Involve (journal)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Tagged for notability since 2009. Not really familiar with math journal, but this looks non-notable to me. May as well have a full debate on its notability. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 14:48, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Mathematical Sciences Publishers, where it is already listed. This looks like a serious peer-reviewed journal with a good editorial board and published by a small but reputable publisher. But I am having a hard time finding a policy-based argument for keeping the article. I was unable find evidence of indexing in any selective index. There is an interview with the founding editor at maa.org, but it is the only news article I could find. The journal seems to fail both WP:GNG and WP:NJournals notability criteria. It looks like a case of WP:TOOSOON, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong. Involve journal seems like a reasonable search term, so a redirect is preferred over outright deletion. --Mark viking (talk) 02:54, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect. It's indexed in MathSciNet, but that doesn't count as selective — they try to index all mathematics journals. I don't see any clear evidence of passing WP:NJournals. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:23, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect As said above, doesn't meet WP:NJournals, but a redirect does no harm. --Randykitty (talk) 10:43, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
