Article on a minor journal, created by an employee of the publishers, with no reliable independent sources. The "references" are merely index descriptors. Guy (Help!) 11:23, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I'm not sure if this fails WP:NJOURNALS, which explains that "having an impact factor assigned by the Institute for Scientific Information's Journal Citation Reports always qualifies under Criterion 1". Here, Journal Citation Reports gives this journal an impact factor of 3.387. Also, this journal seems to be abstracted/indexed in significant databases. I'm leaning toward keeping this, but I'm willing to be persuaded if someone can show me why this fails WP:NJournals. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 19:06, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Upon further consideration, I have concluded that this article passes WP:NJournals; I have updated my vote accordingly. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 19:44, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Sizeable impact factor, indexed in multiple selective databases, clear pass of WP:NJournals. --Randykitty (talk) 14:16, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
