I can't believe that any notable academic journal would be hosted at geocities.com or have such an ungrammatical name. Phil Bridger (talk) 23:04, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as per the nominator. Looks dubious, and doesn't appear to pass the WP:N test. -- Mizu onna sango15 / 水 女 珊瑚15  00:33, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Weak delete the best that can be said for it tis that its a major journal for the country, and that, in view of systematic bias, it should remain included. (And one might make a grammatical allowance for awkward titles of non-English origin, that's not a safe way to judge.  But they have published very little, and it's not of much international significance.  DGG (talk) 03:58, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails notability and verifiability guidelines. Jasynnash2 (talk) 10:53, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, no showing that this meets the website notability guidelines. But comment: prejudice against the Geocities host shouldn't really play a part in this: nothing about being hosted on Geocities precludes a site from meeting those guidelines.  For a likely low-traffic site like this, it may be a highly cost effective choice.  The goal seems praiseworthy; the individual articles plausible insofar as I can understand them.  Nor should the fact that it's unlikely that the host is a native English speaker be held against it.  But the real problem is that as far as I can tell this is inded a low-traffic site, without independent commentary specifically about the site itself.  Note also that citations to articles hosted here would not make a case under the guideline as written. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:22, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
