Europe's World

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Possibly non-notable journal. Lots of unreferenced claims, and no references of note since tagged with notability in december 2007. Bjelleklang -  talk 21:33, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Their website claims to have a firmly cemented "reputation as a platform for new thinking and ground-breaking ideas" but the references in the article are primary, and there is a scarcity of 3rd party note of this journal: a comment piece in The Guardian by its editor (link), a brief mention in this book, which is more about its parent organisation. I'm inclined to suggest this should be merged into Friends of Europe but the ongoing relationship - aside from sharing officials - is unclear from the journal's website FAQ (as are topics such as the source of their funding).

 * Delete Lots of claims and name-dropping (but notability is not inherited), but no independent sources at all (ref. 2 is to a blog...) --Guillaume2303 (talk) 12:58, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Relisting comment: Journals are notoriously difficult to determine notability. Giving this more time to find refs.

 * Merge to Friends of Europe if others agree that it is a valid target, weak delete otherwise. I can see the journal's articles being quoted a fair number of times, and my impression is that it has indeed built a certain reputation, but the sources to show that are really scarce. The best I could gather are these  . It's strange that their website doesn't mention FoE at all, but the connection is stated on the three links above, as well as by the FoE website itself  — Frankie (talk) 17:44, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
