Ars Disputandi
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Online journal lacking the multiple, independent and non-trivial coverage necessary to demonstrate enough notability to have a Wikipedia article to itself. Previous deletion discussion focused on arguments that do not follow actual Wikipedia policy or notability standards... the only argument that at least tried to follow them claimed there were enough sources but then cited things that absolutely do not count under WP:RS rules.

 * Keep per arguments at last AfD - peer-reviewed academic journal published by a university press yielding 395 WorldCat hits (apparently up from 370 last time) = a clear pass of Notability (academic journals), Criterion #1. I'm not sure why the nominator expects the consensus to change. StAnselm (talk) 03:30, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep As explained in the previous AfD, I disagree with St. Anselm's rationale. However, the journal is included in the major selective database in the field, ATLA, which is a keep under WP:NJournals. --Randykitty (talk) 09:52, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Nothing has changed since the last recent AfD discussion. The journal is in ATLA, which as noted by Randykitty, satisfies notability criteria under WP:NJournals. --Mark viking (talk) 16:43, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep Indexed by PhilPapers and Philosopher's Index, the two most important indices for philosophy, so keep per WP:NJournals as Randykitty says. -- Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 13:04, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
