Journal of The Pakistan Materials Society

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable journal that appeared for a brief period (2008-2010). Not indexed in any selective database, no independent sources. Does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NJournals. Randykitty (talk) 21:00, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Question: how do you know it "appeared for a brief period (2008-2010)"? I deleted the original speedy deletion to give myself time to check the amount of material produced and efectively I have to agree the journal seems of little relevance in the international context. I think the article could be fused into an article for The Pakistan Materials Society. Dentren  |  Ta lk  21:37, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Just follow the link to their own homepage. There is not a single issue listed after 2010. And for the record, I didn't put a "speedy deletion" tag on the article, but a "PROD" tag, which leaves you a whole week to improve the article if possible. As for including this journal in an article on the society, all that I could find was the page linked in the article, so there don't seem to be any independent sources. --Randykitty (talk) 21:48, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Ok. I see will have to agree to the deletion for now. Dentren  |  Ta lk  21:52, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. A journal which was operable for only two years and doesn't seem to have significant independent coverage or citation. MezzoMezzo (talk) 03:46, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
