Delete. This is not a journal. The journal is The Lancet Oncology. "Commissions" is a section/type of article/workgroup within the journal. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 20:30, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment/drafity? I agree this is not a journal. The question is, are the commissions notable?

I think maybe. But then we're back to the weirdness of the article suggesting this is a journal. So there isn't much good content to save. So maybe drafity? CT55555 (talk) 21:24, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The could be a journal article in which the commissions are mentioned, but the commissions themselves aren't anything special. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 22:14, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. No evidence that the commissions are themselves notable. --Randykitty (talk) 09:25, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Not a journal. The Lancet family of journals calls the mechanism they use for producing an issue of the journal focused on one topic a "commission". A different group of people work on each topic. Other scholarly journals also have issues focused on single topics with outside editors putting them together. It is unlikely that an editorial scheme for a particular journal would be notable. I am surprised the editor writing the article didn't understand this about journals.

  • Delete: As mentioned by HB and RK, this are commissions and not journal. The article is misleading as a research journal WikiPage. Hence, delete. ~ Nanosci (talk) 21:58, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
