• Keep. Copyvio was removed from the article leaving very little information. This is a well-known student-edited publication publishing student papers, like many in Category:Academic journals edited by students, so we don't expect it to be indexed. It is listed on university sites as a place for students to publish and its notices appear on the AIP weekly news and the AAAS news site. See this link at the Union of Concerned Scientists blog.

• A couple of extremely brief in-passing mentions and a longer post on the blog of a sponsoring organization are not enough to meet GNG. (The subject doesn't have to meet NJournals if it meets GNG). --Randykitty (talk) 17:22, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: Big fail of GNG and WP:NJOURNALS. Almost all extensive sources I managed to find was from a site or a publisher related with the journal. GN-z11 ^{☎ ★} 13:38, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - Fails GNG and NJOURNALS. I don't think student-journals should be held to a lower threshold just because of that factor. Otherwise we would have a massive over-proliferation of this type of publication, for which peer-review is pretty scant and doubtless under-nourished.--Shibbolethink ^{(♔ ♕)} 17:03, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
