Journal of Global Health

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article was PRODded with reason "Non-notable new journal, not listed in any selective major databases, no independent sources. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG." De-PRODded by article creator because: "I have removed the proposed deletion notice as this journal runs for one year now, it has applied for PubMed indexing this week and is run by one of the biggest research teams. Soon it will receive an impact factor as well." That the journal has been in existence for 1 year (and has published 2 issues) is irrelevant. As an open-access journal, it will certainly be listed in PubMed, but whether it will be included in the selective part (MEDLINE) is another matter. At this point, there is no indication either that the journal is going to be included in Thomson-Reuters databases (and hence receive an impact factor). See WP:CRYSTAL. At this point, the PROD rationale stands, hence: delete (without prejudice for re-creation at a later time if the journal gets included in selective databases or independent sources about the journal become available).

 * I have no objections to Guillaume2303's comments. I think the rationale is correct. I will re-submit the article when the journal fullfills the criteria. Ekorakakis (talk) 12:05, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
 * As the preceding comment is from the article creator, I move for a speedy closure as CSD G7. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 13:08, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
