 * OK, I don't know about this change in the result (well, I do know); this AfD might have gone different if different things had been known at different times. As it is, I ran into this, restored it, and added references to show notability. Drmies (talk) 01:52, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

It's not really clear whether this is an academic journal or a magazine (it looks like this was a peer-reviewed journal and then morphed into an online newsletter/magazine). In any case, there is no evidence that it meets any inclusion guidelines. There are no independent sources (I am discounting the cited listings in the Library of Congress Catalog and JSTOR, which do not constitute in-depth coverage), so this does not meet WP:GNG. The journal is not covered in any selective databases, so it does not meet WP:NJournals either. In the absence of any evidence that this is notable: Delete.

Delete per Randykitty, the journal did not meets wiki inclusion criteria of indexing. Jessie1979 (talk) 11:56, 29 October 2016 (UTC) "[Revert as per WP:BLOCKEVASION using strikethrough font. 19:57, 13 November 2016 (UTC)]"

 * Comment: Is there a way to let WP:African Diaspora know about this without canvassing please? Happy for someone else to do it.Zigzig20s (talk) 13:17, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I've posted a neutral note there, although that talk page doesn't seem to be very active. --Randykitty (talk) 13:58, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
