Reg. Notability[edit]

Hello, @MPGuy2824, You have marked this page for WP:Notability.

Started in 1955, on the lines of The Geographical Journal by the National Geographical Society of India, it is one of the oldest and reputed journals in geography journals, started by the National Geographical Society of India itself, which is All-India professional body. Therefore, as mentioned in History remarks [1], it passes C1 & C3 of WP:JOURNALCRIT. Thanks, User4edits (talk) 06:49, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think Randykitty has done a good job of refuting your points at Talk:Banaras Law Journal#Proposed Deletion Reg.. To improve your arguments, you should add more non-primary WP:RS to the articles in question. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 08:28, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed Deletion Reg.[edit]

Hello, @Randykitty, You have marked this page for WP:PRD stating that

Non-notable journal. Not indexed in any selective databases. A Google search gives 73 hits, most of them issues of ths joornal in Google Books, but no in-depth independent sources. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG.

With reference to above, I request you to please see the above section on the talk page which explains C1 & C3 of WP:JOURNALCRIT.

Further, for me a Google search is showing about 8170 results, which includes citations in reputed journals or by reputed organisations across the world.

This article meets two of the WP:JOURNALCRIT separately, and therefore, I find it suitable to be kept.

Now, therefore, in light of the above, I request you to kindly remove the WP:PRD from the Article.

If you do not reply or act within 6 days, I shall be removing the template myself ex-parte. Thank you, User4edits (talk) 02:18, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As I explained at Talk:Banaras Law Journal, your arguments are by far not sufficient to meet C1 or C3. Hence, if you remove the PROD, I'll take this to WP:AFD. --Randykitty (talk) 06:53, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Removing template. Thereby making way for you to AfD. Thanks, User4edits (talk) 17:07, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
