Sufficient notability?[edit]

I was informed on my user talkpage that user:Abductive nominated this page for deletion due to its lack of notability. I was aware when I created the page that Sexologies was less notable than other sexology journal pages that I was creating, but I believe this one still meets the threashold for inclusion:

  • Sexologies is listed in mainstream journal indexes, which is taken by many WP editors as evidence of sufficient notability. (A proposal to use such indexing as such evidence is currently under discussion as a proposed WP guidline here.)
  • The English-language title retrives over a 1/4 million google hits.
  • It is published by one of the most notable academic publishers in the world (Elseiver).
  • It is deemed sufficiently notable by institutions, such as the Kinsey Institute, to appear on their "list of 'selected' journals".
  • Sexologies is sufficiently respected in its field to be the official journal of two professional associations in that field (specifically, the European Federation of Sexology and the Association Inter-Hospitalo Universitaire de Sexologie).

Thus, although this journal is not going to rule the world any time soon, it does appear (at least, to me) to merit the short mainpage article.
