Thanks for your comment and suggestion. Merging Cogfog with either of the Bjork's pages is one possibility. However, Cogfog is more than just a meeting, as is explained on the page. It also is the lab group itself, and that lab group has included >100 people besides the Bjorks through the years -- other faculty, post-docs, grad students, undergraduate students, and visiting researchers. I have added references to academic journals for some of the key research articles published by Cogfog members through the years. While the Bjorks are co-authors on many of the articles, lots of other Cogfog members are co-authors as well. This change should help show the notable research that has been conducted by Cogfog as a group, not just the Bjorks. Mikeb716 (talk) 23:19, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Papers from members of the group establish the notability of the work/field, but not of Cogfog. What's needed to establish notability would be reliable source, independent of Cogfog, that discuss the group independently of the Bjorks. Note that most university departments (like UCLA Department of Psychology) don't reach the required level of notability, no research groups within them are also very unlikely to!

I am sorry. I was out of town this past week and not able to take part in the discussion about the Cogfog article. I see that it has been deleted already. I'm sorry to see that. As I tried to explain earlier, it is not redundant with Robert Bjork because many other people contributed to Cogfog over the years. Also, Cogfog is not just the name of the weekly lab meeting (as is incorrectly stated above in this discussion). The Cogfog article clearly explained that the term "Cogfog" refers to the meeting as well as the lab itself.
If you think the separate Cogfog article should be deleted, at least please merge most of the content from that article with Robert Bjork's page. That would add important details to Robert Bjork's article. The breadth of the work of the lab and the longevity of the lab make it noteworthy. Including the details from the Cogfog article on Robert Bjork's page would be better than deleting that information entirely.
