Self-published new journal, not yet notable: no third party sources, apparently not indexed anywhere. Article deprodded with reason "i do "otherwise" object. I would hope that any journal published by the ASL would qualify as notable". Indeed, the journal's only claim to notability is being sponsored (not published) by the Association for Symbolic Logic. Sponsorship apparently intended to increase visibility for new journals. Article creation premature, does not meet WP:Notability (academic journals) or WP:GNG.

Oppose - Let me say up front that I do not think holding academic journals to the same standard of notability as other articles is smart AT ALL. We should be endeavoring to compile information on ANY journal which may be used as a source within WP. However, with that policy position stated, I still think within our current guidelines we have a keeper based on its affiliation with ASL. They're not exactly a 'journal mill' you know.

Comment Personally, I don't keep journals up to the same standards as other subjects at all, I use WP:NJournals. However, many editors find that essay too lax, so I cite WP:GNG when prodding of taking an article to AfD. If I were to take GNG as sole guideline, there would probably be a couple of hundred journal articles that would qualify... The current example, though, fails all possible criteria of notability. It's "affiliation" with ASL does not appear to be more than a simple endorsement. It is not published by ASL, nor does ASL have any influence on the journal's editorial policy, etc. --Crusio (talk) 16:38, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Association_for_Symbolic_Logic in section "Publications" but note that this journal is sponsored by, not published by ASL. BrideOfKripkenstein (talk) 21:50, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
