Annals of the University of Bucharest: Political Science Series

This was previously deleted by prod, with the following rationale: "Non-notable journal. Not indexed in any selective databases, no independent sources. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG." I figure that still holds true, and should prompt a second, more permanent deletion. - Biruitorul Talk 05:10, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Keep. Um, it's a well known Romanian political science journal with almost a century-long history, and existing in its current form since 1999. Its editorial board includes some of the most famous European political scientists alive, such as Donatella della Porta. I also guess the rather frivolous claims above do NOT hold true. What's "non-independent" about România Liberă or an independently written history book about the university written by independent scholars? Robert W.W. Zorg (talk) 17:47, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Does the journal meet the criteria spelled out at WP:NJournals? Is it indexed in any selective databases?
 * The references in their current form are pretty worthless:
 * What is the title of the România Liberă article and who is the author?
 * What page numbers in the Berciu-Drăghicescu book mention the journal, and in what context? - Biruitorul Talk 22:53, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete I was the orginal PRODder and didn't notice that this had been re-created a week after it had been re-created (it also wasn't tagged for the academic journals wikiproject, so this didn't turn up in the article alerts either). Nothing has changed since I placed the PROD a few weeks ago. The "keep" rationale above is without merit: "it's a well known Romanian political science journal" (no sources that confirm this); "Its editorial board includes some of the most famous European political scientists alive" (WP:NOTINHERITED, there has been a longstanding consensus in the academic journals wikiproject that editorial board members should not even be mentioned in an article about a journal, unless there are reliable sources that discuss their role in the journal's editorial policy and such. That it is mentioned in a book on the history of the university is not surprising either, I imagine that such a book would mention all kinds of trivia that are not notable otherwise. In short, there's not a shred of notability here. Thanks Drmies for bringing this to my attention! --Randykitty (talk) 11:20, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
