 * Keep. After all the e-prints of this journal are removed from Google Scholar results, there are still quite a few results. Also, I assume that "Kozhikode Medical College" is the same as "Calicut Medical College", there are a few English articles from Indian sources. John Vandenberg (chat) 04:45, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

 * You are right, Calicut Medical College and Kozhikode Medical College are the same. Salih  ( talk ) 05:26, 12 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep Per the sources found by John Vandenberg. Somebody should add them to the article (which is not very good at this point). --Crusio (talk) 10:29, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Done. --Crusio (talk) 11:44, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 13:25, 15 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep Cursory search shows notability. Listed in general lists of medical journals. Collect (talk) 14:22, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Why would being listed in general lists of medical journals make this medical journal notable? Abductive  (reasoning) 14:44, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Lists of medical journals for reference use generally do not include ones which are not notable or usable as reference. They are, if you will, a reference for which medical journals are accepted for reference.  They are definitely more discriminating than WP is as far as notability goes .

 * I guess I don't know what lists you refer to. Could these lists be considered secondary sources? Abductive  (reasoning) 16:03, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Insofar as they represent decisions by third parties as to notability, I suppose so (they would be secondary sources). As lists in themselves, they would be tertiary sources (WP definitions in such cases seem to fail), so an article should not copy lists from such sources.   Collect (talk) 16:15, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, but what lists? The article doesn't mention any lists. Abductive  (reasoning) 16:18, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
