This article was the subject of an educational assignment in Spring 2017. Further details were available on the "Education Program:Hanyang University/Sociology of Everyday Life (2017) ()" page, which is now unavailable on the wiki.
The company is not particularly reliable, yes, but I still don't see which part of our policies allows us to say it is below the threshold for WP:RS. Yes, RS does caution against predatory OAJ, but it doesn't say they cannot be used. Like all sources, we have to consider this in more detail. If it was medical research, I'd agree that POAJ should be banned on sight. But this is a low key cultural studies topic with little controversy. The article seems ok - hardly good quality, but I don't see any obvious errors there or anything that would mark it as problematic. Being published by POAJ should not disqualify the work. If you want to have this removed, you should show a consensus from WP:RSN that this article is unreliable, or consensus from WP:RS that everything published in POAJ is not acceptable on sight. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here09:56, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It has no peer-review. It is basically self-publishing. You pay the fee, your paper goes in, regardless of merit. That fails WP:RS. This is not a controversial view (check at WP:RSN if you like). Guy (Help!) 00:41, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The article in question (btw, two links to copies of the same text :-) [1][2] is an extremely naive work by a nobody student. It does have the basic facts straight, because the author cites them from reliable sources rather than from her own research. Therefore a proper approach is to pinch the "morsels of wisdom" from this article and trace them to good sources, some of which are cited there (such as "kurşun dökme"). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Staszek Lem (talk • contribs) 10:09, December 22, 2017 (UTC)
