Africa & Science[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

While unusually difficult to search Google generally for due to its title, Google News, Scholar, and Books yield no significant results. Khazar2 (talk) 03:09, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, sadly. While it looks like a worthwhile publication, without other sources it can not pass WP's notability standard. BigJim707 (talk) 05:07, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, I don't think this article passes our general notability guidelines. I wasn't sure what to do with this article when I discovered it, so I asked at WikiProject Academic Journals and WikiProject Africa, but received no response at either of those venues. For the record, I said this on its talk page: "I'm not really sure how notable this publication is. A Google Search for its title does not yield any relevant results beyond its website (though I'm aware that the phrase "Africa & Science" can be used in other contexts). There aren't any Google Scholar results either. Do other reliable sources exist about this publication?" Graham87 14:55, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- A search for "Africa-and-Science" newspaper instead does return several more results. You may want to review the search results with that query. Diego (talk) 15:33, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - As far as I can tell, most of them are from the newspaper's official website, and those that aren't are just trivial mentions. Graham87 03:52, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I saw Graham87's note at WPJournals, but didn't immediately see anything helpful and postponed my response therefore. I still don't see anything here, so I guess we should delete it. I agree with BigJim707: sadly. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 15:01, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete in the absence of third-party sources that could establish some notability for this journal. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:21, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
