* '''Delete'''. [[WP:NJOURNALS]] is an essay, one that its supporters consistently refuse to try to get promoted to a guideline, which speaks volumes about the level of support it has among the broader community. Without an SNG we default back to [[WP:GNG]], and this article clearly fails that criteria - to keep this article would be a clear [[WP:LOCALCONSENSUS]] violation.

**As a personal favor to me, could you perhaps explain how the encyclopedia benefits from deleting this (and all other similarly-sourced academic/scientific journal articles)? Thanks. --[[User:Randykitty|Randykitty]] ([[User talk:Randykitty|talk]]) 11:40, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

**:First, scientific journals are not much different from other publications like popular magazines, where the publisher may wish to take advantage of Wikipedia to promote their product. Abuse of this sort is why we have actually had to go beyond GNG for such products and create [[WP:NCORP]]; going below GNG invites such abuse.

**:While the class this journal is in - not predatory, published by a significant non-profit organization - makes such a situation unlikely to apply, we don't make exceptions for organizations that we think are good generally, and we shouldn't make such exceptions here. Further, you did ask for {{tq|all other similarly-sourced academic/scientific journal articles}}.

**:Second, this article isn't far off from a database; it provides a somewhat explanatory lede, referenced almost entirely to primary sources, and then provides a raw-data list of the editors and the bibliographic databases it is abstracted and indexed in. This is not an encyclopedic article, and based on the sources available never can be; it belongs in Wikidata, not Wikipedia.
