Anthropological Papers of the University of Alaska[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

An academic journal that seems quite unremarkable; the claim for notability is for having published "several key papers in Alaskan anthropology", a claim marked as "citation needed" since the page was created in April.

Keep I expected to find perhaps two dozen holdings on Worldcat from specialist libraries; to my surprise, there are 245 libraries. Clearly a major publication in its subject, and published for over 60 years now. I know circulation isn't a formal criterion, but it is also indexed in full in the only major indexing service in the field, Anthropological Index Online, and that is the basic formal criterion. All this could have been found before nominating. DGG ( talk ) 06:14, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- ...by someone who knows how to identify "major indexing services"; I don't. הסרפד (call me “Hasirpad”) (formerly R——bo) 06:36, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Notable pieces will either be references or articles. No need for an article that doesn't include that. Best case is a list of notable articles. --DHeyward (talk) 07:15, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Indexing in AIO, meets WP:NJournals. --Randykitty (talk) 12:06, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn as it seems that I misunderstood the definition of a major index (I thought it meant one encompassing many fields, as with the examples given in WP:NJOURNALS). הסרפד (call me Hasirpad) (formerly R——bo) 23:46, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
