Do not delete: The page is not about a website. It is about an important psychological scale and the comprehensive theory of the Self-Perceived Quality of Life. A link is provided to a website which contains more information about the scale and the theory.

It's about a program accessed through a web site, so As reviewing administrator, I did not delete it via speedy. However, you need to show notability with references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases . And, do not copy from a web site or previous publication, as seems to be the case here from the reference format. -- first it's a copyright violation, but, even if you give us permission according to

possible solution: a much briefer article, with some sources showing clearly that this scale is in fact accepted by others than its originator. Otherwise, I think it will be nominated for deletion, and probably deleted. DGG ( talk ) 22:34, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I added a reference for a book about this scale published by an academic publisher and a reference to a clinical use of this scale for monitoring quality of life of women living with HIV. Ephraim C. Trakhtenberg, Ph.D. (talk) 21:32, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The book based on the dissertation is now in press. It is being published by an academic publisher, the VDM Publishing House http://www.vdm-publishing.com/index.php. It has already being published by ProQuest UMI Dissertation Publishing, which also involves peer-review and is considered a gold standard for validating dissertation research. Here is a link: http://gradworks.umi.com/33/05/3305319.html Also, I can include a link to the abstract for presentation at the American Psychological Association convention. For research to be accepted for presentation at the American Psychological Association convention, it has to be peer-reviewed and approved. So, the acceptance is usually considered as an award and acknowledgement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Trakhtenberg (talk • contribs) 02:22, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I added a reference for a book about this scale published by an academic publisher and a reference to a clinical use of this scale for monitoring quality of life of women living with HIV. I did not publish more academic works about this scale because I requalified from psychology to neurobiology. Present academic references and clinical use of the scale definitely establish sufficient notability. Could someone with appropriate credentials please remove the tag which marks this article for deletion? Ephraim C. Trakhtenberg, Ph.D. (talk) 21:30, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
