New journal, article creation premature. Not included in any selective major database, no independent sources. Does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NJournals, hence: Delete. Guillaume2303 (talk) 14:42, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as not notable. All the refs do is prove that it exists, not that it is notable. GregJackP Boomer! 15:14, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete. If Guillaume is correct about database inclusion we have a good indication of non-notability. That the refs currently don't prove anything is par for the course for (new) academic journals, so that argument doesn't mean a whole lot. But these days, if something isn't included in the kind of database Guillaume is hinting at, it's one hand clapping in a forest where no tree is falling cause no one is there.
