Delete medical journals are not inherently notable and this unsourced one-line article about a web-only one makes no assertion of notability. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 19:47, 10 July 2008 (UTC) Note: Several other journals follow, I am not grouping them as each stays or goes on its own notability vel non, but note any publication can call itself a medical journal, some among these are not peer reviewed, some are web-only, some defunct and some suffer several of these deficiencies - Yahoo and other online spaces have numerous groups devoted to talking and blogging about various hospitals, conditions, diseases, or medical care generally - just search for "autism", "cancer", or even "constipation"; those spaces aren't notable and either necessarily are the for-profit versions of the same...

- Comment. I have no strong opinion on whether Dynamic Chiropractic is or isn't notable, but I am very interested in this discussion. We use articles from this publication for sourcing articles on Wikipedia, such as at Chiropractic. But the question is, does Dynamic Chiropractic count as a reliable source? Regardless of whether or not it is notable, should we be using it at all? I look forward to opinions on this. --Elonka 21:32, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi Elonka, that's really a discussion for the RS noticeboard not an AfD. Tim Vickers (talk) 22:08, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi Tim. :) And yes, RSN is a better venue, but I'm also curious about the notability factor. Considering your own expertise, I'm very much looking forward to your own opinion on this particular periodical. :) --Elonka 23:02, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Never read it, never cited it I'm afraid. It's not in my area. Tim Vickers (talk) 23:53, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I have read it, and have cited it. It may not meet WP:MEDRS, but for the claims it is used for, it shouldn't have to. However, that doesn't mean that I agree (or disagree) with any notability claims. A reference CAN be reliable without being notable, can't it? DigitalC (talk) 23:56, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Of course it can; a map, an atlas, an almanac, a court docket, local newspaper, local telephone directory, most non-fiction books, articles, and journals fall into reliable sans notabiity. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 00:07, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: For the record, Dynamic Chiropractic is not web-only, as stated by the nominator.[1] DigitalC (talk) 00:17, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep 60,000 subscribers appears fairly substantial. Let's give this one a little more time to be fleshed out as well. II | (t - c) 01:38, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. This is a trade magazine not a journal. And a rather largely circulated trade magazine at that. This article should be treated no differently than other trade magazine articles such as Foodservice Equipment & Supplies, Gift Focus, Attire Accessories or Australian Dairy Foods. -- Levine2112 discuss 02:31, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep appears a significant trade magazine. Articleswithin it are unlikely to be of any value as RSs for scientific theories, but t hat's not relevant to notability DGG (talk) 03:29, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as per Levine, DGG. Edward321 (talk) 04:23, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per DGG. Support closing these AfDs promptly. WhatamIdoing (talk) 04:57, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Is it a journal (as indexed by CINAHL), a newspaper (as claimed by the subject), or a trade magazine? DigitalC (talk) 05:30, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy keep as previously mentioned about the 10 other journals that were listed for AfD, STRONG SUPPORT closing all these d/t WP:SNOW, not the place for discussion in AfD's as stated above Medicellis (talk) 17:12, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. I went ahead and added an infobox to the stub, along with an image. --Elonka 06:31, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
