 * Keep - A quick google search brings up a lot of abstracts from various medical journals. I can't access them due to not being subscribed but it seems enough to assert notability in their field. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 21:48, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm not sure the information in the article is true. It can be redirected later to Tropical Medicine and Health if that page is ever created. Narayanese (talk) 00:36, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment According to the NCBI Journal's database the journal changed its name in 2004 to Tropical Medicine and Health. It is the official journal of the Japanese Society of Tropical Medicine. The journal has been published since 1971. Apart from this, I have not yet been able to find any additional information, especially about indexing and such. --Crusio (talk) 10:32, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
 * That's not PubMed. It's a different NCBI database. Narayanese (talk) 12:10, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep, and possibly merge into the article about the society if and when one is created..-- John Vandenberg (chat) 13:31, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Weak Keep There is a problem here of journals that may be of note nationally in another country. This is the leading national journal in a significant field of medicine, and thus notable The circulation according to Ulrich's is 700, but the leading international journal in the subject, American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, has a circulation of only 4200. For academics according to WP:PROF, we've held consistently that notability as an a expert in a subject is judged on a world-wide basis--but administrators, etc are judged in terms of their own educational systems. By that standard, its a notable journal.  DGG ( talk ) 05:28, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
