Journal that existed only briefly. Never was indexed in any selective database. There are some in-passing mentions in reliable sources (like this brief paragraph in the LA Times), but no in-depth coverage. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG. Randykitty (talk) 16:30, 29 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. That link points to abstracts of three LA Times articles. When you click on the links to those articles, the articles themselves are more than a brief paragraph. James500 (talk) 13:49, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep per WP:NTEMP and WP:GNG: Google News shows ample secondary coverage. —rybec 02:43, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It got plenty of coverage in the popular press during its brief existence. Most of the coverage was of the "you'll get a chuckle out of this" variety, but still, a sociology journal that gets written up in USA Today, the New York Times, and a dozen other reliable sources is notable by any standard. The article needs to be expanded and some of these sources added. --MelanieN (talk) 03:17, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Withdrawn For some reason, the article titles on the LA Times page did not seem to link to anything when I nominated this article. Now they do... Must have been some transient glitch either on the website or on my computer. It's all still a bit meager (as MelanieN says: the "chuckle variety"), but just enough, I guess. --Randykitty (talk) 07:04, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
