Article PRODded with reason "Non-notable journal, tagged for notability since 2014. Not indexed in any selective databases, no independent sources. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG." PROD challenged on talk page because Beta is "a serious and respected academic journal published by Norway's leading academic publisher". However, notability is WP:NOTINHERITED and being "serious and respected" does not make a subject notable. GScholar does not show much citations to articles published in this journal, hence PROD reason still stands. Therefore: Delete. Randykitty (talk) 09:04, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete This journal appears to have published about 7 articles per year in the past few years. That is fine, but in my opinion, these articles are not particularly weighty or scholarly. Since there are so few I am able to browse titles and abstracts. One article is a comparison of a financial process at two banks during one year; several of these articles seem to be essays which would require no conventional peer review; and some of these are speculations on how to do more research. I have not read these articles, just the abstracts. This alone is not a reason to delete, I feel that I am unable to offer a rationale to keep when also this article fails other notability criteria.
