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 arguing that this, being "the first multilingual European journal published in the field of non-European philosophy", has historical significance. There are no sources discussing this "historical significance" and being the first journal in an area is not enough for notability (GNG or NJournals). The argument about Eurocentrism and structural racism is nonsense: both the Science Citation Index Expanded and Scopus, for example, include numerous journals that are multilingual (or published in another language than English) on non-Western subjects. Therefore PROD reason still stands, hence: Delete. Randykitty (talk) 16:35, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

• Delete I only see the journal in 6 libraries worldwide. I am not finding evidence of notability. Wm335td (talk) 17:11, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
