 * Comment. This journal is published in China. Is there a selective database based in China that might list this journal? Eastmain (talk • contribs) 16:14, 11 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Not that I know of. There are databases that contain as many Chinese journals as possible, but those are obviously not selective. --Randykitty (talk) 17:34, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete. The lack of digital object identifiers for an academic publication is not a good sign, I believe. It's possible Chinese language sources exist to establish notability, but I can't find anything in English. I considered we might redirect to Hainan Medical University, since the two share very similar names (海南医学 versus 海南医学院) but I see no mention of the university on the journal's website so they may not be connected. &#12296; Forbes72 &#124; Talk &#12297; 00:28, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * What is the journal's citation factor? Oaktree b (talk) 12:54, 18 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Not being in any Clarivate database, the journal has no impact factor. Not being in Scopus, it has no Citescore either. --Randykitty (talk) 13:58, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete for non-notability. I'm just not seeing enough about this journal to warrant a wiki article. Oaktree b (talk) 15:12, 18 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom fails WP:NJournals and WP:GNG.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 20:41, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete as failing the closest thing to a standard that we have and lacking a viable merge/redirect target. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 22:35, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
