This magazine is notable based on several of the criteria for Media notability. First, the magazine has historical importance based on its influence in the UK peace movement during World War 2. This section was recently removed from the article. Second, The magazine is notable based on its status as one of the most significant intellectual Christian magazines with a circulation outside a particular denomination (i.e., it is significant in a non-trivial niche). Third, the magazine is notable as authoritative, as shown by frequent citation in peer magazines. I agree the article is too brief on these points, but the solution is to improve the article, not to delete it. Should keep. --Grec man (talk) 14:45, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Can you please cite any third party WP:RS which tell that the magazine is "one of the most significant intellectual Christian magazines with a circulation outside a particular denomination" or received significant awards? The content was removed because it was not properly sourced. For example, the statement about awards was sourced simply to this  which does not say anything about awards. I also noticed that this page was created by you . Based on your editing history, you may be affiliated with the Bruderhof Communities. Do you? If so, please check WP:COI.

 * Working on citing third parties in the article. The statement about awards was sourced to a link which you removed because it was dead; next time just put in a bit of effort to find the archived version. The better solution to poor sourcing is to add sources, not to delete all the content.--Grec man (talk) 02:02, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
 * So, you now included this ref to the page. OK. It appears that Library Journal did include "Plough Quarterly" to their list of new "High quality production" magazines in 2014, saying that "After ten years of having only an online presence, Plough Quarterly is back in print". OK. Is it really an award? Is it enough to establish notability of the magazine per WP:GNG? I do not think so, but leave this to other contributors to decide.

Keep; Based on recent updates from Grec Man, seems to address notability concerns with adequate 3P references.”86 Joe (talk) 03:08, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
