Boyhood Studies

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

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 article creator with reason "external refs provided. deletion nomination cancelled". Sources added are 1/ WorldCat, 2/ A book/journal sellers site, and 3/ a press release. Note that the journal is not new as the article states, but continues Thymos: Journal of Boyhood Studies (itself also PRODded for the same lack of notability). None of these establish notability in the least, hence: Delete. Randykitty (talk) 15:55, 24 September 2015 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete per nom. Clearly fails journal notability criteria. clpo13(talk) 05:39, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Men's Studies Press just as Thymos: Journal of Boyhood Studies is. The journal itself doesn't qualify for an independent article as it fails all criteria at WP:JOURNALCRIT. clpo13(talk) 05:41, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
