 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment: the article mentions two things, a periodical and a song of Harvard. There are plenty of references in Harvard Magazine, but possibly those aren't admissible for being non independent. The reprint of an old book is available. ☆★   Mamushir   ( ✉✉ ) 19:47, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep I think this works to begin to establish notability and given a hard cover reprint 80 years later. Notability seem clear. My Google book search {"Harvardiana" -wikipedia} found multiple hits many of which look to meet WP:GNG Jeepday (talk) 17:51, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment: This article is about two things, a song and a magazine. Does that make sense?  Shouldn't they be separate articles, with each one having to stand or fall on its own notability? PianoDan (talk) 22:26, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment. "Harvardiana" is also a generic Latin term meaning "things relating to Harvard". The term is used in this sense at the Harvard Magazine website linked above and none of the pieces under the topic there have anything to do with this article's subjects. The reprint mentioned twice above is also probably not evidence of notability either—it's just a low-effort reprint of a public domain book from a company that churns out countless numbers of them. The only relevant source mentioned so far seems to be the first one linked by Jeepday, which does discuss the journal in a fair amount of depth. On Google Books there do seem to be additional older sources discussing the journal, perhaps enough to assert notability but I don't feel certain either way. —Nizolan (talk · c.) 14:44, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
