Discovered during CAT:NN cleanup, this survived an AfD in 2008 but has been tagged with primary sources/notability since December 2008. I looked for secondary coverage and could not find any, and it's still sourced to primary sources. I'd support keeping this if other sources are found, but I can't find any easily and for now it seems to fail WP:GNG. SportingFlyer T·C 18:46, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The previous AfD was under a different title, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Minority Issues. A significant amount of the current content appears copied from here. Normally, if a journal is legitimate but not much can be said about it, I'd suggest redirecting to the publisher, in this case St. Mary's University School of Law. Perhaps that could be done here.

I didn't think to do a copyvio, but you're right, most of the article is a copyvio. SportingFlyer T·C 21:31, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or redirect There's nothing there except self-description because there are no sources except themselves. North8000 (talk) 13:51, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
