Fails WP:NJournals and, surprisingly, the Wikipedians commenting the last time claimed otherwise even though it clearly does not. The three criteria are:

Criterion 1: The journal is considered by reliable sources to be influential in its subject area.
- This is not true. The journal is panned by those who have evaluated it.
Criterion 2: The journal is frequently cited by other reliable sources.
- This is not true. The journal is basically never cited.
Criterion 3: The journal is historically important in its subject area.
- This is not true. The journal is of zero historical significance.

It is also clearly serving as a coatracking promotion of the fringe theories. jps (talk) 16:14, 10 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment (Note that I created this article.) How is the article acting as a WP:COATRACK? There is very little promotion, or even discussion at all, of any alternative medicine/paranormal/other pseudoscientific topics in this article. Also, jps would do well to look more closely at the NJOURNALS criteria, specifically the part that says: "For the purpose of C1 [criterion 1], having an impact factor assigned by Journal Citation Reports always qualifies." This journal does have such an impact factor: 1.012. [1] Everymorning (talk) 16:21, 10 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
