Talk:Structural Equation Modeling (journal)

Contested deletion

This page should not be speedy deleted because... ... this is a peer-reviewed journal with very good standing. An impact factor of 3.153 is pretty damn good for statistics journals (see Comparison of statistics journals)--Stas K (talk) 17:29, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This WP article is just a publishers' blurb. It should be deleted and re-added when it meets WP policies.

It's not clear that this should be a statistics journal. The SEM community is populated mainly by people at "quantitative methods" departments at Educational Schools, and their psychology departments, and by sociologists. (OSU and Riverside are exceptions, with good statisticians in statistics departments, but they usually publish in better journals.) The Impact Factor is due mainly to self-citation. This journal has little impact on good statistics journals. Kiefer.Wolfowitz (Discussion) 17:44, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've also tagged this under G12 as a copyvio of http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/titles/10705511.asp. Acather96 (talk) 18:05, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've declined the speedy; there's enough of a claim to notability, and the copyright violation can simply be blanked. Stas K: don't copy anything from anywhere. Others: Feel free to go to AfD. Melchoir (talk) 05:17, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My bad. I will edit the entry somewhat to make more informative. There are links to the online version of the journal in the infobox for the journal. Would that satisfy the criteria for verifiability? Stas K (talk) 23:41, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
