Banaras Law Journal

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

Article PRODded with reason "Non-notable journal. Not indexed in any selective databases. A Google search gives 113 hits, most of them issues of this journal in Google Books, but no in-depth independent sources. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG." Article dePRODded by creator who posted a justification on the article's talk page. Those comments, however, are based on a misinterpretation of NJournals, so PROD reason still stands. Hence: delete.

 * Are you able to point to any relevant notability guideline to indicate that this journal meets it? WP:JOURNALCRIT doesn't enjoy the status of being a subject-specific notability guideline (SNG), but WP:DEL-REASON#8 gives policy-based reasons to delete articles that do not meet any of the relevant notability guidelines. In other words, can you point to the SNG that this article's subject satisfies and/or can you provide evidence that this passes the WP:GNG? —  Red-tailed hawk (nest) 03:43, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep in light of two academic journal reviews of Banaras Law Journal 1(1), which appeared in The International and Comparative Law Quarterly in 1966 and Journal of the Indian Law Institute in 1965, and satisfy WP:GNG. Subsequent mentions in The Modern Law Review (1987) and Education & Law Journal (2010) in articles assessing the state of legal research and education in India state that Banaras Law Journal had an "impressive head start" as a law journal published by a university (MLR) and that it is one of the prominent national journals (E&LJ). (All of the above are cited now within the article.) Cielquiparle (talk) 13:02, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep there's enough external sources over a period of years (not just year of establishment). Passes WP:GNG. &#32; Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 08:13, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
