Article PRODded with reason "Non-notable journal. Not indexed in any selective databases, no independent sources. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG." Article dePRODded by artucle creator with reason "Wikipedia talk:Notability (academic journals)#RfC on notability criteria. It's just an essay, not a guideline. Therefore, invoking this essay fails as a rationale for a proposed deletion. NJournals may be an essay only, but GNG most definitively is not. PROD reason still stands, hence: Delete.

- Comment Apologies to Randykitty; I concur that WP:GNG is a relevant rationale. I think I may have been hasty in translating this article from uk:Залізничний транспорт України (журнал) to English before checking whether it would meet the GNG on English Wikipedia. Although it is frequently mentioned in independent, secondary, reliable sources, and used as a reliable source in other journals, meeting the WP:SIGCOV requirement is going to be more difficult than I expected, at least from English-language sources. It may be possible to do so with Ukrainian-language sources, but the digital, autotranslatable sources in Ukrainian that I can find about this journal might not be enough. It probably would require an editor who is better at reading Ukrainian texts in printed works or PDF files without machine translations than I can. Anyone reading this who could, or knows someone who could, is welcome to try! But if not, might it be a better idea to Merge the relevant contents to Ukrainian Railways#Science and education section for now? It seems the best place to keep it until (if ever) this journal merits a stand-alone article. Good day, NLeeuw (talk) 09:59, 28 June 2025 (UTC)
