Asian American Literature Fans

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Proposed deletion removed without comment. My concerns are are this is a Non-notable website with no significant, third-party coverage of the subject itself. This "journal" appears to be no more than a blog (http://asianamlitfans.livejournal.com/) and annotated reading list (http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/657-asian-american-literature-fans). Trivial mentions in books and websites appear to be excerpts from user-generated reviews, not reliable sources. Even if notable academics contribute reviews, notability is not inherited. --Animalparty! (talk) 00:36, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete Of the many references in the article, a small minority (2 of 15) are actually about the e-journal. Of those two, one is to the journal's homepage at SUNY Binghamton and the other is to LibraryThing, a booklover's wiki.  The remaining sources are all about academics that have apparently contributed reviews of other works to the e-journal.  Wider searches finds numbers of social media and blog sites, and a few reviews cribbed from AALF on bookseller's sites.  No indication that it satisfies any of the notability criteria for academic journals, especially since the only real coverage in Google Scholar is reviews of works by the founder that mention this e-journal in passing.

 * Delete - Per the Nominator. Very few Livejournal sites are notable; this isn't one of them.  Yoshiman6464   ♫🥚 01:24, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
