Keep – doesn't this list meet the List Purpose > Navigation criterion? Sunwin1960 (talk) 09:46, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. As DGG says, absolutely non-encyclopedical. Almost every academic who publishes will publish in multiple outlets, so the fact that they publish in this journal, too, is basically near-trivial. Also, there is not a single independent source discussing the concept of "Journal of Contemporary History contributors". Note that the article creator, Sunwin1960, has also created a bunch of categories for "Journal of Foo people", all of which should be taken to CfD by somebody with time at their hands to clean up this mess. --Randykitty (talk) 11:11, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per DGG. We don't do this for any journal articles, and splitting it into its own list makes ever less sense. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 18:04, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
