Before I deleted it for copyright problems, I noticed you had commented on Scholarly Kitchen's noteworthiness. I'd love to recreate the article if it is in fact notable, so I'm trying to find some good, independent sources about the subject. Do you know of any articles, news items, books, etc that discuss SK that ought to be included in the article? Thanks, ErikHaugen ( talk | contribs) 17:20, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
Yes, the Scholarly Kitchen is widely recognised and quoted, even by those (such as myself) who strongly disagree with most of what's posted there. It's an important source, and absolutely notable. See for example the citation of The Scholarly Kitchen as reference 2 in this peer-reviewed PLOS ONE article: http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0050109 MirkMeister ( talk) 22:21, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
I can't see the article as it was pre-deletion—I'm not sure what you mean; if it addresses your question I'll say it was essentially a mirror of SK's website's "about" page; please let me know if you need something more specific. Regarding the distinction between citations of and sources about, the point is that we want the SK article to say things, and we need to refer to sources that verify that content. We need them for a proper article on this subject. I see the point about how citations to SK make a case for its importance, but I don't know if there's any way to reflect that in the article. (There might be; it kind of seems like there should be—maybe some 3rd party analysis of how many citations it gets?) Anyway, thanks, ErikHaugen ( talk | contribs) 23:36, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
