Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable new journal. Not indexed in any selective databases (PubMed indexing is through PubMed Central), no independent sources. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG. Article de-PRODded with a claim of "historic purpose" as "the first academic journal from India focusing on the discipline of family medicine and primary care exclusively", which is a clear misreading of NJournals#3.

1. It meets criteria of WP:NJournals it is indeed indexed in Pubmed. Please see http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Journal+of+family+medicine+and+primary+care If you can click on any article you see that it has a PMID as well as PMCID. I guess one checked the NLM catalog which still says the older status " PubMed: Coverage to be announced " But indeed is is coveredin Pubmed as well as Pubmed Central. Those journals that are in PMC only do come up in Pubmed searches but they do not get PMID. They get a PMCID only. JFMPC has both PMID and PMCID NJournals does not require it to be in MEDLINE necessarily 2. It also meets the third criteria of WP:NJournals since it is the first medical journal from India as well as South Asia on family medicine as a reference to this has been put already. Also a NLM catalog search proves this fact to be true.
 * Keep. The Wiki Page needs to stay.

 * Comment As I have tried to explain to Drsoumyadeepb on their talk page, PubMed coverage is automatic for any journal included in PMC. PMC accepts all OA journals in the life sciences and is not selective in the sense that NJournals uses. NJournals#3 is being misinterpreted. Being the only journal in a specific subfield published in a specific country is not really what is meant with "historic purpose or significant history". The reference is not independent, it's a gushing announcement on the website of an organization to which the society publishing this journal belongs. --Randykitty (talk) 13:28, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
