Removal of James Lee review[edit]
[1] What sources support the assertion that Personality and Individual Differences is a "really low-quality journal"? The only relevant source I can find is https://retractionwatch.com/2020/06/17/elsevier-journal-to-retract-2012-paper-widely-derided-as-racist/ which does not criticize that journal, only the individual paper which the journal retracted. PAID has an impact factor of 4.3, [2] higher than the impact factor of Intelligence or the Journal of Intelligence. 2A02:FE1:7191:F500:1D68:AEEA:EBA5:D751 (talk) 19:02, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- Secondary sources are required to make evaluative statements in article space. But we are expected to use our judgement when evaluating what is a reliable source and what is due for inclusion. I would argue that any outlet which permitted Philippe Rushton and Richard Lynn to published work which was so obviously methodologically flawed cannot be considered reliable enough to establish notability for inclusion. Christ, they even devoted a tribute issue to Lynn [3] in 2012. If you'd like we can take this to a noticeboard to get more input from the community. This is, after all, a very peripheral page with few watchers. But I suspect that in the end others will for the most part agree with my take. Generalrelative (talk) 18:04, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
