 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article PRODded with reason "Non-notable journal. Not indexed in any selective databases, no independent sources. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG." Article dePRODded by SPA, after several external links were added. None of those links contributes to notability under either NJournals or GNG. PROD reason stands, hence: delete.

 * Delete. I can't find any significant outside coverage that would justify inclusion - seems like a clear case to me. — Blablubbs (talk • contribs) 11:42, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Likely spam. —Unforgettableid (talk) 18:19, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Added CODEN, LCCN and OCLC. Please note that it is an Indian journal, which may not get that much notability in the network. With a circulation of 850 and 450 articles published in the last 24 years, if this interdisciplinary journal is notable, then please delete it. Please check DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.3950746 Please check journal site: punejournalin.  Still if you find it not worth keeping, do delete it.  Best wishes.  -Sabin Abraham  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sabinabraham (talk • contribs) 17:15, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment. I think that you misunderstand how we do things here. It is not up to us to evaluate the contents of the journal and to decide whether it is meritorious or not. WP reports what others have said. That is how we interpret "notability" here: that others have noted the journal. As it is pretty rare that there are independent reliable sources discussing a particular journal in depth (as opposed to discussing articles that were published in that journal), we also look at whether the journal is included in relevant, selective databases. (See WP:NJournals. In the present case, the journal is not even in the specialized ATLA database, so unless something else comes us, it looks like the journal is not notable at this point. --Randykitty (talk) 07:51, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
