The New Iraqi Journal of Medicine

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Ephemeral journal that apparently has ceased to exist. Homepage as given in the article (http://www.newiraqijm.4t.com/) is dead, as is another page that I found through Google (http://www.alkarkhjm.4t.com/). Article claims it was the official journal of the Iraqi Ministry of Health, but there is no evidence for that and even if true, that is not a claim for notability. The publisher seems to be a group of scientists loosely associated with the Index Copernicus, which according to the article was the only index that listed this journal. IC is user-contributed and hence listing in it does not confer any notability either. I have been unable to find independent sources and articles that appeared in this journal have negligible citation scores on Google Scholar. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG, hence: Delete.

 * Delete per Randykitty. I found a listing for it in the NLM catalog, but this listing states that this journal was not indexed by Medline. Also, Worldcat states that this journal is indexed by only 7 libraries, which seems far too low to satisfy WP:NJOURNALS.  Jinkinson   talk to me  03:18, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
