Non-notable journal. Not indexed in any selective databases, no independent sources. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG Randykitty (talk) 12:35, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep The following link shows that the journal is indexed in Scholar (https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=Journal+of+Statistics+and+Management+Systems&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5). So I propose not to delete the page. Sulthan (talk)

• Comment Google Scholar is not a selective database in the sense of WP:NJournals, as it strives to include everything. --Randykitty (talk) 12:58, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Looks like an interesting publication "for the sum of all human knowledge"? Fotaun (talk) 15:57, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Could you please tell us which guideline/policy says that "interesting" is enough to be notable? My cleaning lady is a very interesting person, really fascinating. Perhaps I should write a bio about her "for the sum of all human knowledge"? --Randykitty (talk) 16:26, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Additional comment: see also WP:INTERESTING. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 01:54, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. This article is does not satisfy WP:GNG because its notability has not been substantiated by reliable sources. Nor does the journal satisfy any of the criteria of WP:NJOURNALS. It is not indexed in selective databases and it looks like it has only been cited a handful of times by other publications. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 22:28, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

* Keep This article is about a journal that has been indexed in several selective databases which are notable, such as Inspec, Mathematical Reviews, and Current Index to Statistics (for more search on the List of academic databases and search engines). Because of this, the article satisfies Criterion 1 of WP:NJOURNALS and it should be kept. - tucoxn\^talk 07:29, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: Those databases are indeed notable. However, none of them are selective in the sense of WP:NJournals, so inclusion in them does not establish notability and this still fails NJournals#C1. --Randykitty (talk) 11:27, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that clarification. I'm striking my !vote. - tucoxn\^talk 14:21, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak delete. No links or possible links from other articles tot his one on WP, making it WP:O. Paper Journal is marginally indexed, but the Online Journal is not indexed at all. No news-articles found (only to the “International Journal of Statistics and Management Systems,” which is another journal). It all doesn’t look very notable to me. I am inclined that a delete-vote would be appropriate, but if someone could convince me otherwise, I am willing to hear his/her arguments. Regards,Jeff5102 (talk) 11:26, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
