Previously deleted by PROD due to lack of indexing in selective databases, and I am afraid that is still the case, going by the list given in the article. "Following its relaunch, the journal is now pursuing inclusion in other indexes" does us no good at the current point in time. Possibly WP:TOOSOON, but not meeting WP:NJOURNAL right now. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 21:03, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wasn't aware that it had been created before, so sorry about the potential WP:TOOSOON. So being listed ("The journal is also listed in EBSCO Open Access Journals, EBSCO Complementary Index, OCLC OAIster, and Ulrichsweb Global Serials Directory.") is not sufficient?

Regarding demonstrating a journal's impact on or recognition in the field, what we are looking for is listing in selective databases. The ones named are either overtly all-inclusive (e.g., Google Scholar) or make no statements about selectivity (e.g., Philosopher's Index). - Also, I see you copied the "Abstracting and Indexing" paragraph directly from the journal's website; please don't do that - it's copyrighted. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 00:07, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Understood! Thank you on all counts. I'm ok with the page being deleted and will not copy-and-paste text from official sites in the future. FlybellFly (talk) 00:10, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
