Journal of Scientific Research of the Banaras Hindu University

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Article PRODded with reason "Non-notable journal. Not indexed in any selective databases. A Google search gives 62 hits, most of them issues of this journal in Google Books, but no in-depth independent sources. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG." Article dePRODded by creator who posted justification on article's talk page. The arguments given rest on a misinterpretation of NJournals, so PROD reason still stands. Hence: delete.

 * Are you able to point to any relevant notability guideline to indicate that this journal meets it? WP:JOURNALCRIT doesn't enjoy the status of being a subject-specific notability guideline (SNG), but WP:DEL-REASON#8 gives policy-based reasons to delete articles that do not meet any of the relevant notability guidelines. In other words, can you point to the SNG(s) that this article's subject satisfies and/or can you provide evidence that this passes the WP:GNG? —  Red-tailed hawk (nest) 03:44, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge with Institute of Science, Banaras Hindu University, which publishes the journal, but currently contains no information about it (or any other journal). Cielquiparle (talk) 15:23, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment: That article is itself also problematic, as it has no in-depth independent sources (I am ignoring several in-passing mentions added today by ). The whole set of articles smells like a walled garden to me, with articles for all institutes/faculties, something we usually don't even do for much more notable universities than this one. --Randykitty (talk) 14:16, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
 * @Randykitty You can propose to merge them all to Banaras Hindu University, however, not the place to discuss that. User4edits (talk) 19:27, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Comment I have expanded the article with some research, you may please want to see. Thanks, User4edits (talk) 11:27, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment: While I appreciate your efforts, I don't see anything that would make me change my mind. Some in-passing mentions or listings are not sufficient to establish notability. --Randykitty (talk) 11:50, 20 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Merge to Banaras_Hindu_University in light of the tenuous status of the previous merge target I suggested. (So far, the most in-depth coverage I have found on the Institute of Science, Banaras Hindu University is an article on the 100-year history of the Department of Geology within the Institute of Science, which appeared in the 2020 issue of Current Science, but it turns out the author is affiliated with the department (so isn't independent), plus it is focused only on that one department.)

 * Merge to Banaras_Hindu_University not notable to have a standalone article. KSAWikipedian (talk) 14:48, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
