This article is incredibly promotional, violating WP:SPAM. I tried to nominate it for speedy deletion under G11, but the tag keeps getting deleted with the silly construction notice. No work has been done on it. Delete GreenJoe 05:38, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep If you think no work has been done, you should check back on the much spammier original. It gives the purpose, it gives the type of material, it gives the editor. the original article listed him two or three times over, and some of the other editorial people also, but I removed that. The notability rests on the inclusion in the two standard indexes in the subject, Library Literation and Library and Information Science abstracts. DGG (talk) 05:44, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Agreed with DGG. I'm not sure what makes it particularly spam-ish - seems pretty factual to me. And I would say the fact that it's peer reviewed would also help its notability (or at least its credibility, which seems linked to notability). --Gpollock 07:05, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, agreed that this appears notable in the academic sense. Tagged as {{primary sources}}, but otherwise fine. --Dhartung | Talk 10:18, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, as academic journals are generally considered notable. A note, though, that it should be renamed with just the title, no acronym, after close. AKRadeckiSpeaketh 18:43, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I need to check, but I think the form as stated is the official title, emphasisng the E- part. So what it would need is a redirect. DGG (talk) 00:02, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- A professional, peer-reviewed academic journal that's archived by Library and Archives Canada sure seems notable enough to me. Keep. Bearcat 05:30, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Peer-reviewed journal, indexed by relevant subject-specific indexers, in its eighth volume. Espresso Addict 23:40, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
