International Studies. Interdisciplinary Political and Cultural Journal

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article PRODded with reason "Non-notable journal. No independent sources, not indexed in any selective database. The long list of databases in the article are all non-selective (Baidu, GScholar), inclusive (DOAJ), or user-contributed (and borderline predatory: Index Copernicus). Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG." DePRODded by article creator who added a lot of promotional material (see this version) and gave as reason "Journal has been a member of the Committee of Publication Ethics (COPE) since 2018 [https://publicationethics.org/members/international-studies-interdisciplinary-political-and-cultural-journal. The journal follows high publication and ethic standards recommended by this organization (this is why it couldn't be regarded as a predatory journal, but instead it is a legitimate scientific journal.)" However, this does not contribute to notability and PROD reason still stands. Hence: Delete. Randykitty (talk) 18:32, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: As no justification was given by the first/second delete vote this warrants a relisting
