications]], to demonstrate that it is actually notable as a list and viable as a merge target. Currently it only has non-independent sources. —[[User:David Eppstein|David Eppstein]] ([[User talk:David Eppstein|talk]]) 17:49, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
