Socialist Studies (1983)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

I can't find anything on the work, or the publisher for that matter, so lacks sourcing and notability. Wizardman 19:46, 5 December 2008 (UTC) 
 * Tentative keep. The Society for Socialist Studies was most active in a time before the WWW, so it's not surprising there isn't much information on them online. I believe they are notable, but evidence of their notability (and that of their book series) is going to be found principally in offline sources from the 1980s.  Note that the Society continues to publish, as evidenced by this recent call for papers. —Psychonaut (talk) 20:02, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep I agree with Psychonaut, probable keep. . These books are collections of essays, & individual essays could be cite, or individual vols, or the whole series as if it were a periodical. WorldCat shows copies of most of them in most Canadian universities. (very few US, but that's US parochialism).   There are scatterred citations to various parts in GScholar. On balance, I'd say notable. DGG (talk) 00:06, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:34, 10 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep I found little on the internet but, as outlined above, much of the info will be in offline sources. Hopefully someone will research these to verify notability. --Stormbay (talk) 18:56, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
