Anabasis (journal)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Article PRODded with reason "Non-notable journal. Not indexed in any selective databases, no independent sources. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG." Article dePRODded by anonymous IP without reason given. PROD reason still stands, hence: delete. Randykitty (talk) 21:58, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

 * I might argue that it satisfies Criterion 2 of WP:NJournals, with its articles being vitally important to historians of the Hellenistic Far East, for example. Thus, I will venture a keep, although I will happily defer to more experienced editors if I am incorrect in my thought process. AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 22:05, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
 * "its articles being vitally important to historians of the Hellenistic Far East" do you have a source for that? &#32; Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 07:16, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Per the remarks section on the page: "The only reasonably accurate way of finding citations to journals are via bibliographic databases and citation indices... the comprehensiveness of the coverage varies by field, geography, language, and thus the threshold for constitute "frequently cited" varies by field ... for journals in humanities, the existing citation indices and Google Scholar often provide inadequate and incomplete information." I cannot provide any sources, but I can provide you with very many authors in more recognised journals who have cited the works published in Anabasis.

 * If you don't have a source for that, then WP:NJOURNALS is not met. &#32; Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 22:34, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 21:48, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete indexed nowhere selective, fails all 3 of WP:NJOURNALS, and fails WP:GNG. &#32; Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 07:16, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete Ancient historical journals are not in my wheelhouse, but I agree it does not meet the criteria as listed above. Oaktree b (talk) 01:13, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom fails WP:NJOURNALS and WP:GNG.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 08:00, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
