Fails all the three criteria of WP:NJOURNAL. — kashmiri ^TALK 15:39, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I was on the verge of PRODding this, but Kashmiri beat me to it. No independent sources. Not included in any selective databases. The article originally claimed that the journal is indexed in Scopus (as does the journal's own homepage), but that failed verification (not in the journal list linked here). Does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NJournals. --Randykitty (talk) 15:52, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Are ESCI (Web of Science, Core Collection), MLA International Bibliography, and Linguistic Bibliography not selective database?Grisha fomenko (talk) 17:43, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The fact is that Scopus indexes its content very slowly. This journal has been accepted for indexing in Scopus only in March, 2016. Of course there is no entries about it here. But you can translate from Russian this one: it's only independent sources for the Scopus acceptace yet. So, are we waiting for a trusty infromation from here -- or delete soon?Grisha fomenko (talk) 17:43, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
So, you can read about this journal from its website and make your own impression about it. The institution, which publishes it, is rather authoritative, it isn't a predatory journal anyway. Hey, real specialists in Slavic studies, please say something about this journal! Grisha fomenko (talk) 17:43, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Grisha fomenko, agreed it is a real journal, it perhaps is not predatory - but encyclopaedic notability is not related to being "predatory" (it is perfectly possible for a predatory journal to be notable!). At WP:NJOURNAL, you can read the minimum requirements for a journal to be included in Wikipedia. As a general guideline, journals that are only a few years old are not considered established enough to be notable in their field, as it usually takes many years or decades to gain worldwide respect and name. Hope this helps. — kashmiri ^TALK 19:41, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi kashmiri, the Slavic studies in Russia (more precisely, in the Soviet Union) were destroyed in 1930s-40s by the totalitarian regime, therefore the age of corresponding journals doesn't matter. Our scholarship lived in underground for a long time, and now we are happy to be visible for English speakers indeed.Grisha fomenko (talk) 20:06, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
