Notability[edit]

It seems this article has already been deleted and recreated several times. The conclusion of the last AfD was that it was too soon for the brand new journal to be considered notable. I'm not sure if that has changed in the last two years. Pinging participants in the last AfD, in case they have any thoughts: @Randykitty, David Eppstein, Headbomb, Drmies, DGG, Bejnar, and MelanieN:. – Joe (talk) 10:34, 6 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I was the admin who closed the previous AfD. I see from the history here that this article was initially tagged for G4 speedy deletion, as a recreation of an item that had been deleted via a deletion discussion. That tag was removed based on assurances from the author (who is also the creator and editor of the journal) that the problems identified at that AfD have been fixed. I do not agree with that assessment. The current version is virtually identical to the previously deleted version, and if I had encountered this article while it was still tagged for G4, I would have deleted it. --MelanieN (talk) 17:24, 6 October 2017 (UTC) P.S. After reading the note below, and taking a second look at the deleted article, I find that there have been a few improvements so it does not qualify for G4 after all. It could only be deleted via a second AfD. --MelanieN (talk) 17:35, 6 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, I think another Afd is appropriate, recent indexing notwithstanding. --Bejnar (talk) 02:29, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

@Joe This page should not be speedily deleted because I think that the situation has changed since my first proposal. In fact, the journal has been cover-to-cover indexed by Mathematical Reviews and Zentralblatt MATH, and it is included in the American Mathematical Society list of journals. The journal has published three volumes up to now and each paper has been reviewed by the above quoted databases. This was not the case at the time of the first proposal. --Francesco de Giovanni (talk) 10:52, 6 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't nominate it for deletion, Randykitty did, but I've gone ahead and removed the tag based on what you've written here. I don't think WP:CSD#G4 applies either. – Joe (talk) 11:07, 6 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
